Likes
What I like about this phone, is the
- Camera :
- The Camera was good enough to take daily photos and pictures. I tried to compare this phone with my other smartphone Moto X style it has 21 Megapixel but the color, saturation, and correct images after processing I think this phone is much better no matter both phone shoot 4K video with 30frame per second. I could see the quality of the images after processing. The image stabilization was not bad at all even this phone doesn't have that feature.
- Design, and look of the phone:
- The design of this phone was one of my favorites. It is Unique and The Apple company decided to make another device which looks Similar design to iPhone 5, 5s. It has an Aluminum metal body at the back it got some glass layer at the top and at the bottom of the phone. The phone was small but not so bad for a small hand like mine.
- Performance: I can see the performance of this phone it was really good. I can still play Fortnite, Pubg, and much high-end game.
- Software and Hardware: The software was really smooth because Apple iOS Software they really optimized the use of background app not like the Android app they keep in running at the background. This helps my phone to save more battery.
Dislikes
What I dislike about this phone is
1. The Display Size: The phone has 4" Displays size. It is an IPS Display and It's really small I can't see properly with this device sometimes.
2. The Speaker: The sound was too small I can't hear anything. There is No stereo speaker.
3. No Fast charging: If you are in a hurry to go somewhere else and need your phone battery to charge within 30 minutes or less you should not consider this phone to be the best. It is not that slow to charge but it takes more than 30 minutes to get charged.
4. Fingerprint: The fingerprint Reader was too slow to detect my thumb.
5. SIM card: There is only one SIM tray on this phone you cannot have two SIM card at the same time.
6. No External Card: You cannot extend your phone storage.
Suggestions
My suggestion, You can use this phone to carry around to take pictures and photos since this phone has a good camera quality. I used this phone to carry around so easy it fits in my small pocket. I can just take out of my pocket and start snapping some photos and pictures with this device. It is not that slow in taking pictures just long press the shooter button it will take more than one pictures at the time. Another good reason to buy this phone is the Battery, At the time I bought this phone, the battery was so good I've had no issued about the battery and it last more than 10-hours a day with full use. I never worried about battery life. Another reason if you think about the build quality. This phone is good enough for you. You don't have to worry about the hardware, except because of its display it's too small. Yes, there is some issue with the display example, you cannot type or text message faster as you did with a bigger display smartphone.
If you are a gamer this phone is not for you. I think you need a much bigger phone like iPhone 6S or above to fits your performance and feels in your hand. That's is all.
