I’m sure the phone was great when it first came out. I bought one last year and the general performance was good, but that short battery life, coupled with the intense heating and subsequent thermal throttling made it it unusable for games. Even plague, Inc. Managed to make the thing feel like a toaster. The other problem was the wired thing with the batteries where they’d suddenly shut down at 10, then 20, then 50 percent after few months completely ruined the experience for me. it’s nicer if you’re able to flash a custom ROM on it like I did, but because of the battery issues alone. i’d say this phone should be avoided like the plague
