So far so good Just got this phone and s t it up. I really liked that it comes with an initial case and a screen protector, though I was annoyed that the screen protector already had some dust as I was taking it off to put on it. I’ll have to get a replacement after having it for only a few hours. The phone is beautiful, and I like that it looks like an iPhone but runs as an android (thank God). Overall it was a good purchase for a great price. I’ll be writing an updat in about 6 months to see how it continues to handle.
Not compatible with Xfinity, Verizon, or AT&T I ordered this for a spare phone for my wife and I if our phones ever need repair. I’m very disappointed that it’s not compatible with Xfinity wireless which uses the Verizon network. I checked that by entering the IMEI number into both the Xfinity and Verizon websites and both said that it’s not compatible. It says in the description that it’s not compatible with AT&T either. I guess that only leaves T-Mobile.I’ll list the pros and cons to make it easy.Pros:It’s a decent looking phone. The screen is very bright and you can see it outside in broad daylight. It comes with a changing brick and cable. It also comes with a clear case which is a nice plus. I like that the one button above the volume controls can be customized to do whatever you want. It’s a pretty clean install of Android with very little boat. The phone itself has a nice build quality. The fingerprint reader is built into the power button. I personally like that design. It’s works great and never failed to unlock the phone. I didn’t try the facial recognition unlock but it does have that.Cons:The biggest is one that I already addressed. It’s not compatible with most major US carriers. The low light pictures are grainy and dim when compared to my Z Flip 5. The cameras are average at best. I guess for the price the camera and performance is not bad but it’s not flagship quality. For someone who is used to using a low to mid range device it’s not bad. The charging is slow. No matter which charger I used it said slow charging. I tried the enclosed charger as well as a 45w and 65w charger. All said slow charging. It is also NOT wireless charging compatible. It comes with Android 13 and the update schedule is anyone’s guess. Who knows if you’ll ever see Android 14 or any security patches.Overall it’s ok for the money but not great. To be fair I am comparing this to my Z Flip 5 which is considered a flagship device. The biggest issue is that you can’t use it on most networks. That’s the deal killer.
Really Nice Unlocked Android Smartphone I’ve only been using this for a few days and so far so good! Really well made Android smartphone with no bloatware and only the essential software and apps installed so you can customize the phone the way you want it. Its unlocked across all platforms and carriers and supports GSM & CDMA networks. This phone does NOT come with a SIM card so you need to do that yourself and you can choose any carrier you want. The phone, imo, is a flagship level phone with 256GB of ROM, a 32MP front camera , two 50MP rear cameras, a 5450mAh battery (one of the largest in the industry), NFC enabled, and a 6.78″ FHD display. These are some of the best specs in the industry and it shows in the overall performance and feedback once you get it dialed in with a carrier. Also comes with a flexible silicone protective case and a Corning Gorilla Glass screen protector that screams high quality that’s pretty much the Android equivalent to Apple’s iPhone. I am super stoked to have gotten this phone and will update here as needed.
