I purchase 2021 online, good phone no leg no hitting issue. But sometimes display brightness automatically down. Only this problem otherwise mobile is very good. Now 2024 still good work good battery. But software not updated i use android 11. Best phone
Used this phone for 3 years as my main phone, No software issues, or lag, only used for basic bank ,crypto, wapp, youtube,ec,t screen did not strain eyes. As of today it has android 10 never received upgrade to 11, with last security update Feb 2023. It died on me last week screen went black, did restart and taps it couple times, it did not work the screen was coming out too after a lot hits it took over the years never used a case since i believe are for the less unfortunate. I order aftermarket screen for 10 usd and glue for 2usd, had friend install it at no cost. I revived the damn phone screen is low quality since aftermarket, I will buy a case and will use as my beater phone(city phone) and I planning to upgrade to a mid range phone any recommendations??
First of all, it should be known that it's a budget phone. It's not going to run the best, especially now in 2024. However, it can be had for quite cheap if you buy at the right time. I got mine at Best Buy on sale for $140, buying it as a more up to date backup phone, something I always ensure I have on hand in case I need a temporary phone if my main one breaks and needs replacement or repair.
It has quite a few nice features for its low price point, like a good enough camera array, a high refresh rate display, decent resolution, proper glass screen, and a sleek design. The body is plastic as is the norm for such phones, though it is done tastefully and feels solid in the hand for such material. OxygenOS feels like a decent enough skin of Android and is straightforward to use.
It can be noticeably slow at times, especially when using intensive apps or multitasking. Even for a budget phone, you can really feel it sometimes. It hangs up on some app openings and transitions. The 90Hz display definitely looks good when in use, but the hardware inside doesn't really work well and the lack of dynamic refresh rate such as on most OLED displays only exacerbates this. While it looks nice when used, I would recommend setting the refresh rate to 60Hz as it seems to noticeably reduce the stutters and hitches.
Pros:
- Great price for what you get
- Fingerprint sensor is on the rear where your finger can naturally reach it
- 90Hz display that looks great when it can be used
- Looks good for the price point
- Clean hole punch camera hole gives premium phone vibes
- Plastic body is executed tastefully and has a nice shine to it almost like aluminum
- Triple camera setup looks premium and takes acceptable photos
Cons:
- Cameras are passable but not great
- Triple cameras aren't the expected type; no telephoto or ultra wide but instead a macro and depth camera
- 90Hz can be taxing on performance
- Lacks NFC despite having other more intricate features for its price point
- Notably larger "chin" bottom bezel looks strange, but isn't excessive
- Performance is noticeably poor, but is to be somewhat expected for the price point
- Fingerprint sensor isn't the most reliable out there - tip: add the same finger multiple times over time for better reliability

Navid, 11 Apr 2022This is in stock on the OnePlus UK site for £179, is it worth it for that price? Thanks for... moreFor the specs you're getting on this phone, no, I've seen the OP8 go for 250 usd brand new from OP directly which translates to roughly £200 for a phone with faaaar better specs for just a little bit more money. There are also plenty of other options at £180 price range that are far better than this
