    It's fatal. My brother bought the same phone and the screen was damaged by a small stone.

    Everything is terrible, don't buy this phone, it's better to buy the Poco M6 Pro because they have the same price.

    Pros
    • Only the battery
    Cons
    • Everything but the battery

    A VERY LOW-END CELL PHONE I HAVE HAD FOR 3 YEARS AND MY EXPERIENCE IS THE WORST!

    The ram is 2 gigabytes so it only works for calls and whatsapp, then tiktok don't even think about installing it, 1. GAMING ... in minecraft if it is with normal quality 20 fps and with jerks of 1 fps and if you put mods with lows at 30 with jerks of 1 fps and highs at 10 fps with jerks and so on in other basic games, it also has no updates, old operating system and no updates only patches ... also from the factory it comes with random touches ... it also breaks for nothing, I do not recommend it to anyone who wants a good cell phone, go for the samsung a05 or redmi a3, but if you are not even demanding it is for you!

    • bad from factory

    Not good

    This smartphone is rubbish, it even crashes on the calculator and not even a heavy game runs, 2gb of ram and 32gb of storage and still with this processor, very bad, it's worth saving more and getting a redmi note for example, but the screen is resistant

    • Resistant screen

    Bad performance

    The phone has a processor that is already very old and is useful for very basic things like making calls or sending messages, but when it comes to watching Tik Tok it sticks too much, very bad experience, not recommended for its processor

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.
