  • Over a day battery life non gaming!

    Review on purchase of Edge 40 £185 CEX grade A in box. It's a really nice phone. I am getting on average a day of battery, often 20-25% next morning and 8-9hrs SOT per accubattery 60hz, 5g off, and no stupid battery drain issues also reported elsewhere. Oh, and the 'Ready For' app is awesome, 'sends' an android desktop to my TV (or any connected screen) with on phone screen touch mouse pad control! Shows all android apps on my phone on TV! Awesome, kinda like an Android tablet on screen. First phone I've had in a while that feels really nice and is nice to use for daily stuff and the more I use it the more I like it. If only someone at Lenovo got their head on re timely and extensive software updates they'd wipe the floor.....

    Pros
    • Weight/feel/ build
    • 'Ready For' app
    • Screen/ brightness
    • Super quick charging
    • 256GB storage std
    • Software -screen attention, sidebar etc

  • Good phone wiht a nice underrated price, bestbuy in my opinion for mid range.

    Just got android 14, depending on usage, battery may not last a whole day. Camera is what surprised me and the resiliance of the display to scratches. First phone im not using protection for the screen, and it has fallen on the floor from 0.5m. Procesor does its job, but the phone has some stuttering problems sometimes (no deal breakers - no in app problems). Feels great in hand, doesnt slip because of faux leather. Smells great out of the box (trust me and sniff it). Controling sound volume is a hasttle, it lags like hell - biggest minus on my side.

    Pros
    • Great display - even better with android 14 update
    • Camera functions and quality are astounding for me
    • Wireless charging
    • Scratch resistant screen
    • Stereo sound with dolby app
    • Great wifi range - best ive seen yet
    Cons
    • Not the best battery autonimy if you want to use it at best performance
    • Can stutter while navigating system
    • Buttons for sound control are lagging like hell

    Good value for money

    I bought it when I was young because it was cheap and had good reviews, and after almost four years, it hasn't disappointed me. The battery lasts a long time and continues to do so. I've dropped it a thousand times, and it doesn't have a scratch. It has more than enough memory and the power to run any normal game. On the downside, I'd say the camera, with its AI that enhances photos, is generally very good at 1x zoom, but as soon as you zoom in, it gets pixelated, or in bright light, it can get blurry. However, the night photos are amazing. It also has some issues with Android Auto.

    Good phone but has a few flaws

    Responsiveness is definitely a big plus; it doesn't freeze and works lightning fast. Another big plus is that it takes 40 minutes to fully charge. Overall, I rate the phone positively.

    Pros
    • Landing
    • Speed of action
    • Apparatus
    • Screen
    Cons
    • It's overheating
    • Curved screen drama
    • Poor visibility in full sunlight

    Good, but not enough.

    Excellent in every way: camera, power, screen durability and responsiveness, but it falls short in battery life and gets as hot as an oven.

    It's good, I bought it when it came out, it's the best for the price I paid, it runs everything and doesn't freeze, it's drop resistant.

    The camera is good if you know how to use it; the battery was good the first year, and charging is uneven.

    Excellent, on par with the upper mid-range.

    It's a mid-to-high-end phone (for me it's high-end) because of its features; the only downsides are the battery and photography.

    Pros
    • Processor
    • Fast charging
    • Screen and 144Hz
    • Camera in certain environments
    Cons
    • Night vision camera

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.
