A very good phone for the price

Posted: Mar 28, 2020, 8:36 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

I've had this phone for a year now and I think that this phone was well worth it's price. The main factors that make this phone good are firstly the beautiful 1080p Amoled screen with a modern look due to it's high screen to body ratio, secondly the decent performance that let's you play most games at am acceptable frame rate. The battery is not bad but it's not great. I find I can get through a normal day of usage with the medium power saving mode activated. The camera takes good photos and good videos that have been good enough for all that I've been using it for. I don't really recommend you use the wide angle camera due to its poor quality and detail. It can take very stable videos though. All in all for a person that is not necessarily a power user and that plays games casually, I recommend this device.
