  • Good camera, small battery

    Overall:
    The phone works almost perfectly after 2 years, many drops and one bath in te pool (it is not water resistant)
    Battery:
    After 2 years of every day intensive use, (using spotify and radio 3-4 h/day, minigames 1h/day and social media) the battery does not last the whole day anymore. I need to charge it at least 50% during the day.
    One of the updates 1 year ago extended the battery day life remarkably
    Fingerprint:
    The finger print sensor is super fast(much much better than Z3 compact and iphone 6)
    Camera:
    Pictures at 23MP works very well the first day. After one year it is not so fast to take a 23MP picture (half second). Good quality in 23MP but the best ratio quality/size is 8MP. You’ll take very good quality pictures and very fast with a reasonable size.

    Pros
    • Fingerprint sensor
    • 8MP pics
    • Overall phone
    Cons
    • Battery
    • 20MP pics

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.
