  • Best performance for a mid-ranger

    I love how clean the operating system and UI is, the performance is amazing for games, it has a smooth 120hz display with deep blacks and 1300nits max, the camera is good enough for me and the night photos are oddly great.

    Tbh it's a very very good buget phone, the battery is good and ofc because it's a OnePlus the charging is very fast, the performance is top notch for this price and the screen is good.

    Nice cell phone

    I think I had a bad experience with the phone. It wouldn't charge, it took a long time to fully charge, and it also discharged quite quickly.

    I'm happy! I recommend the smartphone!

    I'm incredibly surprised that for €239 I got a fantastic phone in every way! It's fast, beautiful, and long-lasting! I couldn't find any downsides. Only OnePlus! This is my third OnePlus. Before this, I had a OnePlus 8T for over 3.5 years. And I could still go on! During that time, the front glass never broke, and the battery still lasted all day. The phone fell in water, and a vertical green line appeared on the screen, but I continued using it for another six months. I really didn't want to part with the OnePlus 8T, but my mobile operator made a great offer, so it was a good idea to upgrade to a laptop and smartphone.

    Highly recommended

    This is my first OnePlus phone, and honestly, it's amazing. I came from an X6 Pro, which was bad in terms of optimization, and I bought this one for its optimization and performance, and it far surpasses it. The battery lasts a whopping two days with moderate use. I've only been testing it for a few days, and for me, it's a 9.5 out of 10. OnePlus does a great job with their phones; highly recommended. You won't regret it, just like my uncle told me, and he mercilessly criticized me.

    More or less, a version of the Poco x7 pro

    Everything is great, except for its IP54 rating, its plastic chassis, camera, and single bottom speaker. The cameras focus terribly on shadows. The chassis is plastic but well-built, it lacks IP protection, and it doesn't say it's drop-resistant.

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.
