Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

Many people have written about terribly annoying ads built into the OS. Personally, for me, this ad is expressed only in the form of notifications in the status bar, which pop up about once every 2 hours. And at the same time they are removed with the movement of a finger. Haven't seen any more ads. In general, the phone is extremely good for its price, at least for the one at which I bought it a few months ago.

Pros

1. The screen occupies almost the entire surface of the phone, there are almost no black frames that would "eat up" the surface area. 2. The battery is good, if you do not load it with games - it will generally live for a very long time (several days at least), with active gaming it lasts for many hours - it should last until the evening. I consider this to be a very good result. 3. The processor can (with a slight stretch) be called "gaming" - it pulls out all the most graphonic games without any problems, occasionally there are only small brakes. 4. I did not notice overheating of the device during a long game, which is also very good. 5. The camera is quite suitable for this price category. 6. The amount of memory suits me personally, no SD card is needed. 7. The screen glass is very durable (as stated), it survives a fall on the floor without problems. I didn’t try to throw it on asphalt, and I don’t advise you.

Cons

1. The battery is non-removable - this is a minus of the vast majority of modern smartphones. Many people know that the ability to remove the battery can sometimes be extremely useful, and can even save your gadget in some situation. 2. Sound. More precisely, the system of its regulation. The speaker itself is good, but it is not possible to adjust the sound to the ideal value. The virtual volume slider refuses to take any intermediate position between predetermined "points". As a result, some sounds may be either too quiet or too loud. 3. Wi-fi module. By itself, it works flawlessly, but there is a small unpleasant detail: if you try to catch a signal immediately after turning on the phone, then Wi-fi starts to "jump", then turning on, then turning off again. It is treated only by a five-minute wait after loading the phone - only then everything starts to work as expected. I don’t know what the reason is, maybe it’s an individual marriage.
