Received my phone 4 days ago and played a little with it.

Its a good phone. The size, the touch, the weight are excelent. You can set the refreshing option to all the phone, including the system menus and window changing, not like with the A2 pro. Some other things like native apps are shit, but you can install your usual apps, so no problem. Also had the same problem Question mark statted, and with some apps it worked very well the Aurora store, but for some others not. I can install the podcast app I use EVERYDAY, but when I open it it always crash. That's a big problem for me.

GPS, being in Europe, it's not working properly. It works, but not enough precisely for using it confortably to find a certain street. If yu are on a unknown city you will have a problem. Waze worked as I described, but OsmAnd and others didn't even gave me a location. (I tried all this without a SIM card and connected to a WIFI, but I don't think it should influenciate)

About the screen, I love the possibility to adjust the contrast, black and white parameters. It let's you get the better image as this technology can bring. Hisense A2 pro lacks of this, but I think Hisense A6 has it. Yotaphone 3 also has it but it is a dead phone

Frontlight: here comes a point where I can't speak well, but probably 99% users of this forum will have a different result than me. It is a good one, and it works well, but for me who I have an extreme eye strain problem, it's dizzyness. Have to test the phone without the light and see what happens, but for someone like me who can't use a normal-coloured backlighted screen it would be impossible to use the light, maybe for just one minute in a momentaneum situation. This should be for the PWM of the screen when dimming the brightness, so one of this days I will do a test with the light at 100%.

Something it irritates me a little is I can't get rid of the chinesse keyboards. Everytime I want to write it is prompted first the chinesse keyboard, and then cliacking one button it appears the "google" keyboard, but even there there are two buttons in chinesse. More or less, everything is in English, but you are seeing chinesse from time to time

Wanted to try the OTG but I am afraid I throw to the rubbish my cable when I realised all my devices where USB-C. I really thought this phone was USB-C, but no
