I've been using this phone for approximately a month now, and I must say, I'm impressed.
Screen: The display quality is impressive, particularly with HDR content on platforms like YouTube. While advertised as 240Hz, it operates at a smooth 120Hz. Furthermore, its outdoor visibility is great, delivering vibrant visuals even in bright sunlight. You get 3 hdr options for YouTube and hdr supported apps. It so has virtual hdr which can turn normal videos into hdr.
Battery: In my usage experience, the 3130mAh battery performs admirably, providing approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes of usage under normal conditions, which includes data/Wi-Fi usage, occasional gaming, and camera use. When primarily engaged in activities like movie watching without much browsing or gaming, the device can easily last around 7 hours. Considering the size of the battery and resolution and size of the screen this is impressive. It take around 1 hour 30 minutes to fully charge using my 8 watt charger. It does charge at higher speeds with a better charger I'd assume.
Performance: The device maintains fluid performance without any noticeable lag, swiftly opening apps and games within 1-3 seconds. Multitasking is smooth, with minimal app closures in the background. Even resource-intensive tasks like video editing in applications such as Alight Motion or Kinemaster are handled with ease.
Camera: The primary rear camera is impressive, with its excellent dynamic range for both photos and videos and amazing quality. However, the ultrawide lens exhibits slightly lower dynamic range in videos compared to photos. On the front, the camera performance is somewhat disappointing, particularly in terms of dynamic range.
For recording options you get 4k30fps and 1080p30fps on main.
For the ultrawide you get an additional 1080p60fps which isn't on main.
The front only has 1080p30fps
Sound: The stereo speakers deliver an exceptional audio experience, especially when paired with Dolby Atmos and optimized equalizer settings. I highly recommend using Dolby Atmos because the audio doesn't sound great when it's off.
Gaming: Equipped with the Snapdragon 855 chipset, the device offers robust gaming performance, outperforming many mid-range and budget alternatives. It handles Play Store games and emulation smoothly, with minimal heating issues except under prolonged usage in direct sunlight or during intensive tasks like 4K video recording.
Biometrics and Security: The on-screen fingerprint sensor, while not the fastest, reliably unlocks the device without any major issues.
Software: Running on stock Android, the Aquos Zero 2 offers a clean and intuitive user experience with ample customization options. There are some unnecessary apps but they can be easily disabled. It's worth noting that the device is currently stuck on Android 10, with updates to Android 12 only available through Japanese servers, which may require a factory reset for installation, as shown in various online tutorials.
Design and Build Quality: It's very slim profile and lightweight design make it comfortable to hold for extended periods. Despite primarily plastic, it feels very premium, resembling glass and aluminum along the edges.
This phone is amazing for its current price, instead of settling for budget phones around the same price with mediocre soc's like helio or unisoc you're better off getting an older flagship. It only cost me $95 and I got 8gb ram and 256gb storage, highly recommended.

It's been a good 8 month owning this phone as a secondary device so far.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I don't encounter any serious touch issues of some sort like everyone else said. The curved screen doesn't scratch at all and I'm even using it without the screen protector. It's not too prone to accidental touches too.
With battery saver this thing would pretty much last almost a whole day though. But it really varies based on your usage. Fully charged it at 8am and needed to recharge by 5pm (at least on my usage)

Hzzif, 17 Oct 2023How do I update it? Any tutorial??bro nothing to worry on this, what i did was i did a reset and then created a new google account and directly downloaded the japan vpn from playstore, any of the vpn for japan will work but dont install anything else on the phone after reset. once you connect to the vpn the phone will update to android 11 and other security udpates one by one. its a slow process which normally takes 3-4 hours for reaching android 12 . make sure you have a strong wifi as its being downloaded from japanese servers. use your original google account after the complete updates.
