its a good phone but..

Rohit Nair (Jan 15, 2019) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

got update to android 9 and emui 9, but the camera is poor.camera always give you overdecorated photos only and its terrible in low lighting. i personally feel like its a gaming phone,so concentrate on gaming only, rest is just average.and ya the display glass and camera cover is easily scratchable, sound quality from this is average eventhough am using a jbl earphone. pros: amazing good fast charging. good gaming experience no lags or slowdown anywhere. lots of customization no heating issues jus lil. slippery on hand very premium feel on hand.

Great gaming phone

Prateek Thapa-[P.D.] (Apr 22, 2020) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

This is one of the best gaming phone I have experienced in my life especially in context of pubg supports HD with ultra settings. Processor kirin910 gives it a asweome push towards gaming. Camera day light image is superb if u click perfectly ya low light image is poor... Doesn't matter for me... Sound quality is nice but u have to customize ur sound and use good quality headphones I'm using akg 🎧great sound👌
