Minuses:
Very interesting smartphone, at least by the fact that it has a built-in battery of 10,000 mAh. That is, if you take it with you on a hike, the smartphone will last without recharging for about 10 days.

Unfortunately, the other characteristics are not particularly encouraging: a cheap display, a poor speaker and a disgusting quality of the camera.
