  • Premium feeling capable smartphone Made in Germany

    Capable phone. Quick mobile internet, download speed fast. Build quality is decent. Materials feel premium. As good as any other snazzy specced smartphone. Noticed it's Made in Germany so surely should be more expensive?? Got a privacy Matt black screen protector and chose the titanium grey model. Rear of phone has a mirrored chrome like metal finish and front is 2.5D V notch glass. The camera is decent definitely exceeds quality of Samsung S8 for example, (cannot comment on S9 or S10) has a Pro mode which probably makes use of the dual lenses on rear camera because I was able to selectively focus on photos being captured earlier today and in the evening. In fact the Pro mode was able to sharply focus and capture scrolling text on a dark OLED display of an MP3 player just now in the dark. Battery life is the best I've had from a smartphone to date. I leave it in power saver and do not use the screen much during daytime as I have also connected a Sony SBH54 Bluetooth headset handset. It

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.
