Congrats! the built quality looks great.
How is the performance and camera? A review would definitely help other fellows looking for a change.

The phone looks good, a mini review would be very nice. There's also a 4gb 64gb version available of the same phone. Where did you get it from and for how much?

[MENTION=1451]jamankhan[/MENTION] [MENTION=989]shad0w[/MENTION] [MENTION=26741]Lord AvaLon[/MENTION] : $200 for the phone, and around $30 for the shipment. Got it from US. It was shipped to UAE.

Regarding the review I haven't yet used it fully but performance wise the phone is great. If you have the money go for the 4 GB version. The screen timing was a little low like 4 hours 30 minutes or so, I did tinker with the preloaded crap and battery controls, at max it has reached to 5 hours 25 minutes. There is this 'Android OS' thing draining the most, followed by screen with around 10-14 %. I am using it on the lowest brightness, but even that seems a little high in dark. I am not sure if custom roms will have any change to this brightness thing. I will test it in the coming days and see if there is any performance.

(thx) guys!

4 Gb variant ? what the difference of urs & 4gb variant ?
can u provide me the link of that variant ?
Check on GSM Arena. It is just the 4GB ram varaint with a different chipset and CPU. Rest of the specefications are exactly the same.

Actually I was in Thailand and this phone was sold out at majority of places. Specifically the 16gb version it was priced at 6990 Baht which is equal to 21k PKR. On numerous occasions I had the wish to buy this but did not as I got my phone screen repaired from there so had no motivation left. If anyone's relative is going there it's actually worth it. For the same price exactly you could also get zenphone 6 which is an older but larger model. Secondly the best part is if you buy it from the right retailer you can actually get a vat refund along the lines of 5-6% at the airport which should bring it on par with US prices.

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
