Phone is getting warm as soon as I turn on my data, when WiFi is on, no problem, battery life could have been better, other than that, a very nice phone to have.
Have this phone for almost 2 years now and still love it.

        5 hour battery life is not that impresive especialky for lightweight apps such as whatsapp, tiktok, youtube, etc. Playing games like roblox can get warm really easily

                      So first impressions, love the phone design, small and compact. Battery is good enough to get you through the day. Phone gets really hot to the touch when performing somewhat demanding tasks. Gaming performance is nice.
