Unique and high-quality smartphone

The screen is beautiful
Good battery
Good fingerprint scanner in the screen
The camera sometimes has some trouble focusing.

I am very happy with this product. I came from a flagship smartphone costing double the price, and I don't feel like I had to compromise on anything. It is a really good quality smartphone. What struck me most is that the screen is really beautiful, and the brightness is bright enough to view in the sun. Additionally, the design is unique and a real eye-catcher. The included case is also of good quality. The only thing I've struggled with a bit so far is that sometimes I can't manage to focus the camera on the first try.

A fresh phone

Super beautiful design
Good camera
It is a bit big

It really is such a good phone for the price, the camera is excellent, same for the battery, screen... And so on, it is a really fine phone. Sure, a 1000 euro Samsung is better, but this is great value for money.

Nothing, not for nothing, -:), good phone, good camera

Works well and fast
Minimal bloatwear
No

Little bloatwear, fast enough for me; I want as few bells and whistles as possible. It does what I expect of it. Before this, I had a simple Nokia XR20, which also worked fine for me, but due to no more security updates, I was looking for a replacement. I still have to get used to using this Nothing quite a bit; I also chose the 256MB version because of the lack of extra storage.
