      It's very smooth, snappy and very good display but no gorilla, so u need to put a screen protector. I was surprised, with its ram management, most recent apps stay as it is till the next day. Battery around 9 hours mix use. Normally i used mobile phones with case, but for this one case is hard to find in my country for that they have done fancy back which I am not a fan of it as its battery is not easily swappable, no fancy for me. I have used, xiaomi, vivo funtouch, I must say this is very clean os if u want minimalist os with no much brand apps which will distract you and steal your personal time. I feel here nothing is giving us more privacy for our time and usage as we need. It feel like they are just providing what is needed. Hope to keep ram management things this way in the future updates,

        If you are in Malaysia I wouldn't recommend it for you.
        The device is good and it performs well everything feels good and snappy.
        But the terrible part is when it comes to the after sales service in Malaysia.
        It is hard to get a quote for the repairs and also there is only 1 service center in the entire Malaysia it might take some time to repair + the duration sending in and back with a courier.

        Pros
        Snappy device (Good software/Good performance chip)
        Good screen
        Loud Speaker (Single Speaker)
        Very nice and clean UI

        Cons
        Very fragile due to the plastic body
        Camera Lens scratches easily (You will need to apply camera lens protection film)
        Front Frame also scratches easily as it is plastic also
        No stereo speakers
        No NFC Support
        No IR Blaster (For remote for fans/ac/tv and etc)
        Expensive screen (If the glass cracks you will have to replace the entire LCD)
        The case is very quite slippery (Please get a good phone case with grip)

          Marchelo56, 12 Nov 2025Very bad durability. Camera glass scratches easily and half of screen cracked from waist drop... moreAgreed, camera lens scratches like plastic, I had to buy a lens protector or a tempered glass for the lens just to protect it.

            Very bad durability. Camera glass scratches easily and half of screen cracked from waist drop on side (not screen down) even with a case.

              I'm this phone from past 1 year, my previous phone is samsung S22. I bought this phone as temporary after I lost my s22.
              Still tbe phone impressed me a lot with display and battery.
              Everything is good in this mobile.

                REVIEW: I'm using this phone for 5 days and extremely satisfied with it. My AnTuTu 11 score is more than 864k which is uncommon in this price range. Really liked the OS feel and smoothness. Customizations are kinda over hyped but everything looks and feels clean. Display is top notch and multimedia consumption is awesome. Great battery timing. Camera is what you'd expect from a mid range phone. Design is good and i like the feel of phone in hand. It looks premium but maybe not the flagship kinda premium. I never owned a flagship phone so i can't compare its in hand feel. I am extremely happy with my decision and hoping it to last me 4 years.

                    don1, 04 Oct 2025Android 16 will it be its last update? Will it be worth buying now if i use it for 2 years?No, go for cmf phone 2 pro this year if you want a nothing phone as it will have updates till android 18.
                    However if u want a phone under 250 dollars
                    But moto g96
                    As it has sony lyt camera
                    Good screen small bezels
                    Better processor and better battery
                    Or if u extend it under 280 dollars
                    Buy the oneplus nord ce 5 for 260 dollars
                    It has a 7100 mah battery
                    4 years of updates till android 19
                    Clean os
                    Sony lytia 600c
                    Dimensity 8350 and cmf has dimensity 7300
                    Big difference
                    Consider cmf if u want design
                    Nothing's monochrome ui
                    Else consider these 2 phones

                                      This phone is one of the best budget phones I've ever own,forget xiaomi low end,software is a nightmare. This one is undoubtedly the best budget phone right now. Im fine without headphone jack and nfc as long as I can keep the SD card.
