                Anonymous, 31 Jan 2021Did you experience problem? I just updated mine as of today.No problems so far ~ it's actually much faster and as I could tell, the antivirus settings works good too ( I've downloaded an app in Play Store with virus, as the phone states - and it was deleted right after ( with confirmation of deletion ). :)

                  ~ Long-term review about this phone ~

                  PS: It's just my opinion and my experiences within the phone - Feel free to judge and hope it helps!

                  Pros:

                  • Upgradable to Android 10 ( Received as a gift last May of 2020 - Android 9, Pie )

                  •The phone is budget-friendly if you're looking for a good phone

                  • 5000 mah battery life that could last for 1.5 - 3 days )moderate use) and half-day for very heavy use ( Continuous gaming and social media )

                  • Capable of 4k recording (Rear camera)

                  • Expandable memory

                  • Can handle heavy and multiple apps ( I have more than 70 apps running, includes 4 gigabytes of Games )

                  •It could handle heavy games such ML, LoL: Wild Rift, and GTA: San Andreas (which is 2 gb) It runs smoothly in GTA (w/ highest quality in-game) but the ML suffers some lags but could play well too in a good quality.

                  Cons:

                  • The front camera suffers ( In low-light ) for its price but could shoot good quality photos

                  • Brightness is very bright in dark locations

                  • Sometimes laggy and slow processing of apps at the same time ( Though capable of split-screen mode ) ( Just happened once )

                  • Volume not so loud but clear especially in video streaming and online classes (I'd prefer to use earphones)

                  •Package doesn't include earphones

                  • Static touch or ghost touch tend to happen more often (don't use if your hands are wet or in sweat.

                  • After the update, ( I didn't know if it's the Android version update or the security update ) the rear fingerprint scanner just didn't work ( Due to update maybe? ) Tell me if you know, Thanks!

                  Overall, it's a good daily driver and could handle daily apps. It also features such good specifications and prestige details ; just don't use it when charging because it will decrease the battery life.

                                  Don't know how they comes with those bad review. Been using this for about 4 months. Its fine, for its price range. I'm a non gamer, but nonstop user, never lagged, never slowed down.
                                  Though the Charging is taking some more time, Battery performance is fine. U can easily go for it without hesitation, if u need a budget phone.
