    Excellent device in its time

    Phone of which I have a fairly positive evaluation during the 4 years that I used it and that I wanted it to be more. I comment on the aspects that I considered back then and point out some negatives compared to what we have today: Positives: - Size, I resisted large phones at that time and this was an ideal option. - Screen of excellent quality, resolution and color. - Rear camera much superior to the cameras of low-mid-range devices of that time. - Sufficient battery for the software it ran. - Fingerprint reader, which was something innovative. - Good performance in games. - Excellent mobile connectivity compatible with 4G. - Good amount of internal memory and RAM, far from the few megabytes or gigabytes of the mid- or low-range ones that existed. Negatives: - The few updates it had arrived a year late, which is why I resorted to installing custom roms. - Wear in some areas of the screen due to use due to AMOLED technology. - Camera unusable in night photos, which was not a problem at the time since this section was not relevant. - Video recording only at 30 FPS, it would have been great to record at 60 FPS. - Quite high price for the average income in my country, if you wanted a decent phone you had to spend a lot of money, plus I wouldn't have felt comfortable with a lower mid-range of the time because they were terrible phones, that's why I raised the bar quite a bit . The problem was disappearing as today excellent features are found in affordable phones.

    it's a good phone

    A great cell phone that I had, my first Samsung phone surprised me a bit, even more when it went into a tank of water and came out like nothing. Its performance is something normal, nothing to highlight and its screen was the best thing about the phone.

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.
