Back when manufacturers knew you should not just brute-force a 5000mAh battery into every phone, but make a larger phone thinner so that the weight is still manageable. Visible with going from Galaxy A3 to A5 to A7 to A8, each bigger model is thinner...

I used it for 3 years and when my sis got a new fone (oppo) we did a speed test and still this phone won but unfortunately it fell hard and display gone but no visible damage
