  • Old but gold

    I got the phone with a broken screen from somebody and I fixed it. I got to experience iOS in detail for my first time. The phone is kind of aged but still usable. The camera is decent, even now, the display is beautiful, decent colors and high pixel density. Battery lasts about 4 hours (continuous screen-on usage), at 99% health. It is sluggish sometimes in everyday use, but PUBG is pretty well optimized. The 64 GB version I got is a bit too low for my needs.

  • Still good after all those years

    Bought to test out iOS 18 when it arrives and really impressed how a 6 year old phone has held up. It is so very smooth UI for such an old phone. Impressed Android user. All the negatives are however the os. No universal swipe back, top left back button (but not all the time) awkwardness, poor typing correction suggestion vs android, limited unintuitive file manager vs android.

  • Complete junk.

    Junk. Second one after an insurance exchange. Selectively stops sending emails, texts and other functions. Every update, Apple screws it up even more. Searches endlessly for contacts and does not allow you to email or text them because it never finds them. Must reboot 3-5 times per day to maintain basic functions. Awkward to reboot, at least for someone who is older.

    Pros
    • None. This phone is junk.
    Cons
    • Everything.

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.
