Deedsbleed, 14 Apr 2025Does it stil wort for 2026-2028? second phone only! I think it's still good. I previously had a Black Shark 3 Pro and it was still very good, but it was a hard brick. And if you have a bigger budget, just take a Black Shark 4 or above.

        I have it since January 2020, the screen is good, I came from an Xperia Z5 Premium, so if I miss the quality of the 4K screen, but for a 2K and larger screen and move from 4GB to 12GB, it was excellent, until May of the May of the 2024 The cell phone presented the Inhazon of the battery, I am about to make the change and I hope to more useful life, since there is still no cell phone in which it is worth investing with what this has already brought for years.

                          Anonymous, 16 Jan 2024I got 5G use Celcom. No problem. Only problem is the battery too hot when using for hotspot Hey there, thanks for your response!

                          Yes, I think the phone heats up pretty soon if used as hotspot. Probably need to use the Cooling device.

                          How's the phone doing after 4 years ago? I think it's still quite solid, although the updates are since long lacking...

                                  Hello , i got a good deal for this phone so I bought it.
                                  Is it ok to update to the latest Android 11 / Joy UI 12.5 ?
                                  I've read a lot of post saying that the update is horrible and it slowed down their phones. Anyone experiencing the same? Thanks
