  • Overall good experience, I ditched MIUI and flashed a custom ROM and as of 2023 is my main phone.

  • 2019 bang for the buck budget phone

    Got it for about 112USD in a local ecommerce platform flash sale back in December 12, 2019. The performance of the processor, 3GB RAM and 32GB internal are good enough for almost all basic mobile tasks except graphic heavy mobile games. Dual sim mobile signals, dedicated microSD, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, IR, front/rear cameras, microphone, and speakers are all working OK. The wireless FM does work without headphones unlike the Redmi Note 8 which still asks for a headphone to be plugged in the 3.5mm jack. The big battery takes a while to drain so it will last a full day of moderate usage like a champ!

    Pros
    • Mostly good internal specs
    • Big battery with fast charging support
    • Type C usb
    Cons
    • No NFC
    • Splash resistant but no IP rating
    • No LED notification
    • 8.1
    • Screen7.5
    • Performance7.0
    • Camera6.7
    • Connectivity7.3
    • Battery9.0
  • One of the best daily drivers!

    Over 8h of screen on time!

    Pros
    • IPS HD+ (no burn in, power saving screen)
    • 5000 mAh battery
    Cons
    • Lack of qc3 (18w) charger in the box
    • Lack of EIS
    • Lack of 60fps video recording

    It seems like a good entry range to me

    The battery lasts a long time and is acceptable for its low cost and the performance is for the basics and nothing more because in heavy games I would not recommend it due to its Snapdragon 439 which is not powerful, if your budget is for the basics and you don't want to spend a lot money and you want a good battery, this phone is for you

    Pros
    • it is cheap
    • It is fluid for the basics
    • quality price
    • Battery
    • The price
    Cons
    • It's bad for demanding games
    • emmc storage 5.1
    • sometimes it gets slow
    • If you use multiple applications

    meets the basics

    By 2023, unfortunately, it is already a cell phone with little power and storage, the cell phone is ideal for people who only use it for social networks or basic things.

    Cons

    It was really worth it for the price I paid for it, which was R$475 at the beginning of 2020.

    The best phone I have ever had is not that difficult but it is for those who know how to take a photo it is very good the hardware also leaves nothing to be desired I do not recommend leaving more than 7 days without rebooting it because it will start to crash and the main point of it q is the battery that in the maximum text I did lasted 3 and a half days with battery saving and low brightness among other things but this is what I have to talk about, and all this with the price of 475 reais that I paid for it

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.
