Amazing top end phone with a small screen. This is the only phone that I know of that has top end specs and a smaller screen. This is easily used with one hand. The only problem I have with it, is the scarcity of cases available. No OtterBox out there for this phone.

Yeah dude, I just bought this phone to play Genshin, and boi this phone can play Genshin max settings at 60 FPS. 100% recommend for gaming For those wondering about the camera, the app kinda sucks But gaming performance is awesome!

This phone is amazing. Battery life is great, it's fast. There's no bloatware. It's not the size of a curiseship. Best phone I've had. The only con is that it's harder to find a case due to it not being a major phone, however it does come with a case in the box. I've had it for about a month so.

You don't have to be tall to stand out in a crowd....
