    the misunderstood

    The device had some problems at first due to incompatibility, so it took a while for asus to settle zenui's hand with Intel, after it was discontinued I did a benchmark test with some newer devices and it was jaw-dropping, the lg q7+ took such a beating that in the end I even got rid of it, that's a 2015 phone against a 2017. It was very fast, very powerful even more for what it cost, his camera was something surreal, it took pictures in the dark without a flash and over long distances. But as not everything is "flowers" his Achilles heel was the battery, it drained very fast and when he got old it got even worse. I stayed with it for a year, gave it to my mother, it came back to me and the last time I lent it it was bad.

    Years and still powerful

    The quality of the construction is phenomenal, it restored time and falls very well, the back cover after many years peeled off, several times it became my spare cell phone and is still being used today, of course "forcing the bar", lives in dependence from powebank, out of battery it almost doesn't reach 2 hours, even at the time the battery was its defect. As it is very old it doesn't update anymore, it was a great experience, you saw in practice Asus' dedication in bringing a good experience. The performance in games was something absurd, intermediate cell phones 2 years apart were left behind and a lot. His strong point was the camera, the famous "owl", the artificial intelligence was very lame and you depended on him understanding that it was dark for the button to appear and almost always made mistakes but when you used it it was fantastic, it was a photo in pitch without flash , nowadays it has resources that are equal and even better, but years after the launch I saw it have very good results.

    I liked him ...

    It was the best smartphone I've had so far (11/04/19). He performed well for games and day to day. The rear camera was good, but the selfie camera I didn't use due to the low resolution. The battery was average. He didn't heat up much when using it. I liked native apps and other Asus apps. At one point Asus released a system update that was not good for him, so I preferred to go back to the original system. Unfortunately I lost it on the street after almost a year of use.

    Stunning phone

    A smart phone for your money! Just over 3 years ago I bought it for 6 990, and it's an amazing price for a phone with such features and capabilities. So much time has passed, and now he is already an "old man", but will give a head start to half of modern smartphones. The camera is gorgeous! All very clearly removes, even in the dark! Its only drawback is the battery (If you actively use it, even for a day is not enough (

    In 2014 was the top

    The phone is good, but for 2 years of use the battery has degraded severely and now it's enough for 10 hours of inactive use. From demanding games heats up very much.

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.
