Tired of seeing manufactures using these G series chips. when it was unveiled Meidatek released the G series as a Gaming Series of SOC, but now it seems like they're just low end trashy chips and what you can expect from every G series chip is that it will have abysmal performance. Kinda concerned Dimensity will end up being the same even since they started messing w/ the numbering scheme sub 1000,1000,2000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000. The numbering scheme doesnt make sense and they're diluting the brand. Every few years it feels like Mediatek comes up w/ a design that seems ground breaking, but then they decide to screw everything up w/ how they approach the lineup.

Remember the X series? To this day its still the only 10 core phone SOC, but they dropped the line after the x20,25,30. They always come up w/ 1 big move every like 5-8 years but then they kill the entire lineup. Its such an unreliable semiconductor company.

The phone looks really nice from the back due to the camera design. That's it. There is nothing else good in the phone.

Camera both front and back is horrible. Processor is really bad if you want to play any games in it. Games like clash of clans lag a lot. Battery drain way too fast. Using hotspot heat the phone really high. Ui is horrible. No customising options unless you use third party apps. Just a waste of money.
