Literally died in two weeks

I'll tell you about the phone BEFORE it died prematurely: it's heavy, heavier than other phones for sure. It doesn't seem like much at first, but once you use the phone with one hand you'll notice. Dual 3000mAh batteries charge quickly and last a long time. The phone's speakers sound great. Probably the best sound I've heard from a smartphone I've ever owned. It has two USB-C charging ports, one on the bottom and one on the side when playing games. There is a manga on the box that you use to scan with your phone's camera, which is a really cool animation trick. What I didn't like: It gets HOT after playing for a while. For this reason, the more expensive versions come with a fan attachment. I never play long enough to warm up, but if you play long enough it can be difficult to keep up. There is no SD card slot. I'm not a hardcore user to understand the benefit of dual SIM card slots. I would like to take a bar with a slot for an SD card. Died. I only had it for two weeks. I didn't drop it, it had a protective film on it and I used the protective case that came with it. I charged it before bed, unplugged it and went to sleep. The next morning I took it off the table and it wouldn't turn on. I've tried forcing restart keys to no avail. I don't know why he decided to stop tuning in. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with it. I was also a bummer for taking photos and videos in Hawaii before he died. I'm just sending it back. I will update my pending verification results.

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
