What owners report

  • “Will have had mine 2 years in august. [...] Previously my nokia loyalty got me and i bought a sorroco 8. Beautiful phone but screen crack fallin onto my shoe then the battery started dying after only 6 months 100% nah that was just a trick really its 23% so i was very careful in purchasing this phone and it really it the best phone ive had forever. Good size but not to big,5g screen crystal clear, can take a bit of a beating with just its basic cover, good specs no slow own or jamming never have to repeat press, speakers are great for their size, easy to cast and connect with other devices like cars ect. Seriously my first phone was a phillips fizz in 1997 it had jelly bean shaped and sized button's. And could store 50 names and phone numbers and the sim was the entire card like credit card you slide under the battery. After the 5110 then 3210 then 3310 then i got a 6210 which was fantastic could store 100s of numbers was really thin and light the screen was white and it had the extra buttons but the best was the battery i could charge that phone once every 4 or 5 days the last 5% lasted all night till i hot home on more than one occasion. My last nokia after that for about 12 years was a white one the was really good but for its day was basic but it had a torch which was great and again the battery was even better lasting a week i think it was an 1100 or something close . [...] I got one at 15 because of living circumstances but was so embarrassed by it .wish i could go back to the 90s late 90s was so good i turned 18 in 1999”

  • “I bought the Samsung A73 three months ago.... 1st time using a mid tier phone and I must say it's pretty good and so far I'm impressed. I'm not a photography enthusiast so the camera doesn't really matter that much.”

  • “Had the phone for two months, sold it. Worse camera, lasting barely half day work, charging very slow, blurred hd video on full screen, no headphone jack, only the one thing i liked about it is the 120hz very fast and third party apps working flawlessly.”

  • “[...] The down side is that it is kinda heavy and I notice the battery drain fast, i dont know the problem I tried some solutions that I had watch in YT. [...] I hope it last me for 6 yrs becausr my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 non pro lasted me like almost 4 yrs and its kinda slow and freezes most of the time that i need to punch it or restart it again.”
