    Fair but concise

    It's a good phone, actually. It's perfect for everyday tasks like journaling, reading the news, and emulating Steam games with Proton. I'd say it's very good at emulating games like Hollow Knight. However, I do miss having a USB 3.1 port with video output. The eSIM and battery life could be better. But for the price, it's pretty good for most average users. I wasn't disappointed at all.

    One of the best mid-range

    The experience you get from the moment you open the box is very different from other phones. It has good quality hardware for its price, but what stands out most about this phone are the following two things: 1. Design: It is a unique design composed of electronic circuits that, together with the Glyph lights, make it one of the most beautiful phones on the market (In my opinion). 2. The software: It is wonderful to open the phone for the first time and see that there are only the minimum and necessary apps, without the junk apps that Redmi phones usually have. POCO... Super customizable with different widgets from NOTHING itself. In short: Clean, practical, and simple. The only bad thing that happened to me was when copying files from my old Samsung. My photos got all messed up and no longer appear in the "photos" section. The camera for me is more than enough, which is why I gave it a 9, but I would not recommend it for someone who uses it a lot. Good job, NOTHING.

    Pros
    • Hardware
    • Software
    • Update Policy
    Cons
    • Charger not included (Cable only)
    • Disorder when passing photos
    • Absence of mini Jack (But it happens in almost all of them)

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.
