    Acceptable power, pitiful battery.

    Before my current Ulefone Armor 10, I got this one for only 105 euros (used), and until then it was the best in performance. The SD835 had good power (260,000, don't expect to play PS2 without hindrance, but it works well, it works well), minimal memories, but acceptable if you don't want to use it more than for the basics (4/64 expandable up to 256), excellent sound Dual, also, one of its best qualities, Jack 3.5, good cameras... But in addition to the bloatware (almost everything could be removed, only one could not be removed), its worst asset was that infamous 2800 Mah battery that forced me to to recharge up to four times in the same day. A pity, because I liked this phone a lot. My brother currently has it and it's still going well. Sony did a good job here.

    Pros
    • Premium sound.
    • Good performance..
    • Good cameras.
    • Jack 3.5, almost lost.
    • Light and comfortable.
    • Good quality IPS screen
    Cons
    • Those frames on the screen...
    • Few OS updates.
    • Dirty battery.
    • Bloatware.
    • Good screen, bad in the sun.
    • Intuitive layer, but somewhat intrusive.

    An excellent device.

    A very tenacious device. In use since the end of 2018. Survived a hard fall on the asphalt, screen replacement, careless use. It still works flawlessly, there is no throttling, the battery is 94%, the sound is normal. Modern toys pulls, does not slow down. Most posh phone I've owned (out of fifteen or more).

    Fantastic phone even after 2 years

    Very resistant and over time it is always very fast! Battery that inevitably dropped a little but still decent.

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.
