REAL/TRUE/HONEST REVIEW!

I have had mobile phones for several weeks, I use them every day. This is an honest review. I will mention the downsides that I noticed about this phone. Pros: 1. Blast for Buck.2. Good storage space.3. I (personally) like the screen. I read other reviews not really liking the screen etc.4. I love big screens and this screen is perfect for me.5. dual speakers.6. Pretty good battery life. I use it for work/email/gaming/videos/etc. Charge 1x/2x per day. Cons: 1. Camera. The photo quality is not very good compared to my previous Google Pixel 3a XL phone. I usually record videos etc and there have been times when I've hit the record button. the camera freezes. I can hear my voice but the camera stops/freezes throughout the video. BIG AGAINST for me because I have to re-record. This happened more than once. * Another downside with camera/video capture - if you're recording in 4k - you can't crop/edit video from gallery. You have to decompress the video to 1080p and then crop it etc. So recording 4k on this phone is pointless if you want to crop the video afterwards.*2. 120Hz is awesome. 60Hz is great but sometimes the phone freezes and I have to restart. This has happened 5 times since I received the phone. I cleared the cache but it still does from time to time. Another example could be: I'm on a video call for work/general etc and I would minimize it to open/view something - the video call hangs and runs in the background but I can't access it. . So I have to restart the phone and call again for it to appear on my screen.3. Happened several times - my calls are hanging. I restarted my phone and when I returned to the phone the call was still playing in the background. STRANGE!4. The screen is not that sensitive. Sometimes I had to switch to my thumb to navigate etc.5. The phone has many previous POCO ads installed. There are ways to disable them, etc. I found a YouTube video showing how to disable most installed ads, but there was more than I liked. Later I found more that I turned off. CONCLUSION: Those are all my pros and cons. It's certainly beneficial, but the CONS are annoying at times and seem to outweigh the pros. I would recommend if you think you are okay with these cons. I'm quite suspicious of some of these crashes etc. Good luck.
