1520 x 720 resolution, 287 PPI

Sorry but that's kind of trash, with F1 and F1 Play at the same price bracket, what is the draw for the X?

I actually don't recommend buying ANY phone from Aliexpress or even Amazon while you are able to exploit Koodo for $200-300 phones. Why buy this when you can get an S9 for ~$200 or the A70 for the same?

These deals only become appealing once Koodo closes the loophole.

It's not, they actually make very good phones. Only problem with smaller companies like these is their camera software optimization sucks because they don't have 3000 people working on it, so their pictures are a far cry from flagships.

Unless you care about your credit rating, of course.

Do it once a year and your credit will be OK. Just don't buy 4 phones a month for resale.

I would check the various forums about this company before comitting money to it.

I was under the impression that they did start closing up the loophole. I thought you had to keep the plan active for 3 months minimum before cancelling and paying off the phone?

To me, that's a crap. Putting together top-notched hardwares doesn't necessarily mean a good product.
