  • A rather good phone in terms of build quality, but it does require a reset every 2 months or so.

    The phone served me rather well, short battery aside. However it should not be overloaded with apps, it ends up requiring a hard reset every 2 months. It is 256Gb TF card compatible, yet it does lag when downloading on it. Built in file manager is not the best around, because it doesn't make it easy to move files around. Snapdragon CPU makes it fairly fast, although it does have some issues running 2 SIM cards on 4G data connection. To be honest I purchased it pre-owned, for about €80, and I would't pay more than €150 for a brand new one, considering there are better devices out there for about €200.

    A great medium range for lovers of photography

    A very good mobile mid-range Chinese, with its pros and cons but with a great value for money, and unlike many Chinese, it stands out for its multimedia sections (camera, screen, audio) over a more powerful hardware. It has a correct mid-range hardware, SD 615, 2/16 is not nothing special but it was typical in those ranges in its day. Its screen is of quite quality, bright colors, good brightness, etc. Its audio is also heard with quality and loudly by speakers and also by headphones. If for something particular highlights that mobile is for its high level of camera, has a collection of very complete apps dedicated to the camera, with many options, and a fairly complete manual mode. Take a good sensor, (the same as the famous LG G4) and good optics, gives very good results especially day (night costs more and you have to throw the manual mode) Highly recommended for anyone who wants a very good camera a good pre

    • Value for money

    A good phone, but the quality is not very good.

    A side frame bursts near the volume buttons with a SIM card slot. A very delicate SIM card slot, it's better not to clip the cropped ones, bends the contacts and stops seeing the sim card. A year later the battery swelled.

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
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.
