When I researched this phone popular sites like GSM Arena listed it as being dual band WiFi (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz). After buying the phone I found that the model in New Zealand only has 2.4Ghz. I wouldn't have bought the phone if I new the New Zealand variant only supported 2.4Ghz.

This also makes me wonder what other hardware specificatoins are different.

I guess the first warning should have been when I turned the phone on and the initial setup ran, and New Zealand isn't even listed as a region to select.

My next problem is I used Google maps a lot. At low speed the compass is used to help determine your direction.

My next problem is I used Google maps a lot. At low speed the compass is used to help determine your direction. The compass in this phone is unusably poor. Without moving the phone, and having it sit on a desk, I have had it North move up to 261 degrees!

On the plus side the camera is great and it has lots of storage space.

Easily the best smartphone for the price, especially for the price I paid (First released special). Has most of the features seen in flagship phones like a 1080p screen (iPhone 11 has a 720p screen), good cameras (Needs a bit of tuning for max performance), great battery (4000mah), small bezels, a headphone jack,, 128gb storage! (64gb seen on over $1000 phones) and more. The CPU and GPU is sufficient and runs triple A mobile games well and is quick and snappy.

But what stands out it how polished and premium the phone is with amazing specs and shows no corners being cut (Included earphones and case).

No notch, small bezels etc makes this phone look outstanding and attracts compliments and questions about how much the phone costs and every time you reply, it blows their mind.

100% Recommended, no complaints.

Used the phone for about 2-3 weeks.
For the money this phone is incredible.
The thin bezel, very small chin+forhead and no notch make the screen seem extra massive.
No NFC is a bummer but I can live with that.
The only real drawback is no rapid charging, however the 4000mah battery means you will always make it through the day so it's not a deal breaker. Used the phone for about 2-3 weeks.

Purchased this phone online. 3 days old now. If you like big screens for a phone and not too fussy with features, I recommend this phone. Long lasting battery and great value! The little pop-up camera adds a nice touch. Purchased this phone online. 3 days old now. If you like big screens for a phone and not too fussy with features, I recommend this phone.

Simply great phone that performs beyond its price bracket. Simply great phone that performs beyond its price bracket.

Fantastic camera, battery life is great and charges very quickly. Perfect size for me. Great price had it for close to a month.
Only fault is that its a 2.5 kHz and doesn't have the 5 kHz as said it would, as well as a lot of apps to get your head around that come with it, that I've never used/heard of before. (not so much a con as something I need to get my head around) Fantastic camera, battery life is great and charges very quickly. Perfect size for me. Great price had it for close to a month.

Decent phone, great battery. No face recognition only finger print scanner, but what do expect for the price. Decent phone, great battery. No face recognition only finger print scanner, but what do expect for the price.

Excellent phone for the price. I have had it for about a month now. Fast and has a great battery life. Pop up camera is pretty cool.

The only issue I could see someone having is the size of the phone. Excellent phone for the price. I have had it for about a month now. Fast and has a great battery life. Pop up camera is pretty cool.

I bought this phone for my daughter as an upgrade, she is loving it, far better to what she had, she loves the pop up selfie camera, takes good photos, she hasn't complained if anything so I guess all is good.
I would recommend it, good phone for a good price. I bought this phone for my daughter as an upgrade, she is loving it, far better to what she had, she loves the pop up selfie camera, takes good photos, she hasn't complained if anything so I guess all is good.

Good glimpse into what a flagship phone would contain but not quite there. Handles well, apps and games that you would use a lot. Camera works well and gives a nice photo. However, a lack of fast charge is a big disappointment as it is almost expected in phones nowadays. Good glimpse into what a flagship phone would contain but not quite there.
