  • The best compact smartphone

    Overall, I am satisfied, but there are also small things that are worth mentioning (see list)

    Pros
    • Compact and lightweight
    • Beautiful design and pleasant materials
    • Nice Colourful bright display, 1750 Nits
    • Very good performance (Snapdragon 8 Gen. 2)
    • 4 years of Android, 5 years of security updates
    • Good photos and video recordings
    Cons
    • Only 8 GB RAM
    • Basic version (128GB) has slower storage (UFS 3.1)
    • Sometimes weird shots with night mode
    • 9.1
    • Screen9.2
    • Performance8.6
    • Camera8.2
    • Connectivity8.0
    • Battery7.0
  • in my opinion, a great phone without battery performance or backup

    The phone is small, good-looking, fun to use, and feels good in the hand. Performance is good. Only the battery capacity is small.

    • Screen9.7
    • Performance8.6
    • Camera8.7
    • Connectivity8.0
    • Battery5.0
  • Poor quality camera for a phone in this price range

    Photos look very artificial, too much HDR with clearly visible artifacts. Light and colors are not natural. In short: it does not capture the mood of a scene.

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.
