So good
Phone owned for less than 3 months

I have it for about a month now, It's a great phone, I love it , It becomes my favourite phone ❤️
One of the best phones I ever used, especially with its reasonable price.
Beside that, it's good with games and the battery is surprisingly great, with Asphalt 9 it's awesome and I can play PUBG for more than 4 hours before it reach 15 %.
About the fingerprint sensor, it is working perfectly, you just need to add it correctly.

Surprised & Happy
Phone owned for less than a month

Purchased on sale from BestBuy and with all the updates and Android 10, this phone is better for me than what my iPhone 11 was. Camera is easy and fun to use and the phone itself is a head turner! The design is unlike any other, one a bit smaller than the Xperia 1 but just as amazing.
