    It is a good phone if what you want is a quality price but there are things in which it fails

    The design is modern and I like that. I've been using it for more than a year and the only problem I've found is that the power button broke but it doesn't work. The camera... why talk about it, it's a disappointment

    Pros
    • Power
    • Efficient processor
    • Good battery
    • Resistant to many shocks
    • And an android version enough for me to think
    Cons
    • Camera disappointment
    • Tends to break down faster in corners
    • In detail above it is hollow and has nothing
    • The buttons fall off
    • The screen comes off

    Good budget for your money

    Bought over a year ago, looks good. But here is the Chinese no-nek processor, because of this, I, as a person who cannot live without root and custom firmware, did not like the fact that the bootloader cannot be unlocked

    A good experience being a gamer

    I played heavy games like Genshin impact and it supported it without problems even in ultra graphics it was very good in power and its cameras were not its strong point but it did what it could besides being a very resistant phone it fell from high places without protections and nothing else I had a few scratches and once the power button was damaged but nothing else, a problem to highlight are the bugs that I had, sometimes I got stuck in some apps

    Pros
    • remarkable power
    • Good 5000mah battery
    • Good sound
    • Extensive connectivity
    • high resistance
    • 1080p display
    Cons
    • 10W slow charge
    • bad night photos
    • Bugs by your OS
    • High temperatures of 50 degrees or more
    • few updates

    Good device for the price

    The design is not bad. It has withstood several falls, only the buttons were damaged because of it. The camera in the day and with good lighting would be a 7/10, at night if it is quite bad if you do not have good lighting, I expected a little more. I have had no problems playing and the battery lasts a day and a few more hours depending on use.

    Pros
    • Battery
    • good to play

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.
