A new addition to the collection. It's a very nice, compact phone from 2015. It has a hexa-core Cortex CPU and Adreno 418 GPU, as well as 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage — just enough to load up with games.

Unfortunately, the piece I got has a very low battery capacity, which makes it almost like a wired phone. However, when fully charged, it can last for almost half an hour of medium usage. However, even when fully charged and powered off, it is unable to boot for a week until the charger is connected, so I must find a way to store it without destroying the battery completely.

The phone was released with Android 5, but has since been upgraded to Android 7. It was also upgradeable. Unfortunately, my phone got stuck on the original factory system and was never upgraded. I am wondering whether it is worth upgrading it via some files or whether it is better to just leave it as it is. The upgrade process would be relatively risky due to the almost dead battery. However, I would definitely spend some time playing 'Team Awesome', which I found installed on the phone.
