    Almost the only decent choice with a removable battery and constant updates

    It is one of the few phones with a removable and easily replaceable battery. In addition, the brand is attentive to environmental and ethical issues (such as recycled materials, from non-conflict sources, adequate wages for workers...) and the company is based in Europe. The phone is therefore designed to be repaired even by yourself with the components available in the store of the official website. Updates for now have proven to be constant every month, unlike the previous model of the company FP4 and on the site the ROM is available for each update. Support for updates lasts until 2031. The battery despite being less than 5000 mah present in my previous phone for now seems to last longer, perhaps for a better software optimization or simply due to the wear of the previous battery.

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.
