  • Small but mighty. No lag, solid material, good as a main or backup device.

  • Great compact phone

    Beautiful slick design. Great camera performance in day and night time. Superb selfie portraits. Extremely powerful handles every task you throw at (demanding games included). The only downfall is battery life and the notch. If you use mobile data frequently (even if you're not using 5G). If you're on wifi only you should expect around 7 h of medium resource intensive use. If you're only using social media expect the battery to be higher.

    Pros
    • Night mode
    • portrait selfies
    • powerful processor
    • smooth video recording
    • monthly updates
    • sound quality
    Cons

  • Good…if cost half the price

    iOS is horrible, redundant and stupidly close for nonsense. The overall size is ok but still a little big for a true one hand use. Battery has decayed very quickly, at the beginning I had nearly on day of use (like 23-22hr), but 9m later I have to charge twice (wake up full at 8am and then recharge again like by 4-5pm, and put back to charge by 12am). Screen, cameras and connectivity are good. Face unlock is one of the worst unlock system I ever had, very unreliable.

  • It's so so comfortable

    I repeat myself... It's so so comfortable to carry around also is super powerful even with demanding task such as a facetime call during online multiplayer game such as COD. Of course it's a small phone means not huge screen and not huge battery so for random gamer like me ( about 20 minutes a day) you can have a full day battery use. The Video quality its is as Apple say a top cinematic quality, the 4K Dolby Vision video recording and superdetailed HDR photos looks amazing on this screen.

    Pros
    • Comfortable to carry around
    Cons
    • Maybe a bit fatter for accommodate a slightly big battery would have been better

  • Mini experience in your pocket, max experience at your hands

    The iPhone is the final upgrade many of us we've been waiting for, though it has a little battery it last for 30hours with Whatsapp, Calls, some web browsing, Spotify ... It charges very fast and it is very comfortable. The performance with great games like Genshin Impact is overwhelming, any can ask more to a phone.

    Pros
    • Pocket Size
    • Performance
    • Design, very ergonomic
    • OLED Screen very well calibrated
    • Price compared with competitors in the same cat.
    • Stereo
    Cons
    • Short lenght battery
    • A little over heat while playing some games
    • Only two cameras, missing Zoom Camera

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
