Yup, 26 Nov 2024Its goodGood thing about this update now u can run device on 60hz without jerks or gitters as much still usable previously we noticed since andriod 14 on 60 hz it was like to much gitters & lag like can't set it on 60hz u have to put to 90 or 120hz all the time for smoothness but now they somehow fixed it and u can get decent battery life after put to 60hz and animation and other activities u can handle decently

Just used this phone for almost 2 weeks, here's my short review
Note : used the latest version, I bought the phone used for $170, the only other option at the same price is GT 10 pro, Iqoo Z7/Z9x,LG V60, sony xperia 5 ii and a used samsung A53, I this phone is the best compared to all of them, I mean not in overall phone, but reliability, the used japanese phone I mention above is like gamble and samsung phone sometime comes with a bonus light saber if you know what I mean.
Performance : its quite good, 810K-ish on Antutu V10
Real world like game is like
Genshin high sett : 40-50fps-ish depend on places, thats the average, 1% low is kinda bad cause the phone used all of its power, like drawing around 2300mA or so, optimize game tend to do that.
World of tank medium : 110fps still dips but almost never goes below 60, can play it on highest but shadow on medium with all extra setting lowest w 120fps but not really that stable above 60fpd
Wuthering waves lowest : 38fps
Wuthering waves highest : 32fps
The game is not optimize, like barely draw the phone power above 1500mA, above is the average, all setting always drop below 30fps, the game is so bad at utilitize the phone power, like on some certain places you can get 50-60fps with the phone drawing 2500mA, but mostly the fps is like on the above, not overheating, not power limit, its the game, its not optimize I presume its because its mediatek, game with grapich profile engine is bad on phone.....
Battery : normal for a phone that can draw 8W, it reminds me a phone w snapdragon 845/888 which draw 8w and above, full power can draw 2800mA which can last 1 hours 40minute ish.
On game I mention it lasted around 3 hours 30 minute from 100-5%, but if you lower the power usage by lowering the setting in game, you can get 4 hours 30 minute-ish like the usual phone with 5-6w soc like G99, snap 7 gen 3 or somethinh similiar on a 5.000 mAh
Casual used is quite okay, like turn off data on/wifi on 8 hours only decreasing 4% and daily used like youtube, watch video and media social scrolling can last a day.
Charging is ok, 0-100 is around 1 hours 30 minute, first charging rate can turbo around 5000mA and drop down to 3500mA ish.
Camera : kinda dissapointed especially for a phone that launch at $300, I compared it with my $80 itel P55 5g and the difference is just really not huge, well in low light or dark places like night time is quite good, and the OIS is ok, but the thing that is bad is that the fact the color profile on the camera is just oversaturated and compare to the sony xz2/3 and p55 5g, its not realistic, but still usable tho.
Temp :
On room temp 26* no AC just fan circulating the air in the room, playing game it can reach 43*, same like my P55 5g but the screen got hot too in the camon, like the sony xz2/3 with its 8w+ soc.
Playing on a game with a peltier cooler/a fan directly blows into it can help the battery temp go down and have much mkre stable experience.
Basic stuff like scrolling media social, streaming yt and watching FHD content is ok, around 36*
Idle and just listening to music/podcast scrolling file are around 32-36*
Temperature of a phone is depend on its Environment.
Feature : its a trassion phone, its good enough, but dont expect a special thing.
Display : good enough, havent found any issue, but the thing I dislike about this phone especially at its launch price is that the lack of screen protector like gorilla glass
Sound : good enough, the jack with its high res is quite OK.
Overall its good enough of a phone, on 28 nov 2024, I think this phone is worth at $150-190$, above it is not really worth it.

Does it go off like just goes black, no shutdown sequence and does it require some light taps or hitting to get it to turn on again???
But thankful the issue seems to have gone away, it hasn't gone off for the past 5 days so I think I'm safe
What I did is I changed a certain resistor on the motherboard and also changed the battery, although after all this it still had the issues but it suddenly just stopped some days ago.
So maybe give it a shot and see if it works

If you're planning to buy this (brand new or second hand), DONT.
Bought mine last year, July 2023. Died Nov 2024. Just randomly dies. No signs, nothing. I was charging it and while checking, it died.
Tried to cpu reball it, still nothing. No fix at all. Possibly a motherboard issue.
Might as well buy any other brands except transsion.

I just tested this device for 3 days today, I Will share my experience using it.
But I will share this piece.
This device same as every device that used SoC that have 8w+ cpu is always overheat when game without proper cooling.
Like it got above 2300mA when fully loaded while other 5-6w soc (example G99/D6080,6 gen 1,snap 865) at best is only drawing 1800mA and averaging around 1300mA.
Just wait for my result of testing this device, probably a week from now.

Well the probleme are mostly about the battery life and the cooling, which all get worse once you update to Android 14.

New update is out and it seems they don't even care about all we are saying.
They're fixing issues that nobody cares about and ignoring the one everybody is begging them to fix.

nekosei, 11 May 2024i bought this back in aug 2023. Mostly i used this for game... moreupdate: this smartphone is still working and so as the charger. i accidentally once wet the charger connector and coincidentally that my phone was on 1% barely hanging bc i was too focus on playing a game and it did not charge 😭 i thought that was the end of my phone. it didn't charge bc it was overheating (my fault). lesson learned. i now have a habit of after changing i immediately put away the charger, away from any liquid and cool down the phone first before charging. i consider the phone low battery on 30% bc i learned that is the battery percentage u should charge.. any phones at all..
btw i still play mlbb and bypass charging is amazing! I don't have heating issues with bypass charging while playing. but after i play, i will turn off wifi and notifs, put down the phone and disconnect the charger to cool it down. I don't wanna fry the phone.
I'm someone who dislike notifs, so this phone is always on silent. i guess maybe bc of less notifs and silent mode my battery last longer.
No problem with speakers and microphone. i like the ai sound of this phone bc it blocks the bg noises when on call. but when using recording all the bg noises are heard.
video quality amazing. 4k is available. i can also watch 120fps videos on tiktok
the most function i use is color conversion bc i hate light mode.
i like the folder feature that u can resize it.

Babydubdub, 27 Oct 2024The phone was a beast on the 2nd update after stock.
If y... moreThanks for the reply, although now Im searching for an all rounder that really need to be reliable, overheating is bad for me, like I once bought Sony xz2 premium for $70 and Its always overheat, normal for a 9w soc, I regret buying it cause when I bought it, the itel p55 5g is at $85 and Its basically 11/12 of the Sony phone, like 2023/24 budget phone is insane, Its render 2018 flagship worthless in term of anything.
Guess I need to save more, the Iqoo Z9x is the same price as the camon 20 pro 5g now, I see the snap 6 gen 1 have a lower TDP and Its quite cool temp while playing game, all IM saying is that reliability is needed.

If you plan on buying it, it will definitely overheat on a game like genshin, you could practically use it to fry and egg if you go Max settings.
If you can sacrifice the genshin then yes all-round it's still a good phone but whatever you do never update it to Android 14
