I recently bought this phone and the battery idle drain overnight is ridiculous. Tried factory reset, auto-sync is off, location/gps off, no 3rd party apps installed but the problem still persists. Idk if it is a software or hardware issue. I'm sending back the phone to the merchant.

RogWicz, 16 Jun 2025Thanks for the info! If you have some idea of which Google ... moreYou're welcome! I believe BSG is most-suited for this configuration, as this doesn't have an ultrawide and a telephoto.
For the latter, this is more than enough. It's powerful enough to handle most games at high settings, so it's just fine. But do notice it's a cheap phone, so it's not without compromises, which we can't really complain about for its asking price.

Also, for casual gaming any idea if it can play games like Wuthering Waves at lowest possible graphics at 30 fps at least?

If you use your Crest frequently within the first month of purchase, then the adaptive battery works well to extend its battery life. I had to learn that the hard way, and that's why I manage 3 days of average use on a measly 3000mAh battery on my 8-year-old Nokia 8.

I am using Dito sim with 5G data, i also tried Globe and TNT and its ok. (Or WIFI thru Converge) Functionality wise, this is expected from an stock android device, anyway i just use this for GCash business. Display and audio is great. Has an option to limit charging to 80% is helpful. Btw, just bought this in April, 8+8ram, 256gm rom for only around 5500 pesos.
My little issue is the sim number is difficult to look/search, unlike with Realme UI where you just have to longpress the mobile data icon from the droodown menu.

Have there been any improvements in cameras via updates? Does it take good photos in proper lighting conditions at least? Planning to get this at $100 as a temporary device for a few months

I've had this phone for 4 months now. I'm not really into using the camera, but I think this phone has an issue with its SIM data connection. I often need to reconnect multiple times before I can get an internet connection. But it doesn't end there — after a few moments, the connection drops again.
I tried updating the phone, but of course, there's no update available.
Anyway, the phone's functionality is decent, but not great. I bought mine for 7,000 pesos.

Camera isn't the strong point of this device, it's the chipset, very snappy and can handle mobile legends, wild rift, and hok with no problem, battery also decent, it doesn't produce much heat too while gaming, speakers are also better than imagined, the OLED display is also beautiful and gives pure blacks that it makes the bezels almost invisible.

Good phone but the low PWM frequency is straining my eyes so I am letting it go.
