  • My first phone, I loved it! But bad by my new standards

    This was my first phone. I might be biased because I love it so much. It's laggy as all hell, it has no flash, the camera is horrible, and it has a 480p screen that I can't see in the daytime, but it was my first experience with a computer I could hold in my hand.
    Back then the screen wasn't really an issue so much as it was a standard. It was Usable.
    Same with the camera, it was Usable. No flash either, but it's $100 and from 2016, give it a break!
    Processor worked back then, but now it takes over 30 seconds to load an app.
    Basically, Don't get this phone. The specs are terrible. But the nostalgia of my first phone means I can't resist it's cute plastic frame.

    Pros
    • It has a front camera?
    • LED notifications I think
    • Ok sound because front firing speakers
    • The battery lasts well
    • It's so cute!
    • Teaches patience

  • It was a great experience and while it has some shortcomings, when you consider the price and the pure android system, it is very enjoyable

    Comfortable, 4.5p screen is very easy to handle with one hand and fits every pocket. It feels sturdy and had survived more falls than I wish it had, great battery, long a full day with heavy usage and screen on time. The performance is decent, but considering the price range and the pure android experience, it is simple the best budget phone you can get from a great company.

    Pros
    • Small size means easy to use with one hand
    • Battery last for a full day with heave usage
    • Chipset and ram combined with pure stock android equals a decent performance for its price
    • It supports 4G
    • Solid construction and splash resistant, scratch resistant screen and so give you peace of mind
    Cons
    • Screen is low res (960x540)
    • On screen buttons means less screen real estate
    • While it has expandable memory, 8gb is scarce for the most heavy apps and you will eventually have to uninstall some of them

    Good for little babies

    The truth is that it is a disappointment, but the truth is that I cannot ask for much because it is a cell phone from 6 years ago, it is used for the most basic ones, such as watching videos, answering messages and calls and playing a not very demanding game.

    • Connectivity
    • Weight
    • Size
    • Comfortable
    Cons

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.
