  • Best phone for 1550zł

    Very good everything you would want from the phone for learning in bus etc. Maybe a little heavy, operating system and cameras could be a little better but other than that it is almost perfect for me after quick shizuku+canta debloating.

  • Insanely good Money-Performance value.

    With such a price, this thing is more than worth it. I bought mine for 417USD and I bought it when it was restocked. There're more people who bought it cheaper than me, possibly 380+USD. Otherworldly pricing for such phone.

  • If you want gaming, this is the best phone for you at the best price.

    The cameras are ok, battery the best you can have for the processor it has! User experience is fine and with updates it can get better. Still... Out of the box it's a performance beast! gaming and entertainment are guaranteed at maximum settings.

    The best value for money in 2026

    For the price, it has everything. The only downside I notice is the cameras, although the main camera is good. It only has one additional camera, which is a wide-angle lens of average quality. Its strongest points are undoubtedly the battery life and performance. It does tend to overheat slightly if used in warm environments.

    Pros
    • Battery
    • Performance
    • Main camera
    • Building materials
    • Fast charging
    • Pretty decent speakers
    Cons
    • Quantity and quality of secondary cameras
    • Some overheating
    • Bloatware and advertising (all can be disabled)

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.
