Bold statement, given the fact that there are a plethora of devices worthy of the title. I am going to get the specs out of the way very quickly.
Specs
- 5.5” 1080p display
- Dual Sim, LTE
- Snapdragon 625
- 13mp rear camera, 5mp front facing camera
- 32gb w/ 3gb RAM or 64gb w/4gb ram, expandable memory up to 256gb
- Fingerprint sensor
- Android 6.0 Marshmallow (Plans to upgrade to Nougat 7.1.1)
- IR blaster
- 4100mAh battery
The screen is good, the camera is okay for the price point, a whopping 4100mAh battery that we have been able to get 2days mixed usage and 1-day ½ with heavy usage.
The cost of this device is $180usd/$1200ttd, I repeat $1200ttd. In terms of sheer value for the cost of this device, I simply cannot think of another device that gives you such a complete package for the price point. The closest thing maybe the Moto G5 Plus but even that is still $230usd/$1600ttd.

The Snapdragon 625 processor is one of the most battery efficient processors on the market today. The build quality of this device is pretty good. Aluminium builds aside from the 2 pieces of plastic at the top and bottom for the antennas.
You will be hard-pressed to find a better value for a 2017 smartphone offering. No device is perfect, but in terms of looking at value to dollar amount, whatever shortfalls the Xiaomi Note 4x, I could not care less about. Last but not least, the colour options. Lord, are they gorgeous. It comes in Gray, Gold, Matte Black, Pink and teal/white.
If there is a smartphone that came out in 2017 in the ballpark of $180usd/$1200ttd that you think can give this device a phone or better, please let us know in the comments.
