- For the money, if you care about performance (and longevity), it is simply the best (and most balanced) choice.
- The only downside is that for this price, you can find phones with better cameras (not by much), BUT you will lose the golden combo of cpu+ram+ssd+battery that this phone has (no other phone in this price range can match it).
- The box does not include a charger or a case, only a type-c cable and a pre-installed screen protector (make sure to replace it as soon as possible with a tempered glass).
⫸ Quick Review----------------------------------------------------------- (also check gsmarena, notebookcheck, videos on ytb, etc.)
- The battery lasts about 2 days with light use, and 1.5 days with normal to demanding use (if it was charged to 100%, otherwise 1 day). Amazing stereo speakers, very good highs, clear, and decent bass! Volume is really good. The screen is bright and clear, with excellent colors. The cameras for the price of the phone are very respectable, and the 4k 60fps video HAS good stabilization. It does not disappoint at night; check video reviews with samples for a complete opinion. The build quality is exemplary, a solid metal phone!
⫸ Tips------------------------------------------------------------------------
- TIP: Due to its large battery life, I recommend setting it to charge up to 80% and using a regular charger, NOT a fast charger, so the battery can maintain its health for many years (and when it wears out, set it to charge back up to 100%). Also, set the phone to automatically turn off once a week, as when it charges while off, the 80% charging limit does NOT apply.
- TIP 2: Before you start setting up the phone, FIRST do all the software updates; it's a new phone, and this might save you from some instabilities (I didn’t find any).
- TIP 3: Turn off 5g; 99% of the time, the speeds of 4g+ will suffice (considering that the 5g networks in Greece are quite mediocre), and at the same time, you will save quite a bit of battery. Also, if you can keep the phone at 60hz and it doesn’t bother you, keep it at 60hz, 1080p; this will also benefit battery life. Finally, prefer dark mode (due to oled, the pixels turn off on black) and turn off Always On Display; these will also help.
