    I've been using this phone since 2022, and it's now 2025. For those of you still rocking this smartphone, my advice is to regularly clear app cache using the built-in file manager right after you use an app (the more often, the better!). After that, free up RAM by freezing unnecessary apps so they don't run in the background, and also stop all running apps, including system ones.
    Make sure third-party apps don't run in the background (put them on the 'frozen' list) and turn off background network usage. Also, disable any settings that allow apps to keep running after you close them. Another tip: turn off background data for all system apps that allow it in the app list.
    If your RAM starts feeling a bit full, restart your phone every two weeks or even once a week, it's up to you. Basically, try your best to limit system or third-party apps from running in the background.
    Enable Developer Options and change the main setting to 'game driver' and 'system driver' for all apps. Also, set animations to 0.5x for transitions and you can even turn off others completely to save CPU and GPU usage.
    I've been using all these methods, and so far, it's been smooth and lag-free. The thing with entry-level smartphones is their limitations. Don't force it to run every single app. Limit it like it's still running apps as if it were on its initial software setup. Trust me, do these tricks and your experience will get much better!

        Phones nowadays: dropped accidentally, now doesn't work

        Old phones like this: no matter how many times you try to break me, I will not break.

          Pretty decent, but closer to bad decent, I get that it's not meant for gaming and more for work, but with all the issues it may as well be used as a calculator instead

              My brother used to have that phone back in 2020 I think when my mom gave it to my brother for a surprise gift or something like that, it was cool back then, like it peforms like a cheap entry-level for filipino family friendly budget gaming phone able to play anything despite being a 2GB ram variant, but still holds enough and able to render games perfectly fine in 2020. But in 2024, things go down hill, it was super laggy unable to support modern games and apps that need a lot of MB, now I have to play less than 100MB games or lightweight games that is supposed to be smooth when running in this game but the frame rates are very low. Now I downgraded from Oppo A18(went missing I guess, maybe it was pick-pocketed) to Lenovo A8(smashed because of the sausage I ate ☠️) to Realme C11. Now I have to use the Realme C11 my mom gave me with her spare extra smartphones... I think have little bit of experiences within in this phone. It brings me a lot of memories between me and my brother back in 2020 during the upcoming pandemic. It's bulky design and helps me go through life. I now use this app for call, educational, messaging and texting purposes but unable to play any games whatsoever, until my mom gifted me a Vivo Y93(with Modified specs like 8GB RAM 256GB ROM which I realized it was fake and a scam...) Now I have to live through Vivo Y93 which I now currently using... I'll give an overall rating I guess 6/10 due to intense dramatic battery degrade and lagginess after 4 years of existence.

                  Don't ever accept to get this phone updated

                  Unless you want your phone to go batshit haywire over the simplest apps and games

                          This phone is very moddable, has some performance issues in some areas, the face unlock feature is nice and fast, but it comes with too much bloat in my opinion

                            been using this for 4 years and almost 5 now, its really broken already for me tbh! it has consistent black screens and lag and a lot of ghost touch, it also cant handle a lot anymore so its only good for work related stuff now. but i find it pretty impressive how it could still work after all these years, though it is laggy it gets the job done (at the cost of an extra 30 minutes though lol)

                                    Ok so first when I bought this phone it was fine it was alright actually but then suddenly it got slowly got laggier and laggier until one time when I played Roblox and opened the app it kicks me out instantly idk why that happens but yeah I think this phone can't run Roblox nor even PUBG it still sucks and I'm still using it today it lags all the time poor ram small storage space.

                                      I bought it in 2021. Now it's 2024, i'm still using it although I often want to smash or throw it to the wall.
                                      The only good thing this phone has is the battery.

                                        Everyone complain this phone suck. Yes sure it suck because the chipset is Helio G35 which is not that good and what do you expect is a cheap phone not Flagship phone. If your budget is this surely you can pick something else from this🫢
