It has a nice, premium look, water resistant and has a very good build quality. Battery performance is avarage.
But, it's very laggy and sometimes intolerably slow! You have to wait 3-5 seconds for a simple "share" option to appear, or make a call! Espacially, when you unlock the phone, you have to wait seconds to do any operation!
It's a nice box with weak hardware! I do not recommend!- 2.8

Report an ErrorScore
- 6.2 Design & Materials
- 5.8 Performance & Hardware
- 6.5 Camera
- 7.7 Connectivity
- 5.6 Battery
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.
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.
