  • Bad phone.

    The software is really not smooth, it lags very much. The phone crashes everytime I try to play a game and the performance is terrible. The cameras are mid. The amount of pixels are bad and the body scratches and dents too easily. But given the price, I can't complain much.

  • enough for calls, and nothing else.

    could barely run instagram, or about anything even setting was really laggy. Still, that amoled screen is quite good, with 120hz even if android dont run past maybe 30 fps... Great charging and battery too

    Pros
    • Design
    • Great 120hz Amoled
    • Battery life, 33W charging
    Cons
    • Performance (even for this price)

  • Bon téléphone pour le prix mais pas plus de 150 € (pour la version 4 Go)

    En utilisation quotidienne le téléphone va être bien mais dès qu'on va venir lui en demander un peu plus il va commencer à bugger un petit peu par contre son écran est vraiment très agréable à l'utilisation et même en plein soleil la luminosité est très correcte (il met la plupart des iPhone en PLS) et puis ça changera plus et très rapide parce que ça donne pas forcément envie le 0 à 100 en 1h05 sauf que le 0 à 50 se fait en moins de 25 minutes pratique dans les moments d'urgence

    Mon avis après avoir quitté ce téléphone quelques mois plus tard : à cause des nouvelles mises à jour et de l'optimisation hyper core absente sur ce modèle il est devenu quasiment inutilisable avec une fluidité absente et des performances en gaming qui ne sont pas super mais qui n'ont pas régressé pour autant contrairement à la fluidité générale du téléphone qui est devenu catastrophique après cette mise à jour

    Pros
    • Appareil photo
    • Design
    • Charge rapide
    • Écran
    • Luminosité (haut/faible)
    • Empreinte digitale rapide
    Cons

  • VERY BAD PHONE. DONT BUY

    Even if you dont have budget to buy better. SAVE UP FOR BETTER ONE. This is jsut waste of space. waste of money. waste of engineering adn mind. Camera takes horrible photos its all blurry shaky grains you name it. Its the front and hohoho never will i use the selfie camera. It was worst 150 is pent on. I mean yeah it has 120 hz and pretty decent screen adn thats it. Camera holded up decent for about 2 months it usually holded for around entire day now it hardly holds 4 hours even tho i guarded it. The eprformance is it cant handle simple games liek roblox. I play cod mobile afte r10 minutes you feel warm and then the shutters happen. The video quality got negative satbilization and i use 7 years old iphone it takes two times better photos and video than this. DONT RECOMEND

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.
