  My first phone, I loved it! But bad by my new standards

  This was my first phone. I might be biased because I love it so much. It's laggy as all hell, it has no flash, the camera is horrible, and it has a 480p screen that I can't see in the daytime, but it was my first experience with a computer I could hold in my hand.
  Back then the screen wasn't really an issue so much as it was a standard. It was Usable.
  Same with the camera, it was Usable. No flash either, but it's $100 and from 2016, give it a break!
  Processor worked back then, but now it takes over 30 seconds to load an app.
  Basically, Don't get this phone. The specs are terrible. But the nostalgia of my first phone means I can't resist it's cute plastic frame.

  Pros

  • It has a front camera?
  • LED notifications I think
  • Ok sound because front firing speakers
  • The battery lasts well
  • It's so cute!
  • Teaches patience

  Cons

  • Literally everything
  • Screen, photo quality, no flash
  • Snapdragon 410
  • USB micro no fast charge
  • It's tiny

  • 7.5
  • Screen5.7
  • Performance4.3
  • Camera2.5
  • Connectivity7.0
  • Battery9.0

  The best feature is the pretty glass back

  In 2019 you can get much better phones for this price. See UMIDIGI f2 and UMIDIGI Power instead.
  I got this phone about a year ago, it had the best specs for it's price at the time. The p23 wasn't good demanding games, but it was surprisingly smooth when doing social media, 2d games, etc. The GPU just wasn't great.
  I used it for about six months, then one day it fell out of my pocket when I was sitting down. The screen cracked even though the phone only fell like two feet! A few months later the entire screen came out of the frame and I got a new phone.
  White using the phone, I also noticed that the dual Camera system is fake. I tried covering the bottom lense in bokeh mode and the phone didn't tell me to stop. Taking photos in bokeh and regular mode made the same image. The camera sucks at night, too.
  The phone is good if you discount the camera. The big screen is nice and the processor is good. Screen is bright. But since mine broke and the camera is fake, I would recommend it.

  Pros

  • Big, bright, pretty screen
  • 2d applications run smooth
  • Good looking
  • No bloatware
  • Battery lasts just over 1 day
  • USB C, LED notifications

  Cons

  • Fake dual cameras
  • Photos are just terrible
  • Big bezels on bottom and sides
  • Breaks easily
  • Android 8, no updates
  • Bad GPU

  • 3.8
  • Screen6.0
  • Performance6.3
  • Camera5.5
  • Connectivity7.5
  • Battery9.0

  The best USA compatible mobile under $130 USD! (as of July 2019).

  Design- Plastic back, but it has a nice finish. The screen is amazing at 1080p 60 fps. It gets bright and has awesome screen-to-body ratio!! Comes with flexible case.
  
  Performance- Helio p35 chipset, I did research and it performs the best for its price. 4GB of RAM + about 3.5GB available memory (a lot). 5150mAh battery RELIABLY lasts 2 days with WiFi, Bluetooth, and LTE with about 10% battery left! With battery saver it might work for 3 days. Comes with 18W fast charger.
  
  Camera- Great value for money. REAL DUAL CAMERAS! (it has bokeh mode and tells you if the sensor is blocked). Crisp and colorful daytime photos. I haven't tried it out at night but indoor photos are awesome as well. Selfies are great and it has LED flash.
  
  Software- Stock Android 9.0. Sadly, UMIDIGI probably won't upgrade it to Android 10 Q. Security patches will occur for a year or so.
  
  Features- Fingerprint sensor works well. NFC, USB Type C, AUDIO PORT, loud and quality speaker, Dual SIM, or 1 SIM and SD.

  Pros

  • 6.3" 1080p screen 60fps
  • Dual camera setup won't let you down
  • Helio P35 + 4GB RAM
  • 5150mAh battery with 18-watt charging
  • Android 9.0 without the bloatware
  • Fingerprint sensor, NFC, and audio port don't hurt

  Cons

  • Low chance of Android 10 update
  • Stock camera app glitchy (can install another)
  • Helio P35 might not have source code
  • No LED notifications (I don't use that anyway)

  • 9.2
  • Screen8.5
  • Performance8.6
  • Camera8.7
  • Connectivity10
  • Battery10
