      Good phone when it released, with good support for GearVR... but runs very hot when you use demanding applications

      Pros
      • Performance
      • Proper GearVR support
      Cons
      • Runs very hot
      • Not great cameras

      • Connectivity6.0
      • Battery5.0
    • An OK mid-level smartphone

      Finally broke for me, after almost 7 years of use.

      I had it fall out of my hands at least a dozen of times, with no damage other than a few small dents on the frame.

      When either charging or playing a game, it gets hot very quickly, to the point where holding it gets uncomfortable. It would actually forcefully turn itself off 2 times, leaving several noticeable burn-ins on the screen.

      The exynos chipset that it houses is comically bad and completely drains the battery in 3 hours.

      Pros
      • Almost perfect size
      • Awesome QHD 580 PPI display
      • Pretty powerful on release
      • A lot of cool features like SpO2 sensor and such
      • Sturdy build
      • Physical home button + 2 capacitive buttons
      Cons
      • AWFUL battery life that only gets worse with time
      • Exynos CPU
      • Very much obsolete hardware-wise
      • Considerable overheating issues

    Ki Cost-effective
    Score

    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.
