- AutoDecent for the price you pay
Well, I've been using this phone for exactly 8 months and 3 days now, and I can say it's worth it. It has a nice design, beautiful screen colors, and a very decent camera for the price. I've only noticed occasional lag in Free Fire, even on the highest settings with everything turned on. It lags a bit; it's not unplayable, but it's not very smooth. Other, more demanding games might run on this phone, but sometimes with low or medium graphics settings. Aside from that, for everyday use like social media and watching videos, everything runs very smoothly. I'm not sure if this only happens with my device, but sometimes apps like TikTok and Didi close on their own, and I get a message saying the app is crashing. I reopen them, and everything is fine. I don't know if this only happens with mine or if it happens to others too. As for the screen, it has beautiful colors since it's an AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the audio quality is very good, as is the speed. The charging speed is good; if you activate turbo charging, it charges in about 45 minutes.The only problem I had was that I had to get the charging port fixed because it wouldn't charge my phone anymore. I mean, when I plugged it in, it would just stay loose. So now I have a different charging port on this phone, which is a generic brand, because it takes about 4 hours to charge after they fixed it, haha. Oh well, what else can I do? I know it's a long time to charge, but you get used to it over time. This phone also comes with an AI called Ella, which, to be honest, is very basic. You can't do much with it, so I disabled it and use a different AI. Finally, I'll tell you about the photo quality, which is decent, not great, not bad, just okay for the price. The rear camera is 50MP and the front camera is 32MP.
Pros- 120Hz AMOLED display
- Decent photo quality
- It features Dotby Atmos sound.
- Nice design
- Good drop resistance
Cons- It can sometimes freeze up in some demanding games.
- Cases for this phone are almost impossible to find.
- Its AI is rather basic.
- The camera sometimes freezes when taking photos quickly
- The THEMES app doesn't have much variety
- Missing 3.5 mm headphone jack

View answers - AutoGood specifications for its price range, poor customization layer.
I'm coming from using a Redmi Note 8 with a custom ROM. The only thing I miss is that the system has too much bloatware and telemetry. I had to install the usual trio (Shizuku, Canta, and personalDNSfilter) to have a cleaner overall experience. I often use Chatgpt for some queries, but the AI on this phone is full of telemetry data, so I prefer not to use it. During the debloat process, I was able to disable 102 apps and also had to restrict access to certain URLs due to the telemetry. I know it's commonplace with "budget" phones; I got this one for $170 USD and I think that policy should improve. We're not the European Union, but come on, they're really going overboard with Latin America. The system has several battery-saving options; I let it charge to 85% and then let it drain to 10% or 3%. It's a shame it can't disable Bluetooth or NFC when not in use to prevent battery drain, something it does do when you create a Wi-Fi hotspot and it's not being used. Regarding the specifications, it's practically a Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G/Poco M6 Pro 4G. The main differences are the cameras and the charging speed. The Mi Note 40 uses the IMX 896, not the Lytia 700C they're trying to sell you. This IMX 896 is generally superior to the Isocell HP3 camera in the 13 Pro 4G. I'm not sure if it surpasses the Poco's 64MP Omnivision camera. In some challenging areas, the IMX 896 exhibits ghosting. Why? I don't know. EDIT: The hardware name for the 700C is IMX 896, my mistake. The ghosting is caused by the ISP; it's not very efficient due to the processor's power.
Overall, it's a good phone for everyday use, some casual gaming (I play on low settings with anti-aliasing at 30 FPS) and it handles them well, so far on Bloodstrike, I haven't played any other games.Pros- AMOLED screen
- NFC works correctly.
- Sony IMX 896
- 5100 MH actual battery
- Record video in 2K (I don't remember if it allows OIS)
- Infrared Sensor
Cons- Bloatware and EXCESSIVE telemetry
- HiOS 15 DOES NOT HAVE an app size reduction setting
- AI functions filled with telemetry
- It does not record at 60 FPS with the IMX 896
- It does not have a 3.5 mm jack

Score
no Ki
- 7.0 Design & Materials
- 6.6 Performance & Hardware
- 7.4 Camera
- 7.1 Connectivity
- 7.2 Battery
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.
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.
