- Is enough for work
Is enough for work. When I say this, I didn't knew what I was looking for with this phone, once I had it, everything was alright but then, the phone started restarting itself, lagging out, kicking me out of apps.
the photo quality in so many apps is so bad, so bad that takes between 3-8 attempts to get a visible photo.
Gaming, the screen does looks great but, when it comes to shooters and active tapping games, it's the worst, takes between 0.5-1.00 seconds to respond and I've tried to do many things to Fix it, nothing has worked yet.
the only good thing about my experience with the phone is that it runs google, PowerPoint, Word, Excel and communication apps just good, with good I mean as long as you don't put much images, long texts and files into it, it works just enough to be good.
The wifi kicks me out every once in a while, even when data is on, once or more times in a day I'm stranded with no connection.
Overall, do not get it.
It hasn't updated in a while too.Pros- Screen

I'm using less than half the storage, and yet I can't play a semi-demanding game, switch to another app for a second, and then come back without the game reloading. The battery is sufficient and charges at a good rate. Photos are either too dark or too bright, and it's difficult to keep them from coming out blurry.
Pros- nice interface
- Gemini AI
Cons- slow
- basic camera

View answers- AutoIt has been a good cell phone, although for the price I bought it I could have bought a better one, I am not complaining because it has served me well
It really has a good design, I like that it is comfortable and not very heavy like others. The cameras are something that does not stand out about this cell phone. The battery is decent. Good for everyday use, but not for extreme use.
