How we reached this verdict
This is a research-based review, not a claim of hands-on testing. We checked an exact UK retail configuration, its published feature summary and price on 1 August 2026, then cross-referenced manufacturer documentation and authoritative category guidance. Retail popularity did not determine the verdict or score. Where dependable independent hands-on testing was not yet available for a new or lower-volume model, we did not substitute an unrelated review.
