    "Beautiful phone with a curved design and comfortable even for medium-small hands, fast charging, but fragile and with microphone problems.

    The phone is very beautiful and has a curved design that feels really good in the hand. It's easy to hold, even for those with medium to small hands. However, it's a somewhat fragile device, especially the included cover and the buttons, which don't feel very sturdy. The screen is excellent and offers really good visual quality. Charging is very fast, a major plus. On the other hand, it has serious issues with the microphone: during calls, you often get nothing, and my friends struggle to hear me. It also tends to get hot from time to time, although this doesn't happen too often.

    Pros
    • design
    • screen
    • drums
    • very fast charging
    • excellent ergonomics
    Cons
    • microphone
    • cover (included)

    good, nice, and cheap

    A very good phone for its price-quality ratio. Its flaws are quite pronounced: it's very fragile, has a short battery life (though fast charging compensates for this), and suffers from overheating. Its strengths are also very pronounced: the design, a very good screen, and a camera that rivals any other phone. After two years of use and soon to be replaced, I can say that I'm very happy with it. I'm only replacing it because I want to or because it failed me, but more because the screen is cracked, and I'm treating myself to a little upgrade (to the Edge 60 Pro; I'm not abandoning this generation because I absolutely love it). I highly recommend this phone, which might be the first one I'll be sad to part with.

    This device turned out magnificent!

    It's an experience that's surprising; I didn't imagine it would be so well-received, especially seeing it being so highly praised even several months after its release.

    If you use the camera and know how to use pro mode, you get spectacular photos, and it has more audio codecs than newer devices, which makes it worthwhile if you're an audiophile.

    • It gets hot when it's under a lot of strain, but it doesn't get hot.

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.
