    • Holds up really well in 2024, but the Verizon bloat ware doesn't help.

      I bought this phone when it released at a Verizon store as a free upgrade from my very much aged iPhone 4, and I'm glad I picked this phone. Personally, I think the white version looks the nicest. The aluminum feels really soft but is really rugged and survived the 2 months I went using it without a case no problem. The back glass is nice and strong and even 7 and a half years later it still hasn't cracked. It does get pretty hot sense it's on the latest firmware, but if the device is OEM Unlocked (like mine) you can just flash a clean install. Root is an option, but its pretty tricky and personally I just couldn't get it myself.

    What is a Ki score?
    Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
    How do we calculate the Ki?

    In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

    • Design and screen
    • Hardware and performance
    • Camera
    • Connectivity
    • Battery

    Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

    Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

    Does the Ki score change?

    The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
