Low price for moderate performance
Phone owned for less than a year

When I first heard about this device, I was astonished with the amount of specs that seems very high-end, and could be comparative to all the flagship beasts out there, however, when I used it, over time, I got more and more disappointed, don't get me wrong, this is a good phone for the price, however, it is not for heavy users: it cannot mutli-task, it lags 50% of the time on so much applications installed, I wish they invested more in the performance over the features like the upside down and camera resolution, and the camera focus even sometimes misses the object, however, it's cheap, so I should've expected a moderate performance, but at the end, you cannot compare it to other flagship phones in the market.

THE FIRST REVERSIBLE SMARTPHONE

IDOL 3’s premium symmetrical design is the perfect expression of its unique user experience. It’s 100% reversible: use it either way up and the user interface rotates to match even to make or receive a call. The result is a faster and more intuitive experience with no need to think about how you are holding your phone.
