It'll only take a minute, you'll help people decide.
Let me sum it up for you
Kimovil users consider it a balanced phone and a good option for its price, especially if found under 200 euros. However, there's a bittersweet sentiment, as some report it ages poorly and its performance becomes disappointing over time.

- AutoTerrible, NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL
I agree with Alfredo. I've always used Xiaomi, but after this one, I think I'm going to switch brands. Jazztel sold it to me as part of a promotion, and it arrived with a faulty motherboard; it had to be repaired even though it was brand new. Right now, I couldn't even say what it does well. I haven't even finished paying for it, and I'm already thinking about getting another one with better specs. When I do any kind of operation with multiple screens, it doesn't handle it well, and often I have to use another device at the same time to be able to work normally. It's very slow to open apps; frankly, I don't recommend it. TERRIBLE.

I've had this smartphone for over a year, and despite all the updates, performance is truly disappointing. It often stalls, and you have to wait a few seconds before it responds again. Very disappointed, don't buy.

I've had it for 2 years. For simple use it does its job. Its strong point is the processor. The rest is just tolerable. For social, music, movies, calls and wifi I recommend it, but without other requirements. Now the battery runs out very quickly and the phone often freezes and needs to be restarted to get going again.
Pros- Processor
- Simple to use
- Plan
Cons- Battery
- It sticks quite well.
