  • Than an idea, not a phone, all Chinese phone will be better


    This is just an average phone. For its price, it offered decent specifications, but it still lagged behind Chinese manufacturers.

    It has decent features overall, and I would rate it much higher if not for the issues with the operating system. Sometimes it lags significantly, and in certain situations, it can freeze completely, requiring a reboot. The camera is somewhere on par with the iPhone 13, but the software is terrible. You can't take several photos in a row without experiencing significant delays between shots. Sometimes, the camera doesn't even launch on the first attempt.

    The glyphs are cool but completely useless. So, this is truly a phone for enthusiasts and geeks. If you're just looking for a good phone, it's better to skip this model.

  • Its simple phone with leds on backs with nice design with no worries about whole phone.

    System is very clean with Nothing font and some Nothing icons. Its not gaming phone but still have enaugh power to play some games and main more then enaugh power to smorh user experience with everyone app. Design is very nice with led and transparent back is very special something what none smartphone have. Built quality si good. Its quite good felling to hold phone in hand but plastic of back ruin filling. Photos are good but nothing from what you will be surprised. Photo have not very good colors and not very sharp but also it can some times make very nice photo. At night it make pretty bright photo and I think its not bad its good but everytime I look on some photo I saying in my head "Something is there missing". Ultrawide is worst but still good I think. I'm so glad for there is macro in ultrawide and phone have just 2 camera from back. Display is OLED with 120Hz and colors is good (just good) and also it have always on display. And finaly leds on back or glyphs. Its pretty good but it have just 21 ringtone/notification light preset and you cant make your own and thats it is a pity. A lot a people saying it shoud have rgb led but I dont thing it shoud have rgb becouse it looks like toy from aliexpress and its have premium and luxury fell with white led. speaker is not when I connect headphones (Fiio FH1s and Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO) I think it missing little bass, good trebles but mid is not very sharp. but still sound is enaugh good for ordinary people. Battery is good. Its enaugh for one day and 33W charging is enaught to charge phone from 0-100% in one hour. And also it have 15W wireless charging and 5W revers and i think its good.

    Pros
    • Clean and smooth system
    • Really fast with everyone app
    • Mate aluminium frame have premium felling
    • Night photos are pretty bright and nice
    • Glyphs
    Cons
    • Photo are not enough sharp
    • Photo have pretty bad colors
    • Plastic felling from transparent back

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.
