Everything great except the stock ROM

Excellent phone for the price. Looks good, performs great (I installed custom ROM/Operating system), easy to use and type fast, plays HD videos fluently, color and contrast looks pretty good, apps are fast with zero lags, games are without lags, battery is amazing.

It's a carefully built phone which has all the things I need, made in good quality.

I got it with custom ROM installed with some junk applications which I couldn't remove and constant ads, and some apps in Chinese language. So I installed MIUI Global using the software for flashing, and through Windows 10 64bit (64bit is required). It's well worth it. MIUI gets weekly updates, performs excellent, no junk apps, no Chinese apps. Highly recommended. Search XDA-Developers site for instructions and custom ROMs.

Redmi Note 4 is out! Check it out. Price is similar.

I got this phone for around $128 in Indonesia. This phone is metal build and have a very good build quality for a phone under $150.

The MIUI i used has a lot of bloatware and some of them even open an ads everytime i browse in incognito mode using chrome.

The Camera quailty is amazing for phone with this price range and the battery so epic; can last 3 days with quite heavy use (youtubes, etc).

The basic keyboard is not familiar for me so i change it to google keyboard.

The speaker also has good quality and I have no problem with that
