    It can still put up a fight despite the fact that it is already more than obsolete

    I bought it on sale for 40 dollars and in my opinion this phone can still give a lot of itself but with many limitations the main thing to emphasize is that SoC Kirin 655 still performs well in some games and I have even managed to install and play others that no range low / medium low at the moment they can run however the GPU weighs down all that experience MLBB has graphic errors (sometimes) other games like Pokemon unite and I even tried genshin impact and I get them to run (obviously in low graphics for the first one and a very low configuration for the second one) but in the second one I had many problems with bugs or graphic waste, what I would emphasize is that the memory it has is moderately fast, I could compare it with an S7 edge that I had at the time since downloading files as well as reading and writing operations is fast and now the ugliest thing about this mobile is the software, thanks Huawei, we appreciate that you have removed the versions of EMUI 5.0.4 from es te and other similar phones, leaving only the new generation with the ability to recover it via Erecovery (it doesn't work on the mate 9 lite) leaving it impossible to restore it officially and having to resort to external methods, thus having a high chance of damaging them (it came to me with emui 4.1 and android 6 so I had to update it by the DLOAD method on the SDCARD to upload it to 7 and also the installation was corrupted but usable losing many functions since it is impossible to find the most recent signature completely) and finally Although the battery has a good capacity, it does not have the best duration, although it is quite neutral since it needs to be changed.In conclusion, if they sell it to you cheaply, you can buy it as a secondary phone (not much as a primary phone) more than anything because as of today Android 6.0 is entering its obsolescence stage (several apps are no longer compatible) and Android 7.0 is already there to get in there

    Mobile currently obsolete, regulate in power at that time, regular-good camera, good imternet. Too fragile

    The phone for the weather was good, the camera seemed excellent but because it had very bad cameras. The performance was good, not demanding much and was regular in some games. The Wifi was regular, it was not the fastest, the bad thing was the mobile data, very bad. The mobile was large and a beautiful design, the construction material was metal, the back was tough, but the screen is very fragile, I dropped from my shirt pocket to the floor and the screen cracked incredibly. I made it change, and it lasted less than a year because the touch stopped working. The screen was good, but looking somewhere you saw different. The camera was good if you didn't zoom in so much. Recognition for very good footprint.

    I had it twice and the truth seemed bland

    The panel is good, IPS 1080p good colors and viewing angles, the performance is pretty good, the processor performs well in common apps but in games lost a bit by the GPU, the camera is the worst of this phone, it has double sensor rear that supposedly one of them helps the portrait mode that is a frightful circular blur, the front camera is horrible, both cameras have very little level of detail, noise even with very good lighting, it lacks a lot of work in the final processing, the sensor Fingerprint is fast and reliable, I had it with 6.0.1 and never arrived nougat by the operator, the battery lasted more than a day without problems, the sound by both headphones and the speaker was deplorable, little presence of serious and medium, high loud cigars and very little definition

    Pros
    • Robust design
    • Enough panel
    • Fast fingerprint sensor
    • Very good battery
    Cons
    • Both cameras very insufficient
    • Updates

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.
