Customer Review
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2024
Just to start off with, the glyphs (lights on the back are 100% gimic feature) however the design of the phone because of the glyph layout and transparent back is very very awesome and stands out amongst any other phone out there.
Performance
I've never had any performance issues with this phone at all.. No lag, no crashes a very solid performing phone.
Battery
I like to think I am quite a heavy user of my phone on a working day. My job requires me to take allot of photos every day and generally using my phone for calls and games, the battery usually lasts me a whole day from 6am until 11pm before it goes on charge again.
OS
Downloaded Nova Launcher, I thought I'd be a fan of the nothing widgets and general text font etc.. Turns out I was wrong. Launcher works smooth, no crashes or issues.
Camera
My job requires me to take many photos of vehicles in the same environments every day and I can say the camera on this phone is..
In clear blue skies at midday with the sun shining brings out excellent photos and with portrait mode you can get some fantastic photos.
When the light disappears in the evening or morning it's a real mixed bag of results.. Under exposed. Over exposed. Camera shutter lag leading to blurry photos. Even when turning night mode off it still suffers from this.
So.. Overall the camera is still very usable if you're generally in well lit environments and the 2x optical zoom is handy.
A feature the phone currently doesn't have it dual recording ( front and rear at the same time)
No nothing phone gallery.. Is non existent and entirely relies on Google Photos. I'm not a fan of this and would like a gallery on my phone as I don't want all my photos uploaded to the cloud especially after a long day at work then having to go and delete them from the cloud.
Display
The display is very crisp and smooth with the 120hz refresh rate which I always leave on. Good colours and vibrancy however the screen brightness can be a bit low at times when outside but overall a good performing display.
You essentially get what you pay for with tech these days but at the medium/high budget range of this phone for just over 600 you're getting some very good hardware and a good looking phone. Once I put a nice transparent spigen case on and downloaded nova launcher my experience was changed and I'll most probably keep this phone for a few years before even considering upgrading.
If you're considering this I'd say also consider what OnePlus has available at the time of reading this.
