Review: Brilliant Phone - Went from a Note 20 5g to this, camera on the note is better, battery life on this is much better and the camera is absolutely fine, just not as good as the Note. Love the screen and nxtpaper software, much easier on the eyes. Not being a Samsung I've had to migrate over to mostly Google apps, such as photo gallery, files, things like that, which work well, just need to adjust. All in all, for less than two hundred quid I genuinely think this must be one of the best phones for the money, and if, like me, you're coming from a flagship phone for the screen, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Review: Very good eye friendly screen - Arrived on time well packed. Unfortunatly not for my needs. The screen was very easy on ny eyes. Returned to desertcart very easy and a full refund. Would recomnend buying from desertcart.
