  • Calidad precio rendimiento

    Lo que puedo decir en resumen es que este teléfono es perfectamente bien a las personas que ondan que buscan un buen rendimiento y batería en lo que sería foto este teléfono no lo recomiendo mucho yéndose a muchos modelos pero si a ti no te importa eso este teléfono es muy ideal lo que puedo decirte que este teléfono en lo que yo le he encontrado como malo es su resistencia ya que él te puede aguantar resistencias muy grande pero lo que sería resistencias leve este no va a aguantar nada ya que por su material de que es muy sensible a los tacos a los golpes y te va a salir este como marcado y mucho en el tema del calentamiento pero esto se debería más a tu zona de donde vives porque en mi caso donde vivo en zonas calurosa el teléfono este se calienta mucho la verdad pero en el tema de potencia nunca me ha dado este ningún fallo entonces en mi opinión si lo quieres para jugar cómprate un cooler

  • A powerful smartphone with a good price.

    I like this smartphone so much, but sometimes you only get around 90-120 fps in PUBG. It's not always like this; you just need to restart your phone to fix it. The temperature can burn your fingers just when you play demanding games, but the cooling system does a good job. When you close the game, the cooling system reduces the temperature very fast, so don't worry.

  • 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.

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.
