    It was good at first, but over time it became worse than a 2020 Galaxy; it froze on everything, even social media.

    It's good for casual like Roblox and social media.

    It is perfect for casual games and social networks but do not treat it as if it were a high-end device because it does get stuck and when I downloaded heavy games it would get hot and get stuck even though its battery and connectivity were perfect.

    Pros
    • I was doing well on social media
    • Good screen quality
    • Good shock resistance
    • Good sound quality
    • Its design
    • Good connectivity
    Cons
    • It gets hot in demanding games
    • Poor quality selfie camera
    • The screen could not be seen well in the sun.

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.
