Let me start by saying I REALLY wanted to like this phone. The specs on paper - 6800mAh battery, 50MP camera, 5G support - sound amazing for the price. But after using it as my daily driver for two weeks, I've got some serious mixed feelings.

The battery life is... confusing. While it does last longer than my old phone (about a day and half with moderate use), it's nowhere near the claimed 28 hours of talk time. And when it dies? Good luck restarting quickly - mine takes forever to boot back up, just like other reviewers mentioned.

That 6.7" HD screen looks decent for watching videos, but the touch responsiveness is hit or miss. Sometimes it's surprisingly smooth, other times I'm tapping icons multiple times before they register. The fingerprint scanner works about 70% of the time in my experience.

Now about that camera - don't believe the megapixel hype. My outdoor shots look okay in good lighting, but low-light photos are grainy messes. The front camera's beauty mode makes everyone look like wax figures (and not in a good way).

Performance-wise, basic apps run fine but this definitely isn't a gaming phone despite what they claim. I tried playing Asphalt 9 and it stuttered constantly before overheating after about 15 minutes.

The included accessories (case, screen protector) are nice touches that actually feel decent quality compared to the phone itself.

Would I recommend this? Only if you desperately need an unlocked budget Android phone RIGHT NOW and can't spend more. Otherwise save up for something better - this one's more headache than it's worth.
