Let me sum it up for you
Kimovil users find it an attractive phone with a good quality-price ratio for basic use. However, there's a widespread feeling of disappointment with its performance, which many consider slow and prone to overheating, especially with games or multitasking. The HyperOS experience also generates mixed opinions.
