  • Probably the best phone to get with masive battery right now at market.

    Great value for the price, but has a fingerprint scanner flaw

    For the price, this phone definitely exceeds my expectations. The battery lasts for 2 days, and it handles more demanding games perfectly.

    However, there is one main issue, the fingerprint scanner is located under the screen instead of on the side power button. Once you apply a tempered glass screen protector, the fingerprint reader completely stops working. Face ID saves the day, but as we all know, it’s not always bright enough for it to work properly.

    Another downside is the presence of pre-installed bloatware. The device comes with several factory-installed applications that cannot be deactivated or uninstalled, taking up unnecessary space.

    As for the camera, I can't say much because I bought this phone for standard everyday use and I hardly ever take photos. But for my basic needs—like snapping a quick picture of an ad, a flyer, or other random little things—the camera does a great job.

  • 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.

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.
