- "Terrible phone with a horrific UI"
I know I can’t demand too much from a phone that costs under 150 euros when I bought it, but the experience with it is absolutely horrific and ridiculous. Even though it is powered by a G99 and has 6GB of RAM, the performance still feels terrible. The connectivity is unstable, and I often miss many important notifications because of this Poco UI. The only good thing I can see is that the battery is pretty good. It can last about two days or more without recharging, but the slow charging is a downside and doesn’t seem to matter much.
Pros- Good battry
- Pretty durable when you inconsistenly dropping it
Cons- Poor screen quality
- Teribble Performance
- Lack of conectivity
- Slow charging
- There are so many bugs in the UI

View answers - It's good for social media but not really for gaming.
Ram and storage very good, camera really good in daytime but I'm gaming the phone has some annoying frame drop, for example I play Fortnite on 30 to 16 fps and 60 to 45 fps in call of duty mobile on medium graphics with filters.

Just this version of all Poco devices that I can buy for this time, it's not bad at all. Camera is decent, performance are great for online multiplayer, like Moba or battle Royale. Everything is perfect, thanks Poco.

A good phone for 2 years can handle light and medium games on minimum settings, a bad camera, no stereo sound, but for its price it was a good device, but now it is outdated

The phone worked fine for the first few months, but then it received the "HYPER OS" update. The performance is awful; it freezes so much that sometimes calls don't ring, or if you try to type something, it freezes and the keyboard doesn't appear, and then you get the "system not responding" message. I should clarify that I've never broken my phone or sent it for repair, so I don't understand why it's performing so badly. Even opening TikTok is a nightmare; it overheats, and I've already factory reset it twice, and it's still the same.

Score
- 5.8 Design & Materials
- 5.8 Performance & Hardware
- 6.5 Camera
- 6.7 Connectivity
- 6.6 Battery
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.
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.
