  • Not for everyday use

    This phone is quite good but has drawbacks such as it gets hot easily, the battery runs out quickly and the performance is not very strong even though it is a gaming phone.

  • Always problems

    At first it was a nice phone, heavy weight, but big. But after a while the performance declined... Crashes op the system... Had big problems with double sim, especially with double whatsapp, after a year or two it crashed, the second whatsapp didn't work anymore, changing the second sim into another phone gave loss of all the chats!!!
    Later more system problems, freeze, especially Google maps.... And since a few weeks total crash of the simconnection... It doesn't see the inserted sim.. And notifications after some action in an app disappear only after 2 minutes..... So the system has crashed... I did a reset to manufactury settings.... The systems works smooth, accept for the two big problems : NO SIM, and two minutes appearance of notifications..... Also big problems with changing WhatsApp to another phone, but I think that's also due to WhatsApp...
    Can't sell it anymore. worst smartphone ever,
    besides samsung..... ☺

  • A strong and wonderful phone, but its screen is fragile and from the first fall it will break

    Unfortunately, it fell to the floor from a height of no more than 100 cm (a table). It broke down at the time:
    Side vital game buttons + fingerprint.
    After less than 4 days it suddenly stopped working..
    It was checked by a technician to repair it. He concluded that the battery is not responding and that it is impossible to find spare parts.

    Because, unfortunately, the Middle East region is not among the markets in which a phone is offered for sale.

    Pros
    • Great screen, high quality
    • sound quality of the DIRAC speakers is fantast
    • Powerful speaker sound
    • Powerful processor and strong performance in games
    • two type-c charger ports
    • 65W fast charging
    Cons
    • Fragility
    • Excessively long
    • heavy weight
    • It cannot be controlled with one hand
    • It heats up quickly, but performance is not affect

  • It's a good gaming phone but not the perfect one.

    i was expecting more for this phone especially the battery for full day of use usually i got 20-30 left before i charge it up again. well maybe my expectation was too high but overall it's a good phone for a daily use.

    Did not meet expectations

    To my bad luck, it stopped working after 3 years of using it, I expected it to last at least 5 years, while I was playing Mech Arena, a game that requires medium resources, it froze, turned off and no longer turned on, the 6000mAh battery It was barely enough for a few hours of play, in standby it could have lasted the day, very heavy to hold, sometimes it got quite hot, it rarely stopped charging, I guess battery self-maintenance or updating, who knows, but I had to use the forced start to make it work again, when it was damaged I lost many images and videos as it did not have external memory, the connectivity is not perfect and it fails to read some QR codes, despite everything I found it to be a great gamer mobile, very cool detail of the illuminated logo on the back, that gave it a touch of exclusivity, but I no longer dare to purchase another mobile phone from this brand (Asus), unless they give it to me as a gift.

    Pros
    • Power for apps and games
    • Good sound without headphones
    • Screen with excellent resolution
    • Quite sensitive touch
    • Intuitive operating system
    Cons
    • Weight
    • Warming up and turns off from time to time
    • Tends to be damaged internally
    • SD memory cannot be used
    • Faulty connectivity

    Interesting

    Actually, I had a Chinese 5s, but the memory loss forced me to look for a new board. I found an original from America from 5, it seems to work, but there are some nuances: the fingerprint does not work (very inconvenient for daily use), the air triggers do not work (not critical if you have a cooler), due to the American board (maybe not because For this) applications such as Pay World, Ru Store and in the same spirit like government services do not work. But in general, the phone is very pleasant to use and play on it, excellent responsiveness to touch and some kind of moisture protection. There is a huge problem with covers: there are none!!! (good and high quality with pictures)

    Pros
    • operating speed
    • appearance
    Cons
    • reliability of the side charging port
    • I didn’t find any covers to my liking

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
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.
