  • best phone for 130$ (second-hand)

    if you can find a second-hand model, i definately recommen you to buy it, its a steal for the price. but there is one thing that bothers me, its the camera quality, but man if you dont care about taking good photos, just take it. snapdragon 870, 120hz amoled screen, great for budget mobile gaming. also, this device have many custom rom/os for you to try and find what you like best

    Pros
    • cheap price
    • great p/p
    Cons
    • low camera quality

  • Pretty dang good

    There's only a few kinks. For one, I wish MIUI chose which process to kill to save on battery a bit better than it currently does. It took a while to get Snapchat notifications to show as a result of that. Secondly, the navbar buttons could use a bit more adjustment than MIUI allows. Lastly, and this is the biggest issue, MIUI on the China releases of phones doesn't allow you to change the launcher to anything other than what Xiaomi approves of. So you're basically stuck with either the Poco launcher or the stock launcher. I couldn't find out any way to get the Google news feed on either of them so that was a bit of a shame. Other than those kinks the phone is great.

    Pros
    • Display
    • Performance
    • Battery life
    • Charging speed
    Cons
    • A few things with MIUI (that can somewhat be solved by getting the Poco F3, the global version of this)

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.
