It looks like the JMD phone is not worth buying. It no longer supports some apps, like the GlobeOne app, and I’m having a hard time opening banking apps such as CIMB—even with a strong internet connection. These apps work fine on other phones, so the issue seems to be with the device itself.
I don’t recommend this phone, especially if you plan to use it for banking or other important tasks. I have a feeling it may soon be unable to run any apps at all. There haven't been any updates, and it seems like the manufacturer has completely abandoned it.
I bought it because I love Nokia, but honestly, it has been a big disappointment.

i thought this has the ugliest camera i've seen in quite awhile but then i compared it to my redmi 10c and 13c and its camera is actually slightly better. the sound coming from its speakers and headphones are above average w/c i use most of the time listening to music, while the redmi's are garbage. i rarely use the camera anyways and for 70 usd (i got the 6gb ram 128gb rom variant, i would've bought the higher one but it was out of stock) there's really nothing much to complain about. btw it's made in india, i wonder if it's better or worse than the ones made in china?

I recently bought this phone and the battery idle drain overnight is ridiculous. Tried factory reset, auto-sync is off, location/gps off, no 3rd party apps installed but the problem still persists. Idk if it is a software or hardware issue. I'm sending back the phone to the merchant.

For the latter, this is more than enough. It's powerful enough to handle most games at high settings, so it's just fine. But do notice it's a cheap phone, so it's not without compromises, which we can't really complain about for its asking price.

If you have some idea of which Google Camera mode (there are many developers as per my info) works best it would be helpful, I tried checking on reddit but couldnt gather much info.
Also, for casual gaming any idea if it can play games like Wuthering Waves at lowest possible graphics at 30 fps at least?

If you use your Crest frequently within the first month of purchase, then the adaptive battery works well to extend its battery life. I had to learn that the hard way, and that's why I manage 3 days of average use on a measly 3000mAh battery on my 8-year-old Nokia 8.

I have no problem connecting to mobile network/data. I am using Dito sim with 5G data, i also tried Globe and TNT and its ok. (Or WIFI thru Converge) Functionality wise, this is expected from an stock android device, anyway i just use this for GCash business. Display and audio is great. Has an option to limit charging to 80% is helpful. Btw, just bought this in April, 8+8ram, 256gm rom for only around 5500 pesos.
My little issue is the sim number is difficult to look/search, unlike with Realme UI where you just have to longpress the mobile data icon from the droodown menu.

Have there been any improvements in cameras via updates? Does it take good photos in proper lighting conditions at least? Planning to get this at $100 as a temporary device for a few months
