    It's good for a specific audience; don't buy it to play games.

    It's a good phone if you're looking for something affordable; it's not the best for gaming, but it's fine for everyday use.

    Despite having it for over a year, its battery hasn't degraded excessively, its 50-megapixel rear camera takes very sharp and beautiful photos, its internet connection is exceptional—it has never failed me to connect to mobile data or a WiFi network. I've dropped it many times, and it never broke or scratched. Overall, it fulfills its purpose if you're an average user who isn't looking for a super powerful device; it's suitable for social media and the occasional moderately demanding game.

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.
