I've been using this phone since August 2020, I got the 4/64gb model. So far i had no software problem like ghost touch, touch delay, system lag, etc. with this. MAYBE this because I never upgrade the system and I always keeping the storage & RAM clean.

For the camera, audio & battery are still okay, It seems just like the same, No quality downgrade on the camera (If you want to increase the photo quality, you can try use GCam) & the battery doesn't drain fast. And for the hardware like backdoor, there are no many problems, my backdoor is just mushrooming and opening A BIT, but overall it's also still okay.

          I DON'T RECOMMEND this phone AT ALL. I REGRET buying it, it almost 2 years on me and it became worse than before. When you play games it's lagging, the camera became blurry, and the keypad always took a minute to pop up when it's full screen. The touches became delaying. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PHONE, DON'T CHOOSE THIS WHEN YOU'RE BUYING/LOOKING FOR A PHONE.

                      Very bad experience. Within 15 months motherboard damaged. And now for repairing it cost approx. Rs 7000 & I purchased that mobile with price of Rs 11000.

                          I've been using it for 2 years since the android 10 update, all of a sudden the home launcher is laggy, as well as the UI crashing, in games it's smooth, in case it's even okay with android 9, it's very stable when playing games, in android 10 because his performance seems to have dropped, even the camera is blurry what is that, his quality is always decreasing, there is also a blink issue with the camera, I should just buy another midrange, I'll try the sony xperia xz1 secondhand among the secondhand shops android 9 is okay I'm there, I hope he's strong when I buy him next

                            android 10 is buggy and super slow. the huawie nova 8i is better in performance even almost the same processor.

                            dont waste money on this.
