  Easy to forget that it is a low range

  Used to smaller phones, it was big and heavy at first. But I got used to it in a couple of days and now I find it very comfortable. The screen looks great, even to be just HD +. The brightness is more than enough to see it backlit. The camera takes great photos by day, and acceptable at night. The performance is perfect on a day-to-day basis and has no problems running light games. In fact, it is better than I expected. If you don't play it, the battery lasts two days without problem. And if you spend it playing, about 20/22 hours. The only problem I found was that with very demanding (or very poorly optimized) applications that consumed a lot of RAM, it became saturated, producing some small crashes. This is because MIUI uses approximately 1Gb for its operation, and the global version only has 2Gb. It can be fixed by flashing another ROM, although it would have been better if the most basic version came with 3Gb (like the Chinese one)

  UI of the system has stopped.

  While the CPU and GPU are not powerful, they perform well in everyday use and do not show (very) lack of fluency. The main problem with this phone is the lack of RAM. It's been a while since 1Gb is not enough anymore, and here it is especially noticeable. Run (almost) any game with a 3D environment, or based on Unity brings constant and very annoying cartelazos of "X application has stopped" (special mention when what stops is the user interface, everything freezes for a few moments until that the UI be restarted). The worst thing is that, in reality, the games I tried worked decently. But the lack of RAM prevents you from playing for more than 10 minutes. The camera is not the best on the market, obviously. But it takes decent photos in good light conditions and in fact I was surprised by the amount of detail for the price range. Null updates I only received an update of the security patch (August 2018). It has not even been updated to Nougat 7.

  Pros

  • Price
  • Camera (for the price)

  Cons

  • RAM
  • Internal memory
  • Updates
