Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, 128GB in Cloud Pink for GSM carriers by Iyaant Mahameru ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are deviations, generally tolerable.

There is an issue with the fingerprint reader. In other words, the success rate is only 15%-30%. Even if you try to use an other form of protection, like a face scan, you will likely still need to enter a code. The phone is extremely slippery, making it difficult to hold without a case. Maybe this is a good thing, since it seems to have been made with a case in mind. When protected by an official leather case, the phone fits perfectly, the camera doesn't protrude, you get a good, firm grip, the overheating issue is barely perceptible, and the device's overall size isn't altered much. The phone gets so hot it can burn a person's hand if they hold it for too long. There is a real fear that mechanical harm could occur in bright sunlight. We're not talking about playing games here; just normal internet activities like looking around and switching tabs. The NFC chip is hidden away in the phone's middle, which causes frequent payment issues; MI6 could be hooked in any way and everything would be fine, but this is not the case. It seems like the manufacturer isn't confident in the quality of his software, as there are limits on gaining ROOT and the requirement for KNOX. The software is of worse visual and functional quality than that of Xiaomi. Sometimes programs will freeze or act in an unexpected way. The MI6 has superior call quality, GPS accuracy, and compass accuracy. It was the only compact flagship available at the time of purchase; if portability is less of a priority for you, consider the Mi10 or another comparable device. The price of a Mi6 was $24,000 in the year 2022. You can get this one for $55,000. Of sure, there is a performance difference, but it's not that obvious. The sad truth is that it's on par with the original or even worse in every way. (well, of course, excluding the monitor and the camera)

Pros
  • Superior audio, compact design, large battery life, sleek exterior, cutting-edge optics, and a display as impressive as its other features.
Cons
  • Not being able to unlock the bootloader without voiding the warranty, overheating, fingerprint scanner, and inability to use without a case.
