I bought this yesterday from Facebook Marketplace and the condition of it has a crack in the bacl and scratches near the charging port but the software in it is a Chinese ROM not the Global one which adding the Google Services and the Framework is a hassle but it works.

The current software is a JOYUI based on MIUI 12.5 Android 11 which i am suprised because it goes to Android 11 instead being stuck on Android 10.

                                        Writing this over using BS2 after Rock use of one year and half a month... Since I bought from there only 2 updates come across 1st was Joyui 10 to 11 and 2nd was Of Oct security patch.. ( waiting for Joyui 12 ) After that 2nd update.. New bug introduced, if any floating pop comes up on screen, it stays there more that 1 min .. apart from it there is no any Another issue.. Camera is good ( not for capturing human subjects ) selfie is just shit... stero Speakers are loud but not symmetrically tuned.. upper speaker has quite low sound.. Taking about day to day performance considering 855 it's much much better.. no issues there.. battery life can be your issue.. 4000mah for gaming phone is not that great..
                                        Gaming performance is awsm .. full Marks there.. PUBG, COD, Asphalt 9 runs on highest settings smoothly.. But fornite sucks.. 30 fps and lags so much..

                                        Here is my review... 🙌🏻
