The wired audio is dreadful. Even the review had to admit that despite shilling the phone.
There is nothing special about this phone.

They're forgetting that apart from the lights, this phone also has an IP rating, metal frame, OLED display with 1B colors, uniform and small bezels all over, fast charging, wireless charging, reverse wireless charging and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Few phones have any of these features at this price, let alone all of them in one phone, like this one. The galaxy a52s is the closest to this, in terms of features but that's it. I think this phone is worth the price. In fact, is a great deal for the price

            Video quality is simply outstanding! Didn't expect this from this phone.

            Photos have blurriness here and there which doesn't inspire confidence.

            Overall it's a very decent first attempt from a completely new company.

                        A 4.3 rating given the issues.

                        Sure.

Actually, BYD have high end cars now too and don't just focus on the low end. BYD is now also a huge electronics company and manufacture for many of the major Chinese brands including Xiaomi, Honor and Oppo (I think they offer ODM services too as well as manufacturing but not sure on the this)

                            The comparisons at the end don't make sense.the three phone to consider in this price segment are
                            Xiaomi 12 Lite
                            Nothing phone 1
                            Samsing S21 FE

                            Prices are really close in Europe
                            Thoughts?

                                    This phone is a great deal for the price and offers a lot more than what others do, in the same segment. Extra features of this phone are definitely worth looking at, especially the rear LEDs

                                      I will give you the OIS. I still can never forgive Xiaomi for adding no OIS to my supposedly premium phone of 11T Pro grrrr.
                                      Hmm, BYD? Those who make these poor Chinese cars? Interesting.
                                      Well, I am on the hate side of the nothing but I am just against anything people overreact to. With time, and if this brand proves itself, I might easily change my mind. But for now, I have nothing good to say about it.

                                        Lets see the number of sales of this mediocre disco phone compared to its main competitor Galaxy A03.

                                        From the review this phone should be priced between 100-120 USD. Two of the reasons are the lower brand value and unnecessary disco light.
