Two specifications explain why this feels slower than its price peers, and neither is the processor.

Buy it if: Buyers who want a bright, large AMOLED and treat the camera as secondary.

Avoid it if: Anyone buying for the camera — 108 MP without OIS is worse than 50 MP with it.

Buy it if: Buyers who need 5G and a large battery at the lowest possible price and accept the slowness.

Avoid it if: Anyone who multitasks -- 4 GB and eMMC storage make that visibly painful.
