Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

Perhaps this is one of the few phones that, after a certain time, did not start to lag, annoy with some slowdowns and the battery charge melting before our eyes. I'm happy with the value for money, but I'm not sure about the relevance of the 8K in 2022, when there is an iPhone Xr that sells for the same money, but has a more modern display. Has pros: 1) Performance - opens everything very quickly and smoothly. For 8 months of use, there were no freezes, at most some failures in the operation of applications, but there is no getting away from this. And there are no games that this device would not pull. 2) Battery - in the first couple of months after the purchase, he kept 1.5 days of very active use, now he keeps the whole day and by 23:00-23:30 he goes to zero. But in general, and this is a pretty good indicator. 3) Appearance - I have a Red version, even after a long time of owning this gadget, it has not ceased to please with its beauty. 4) The camera - I can’t say that it impresses with its detail and sharpness, but for everyday life, when you need to photograph some objects, documents and sometimes a landscape, it will do just fine. 5) IOS is a fairly convenient and reliable OS, although it has its drawbacks, mainly related to working with the file system. However, the Documents application greatly simplifies life in this matter. But here everyone chooses for himself, a very subjective parameter. 6) The sound from the speakers is quite loud and relatively clear, as far as it is possible for mobile devices in general. Only at 90-100% of the volume does a bounce appear and everything turns into a mess. You will not miss a call, it will also work for a video from YouTube. 7) Slider switch to silent mode. Just a handy thing, right in your pocket you can turn off the sound, if necessary. 8) Ecosystem - yes, maybe it's too loud, but it's very convenient when you save the password on mac, and when you go to your iPhone or iPad, it will be automatically substituted. Synchronization of notes, photos, calls, etc. Cons: 1) The sound from the headphones is very poor and flat, for those who want to enjoy music, AirPods are definitely not suitable for this phone. Before that, there was a Lenovo Vibe x3, and there the sound is a cut above. 2) Siri - as it was a stupid toy for a couple of days, so it remained. 3) The second camera (telephoto) - works only in ideal lighting, as soon as it gets a little dark or artificial lighting, the digital zoom on the main camera turns on automatically, and nowhere can you control it. So, it's actually useless. And the portrait mode is far from perfect, the budget OnePlus 6 does it even better. 4) Front camera - selfies I'm not a big fan of selfies, but even in my opinion they are of very average quality. 5) The fingerprint scanner is just awful. It works every other time even when the fingers are completely dry. And all my friends with 8-kami have this problem. However, this problem was solved by buying an overlay for the Home button from aliexpress) It is difficult to explain how an overlay for 30 makes the scanner work more accurate, but this is a fact.
