To recap

All in all this isn’t a bad phone. If you bought one you’d probably be content with its capabilities. What it is, however, is a confusing entry to the G-series, skewing the range’s numbering convention and delivering a handset that - aside from the 5G addition - is largely worse off than the lower-spec and lower-price G30.
