  • It is a good phone

    Advantage:
    -Play heavy games very well
    -Average temperature when playing games
    -The battery is very strong + And the charger is very fast, about 55 minutes to fully charge the battery.
    Disadvantages:
    -It's a Chinese phone so it's very slow to receive notifications from non-Chinese apps. Sometimes it doesn't receive notifications and you have to go into the app for the notification to appear.

    +insane performance for the price, a true flagship killer
    + really good and bright display,144hz hdr10+
    + Battery lasts more than a day
    + Charges fast, doesn't demand a special fast charger
    + Origin os 4 was a plesent surprise. May be one of the best softwares for Android phones
    - good microphone, speakers etc

    - Doesn't cover every 4g and 5g band
    - Good camera for the price does the job but not something special

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.
