before anything else, here is the unboxing of gizguide - https://www.gizguide.com/2016/07/cloudfone-thrill-plus-impressions.html

released and bought in 2016, this was my first phone that is locally rebranded. as i was browsing before buying this phone, i came across a wiko phone that looks like it.

sadly, just like asus zenfone 5 and nokia x2 dual sim, i do not think that it is worth keeping. nevertheless, there were some noteworthy about this phone. i will try my best to recall those.

one is the music experience. the quality is not as good as the xperia phones i have, but there is a certain tuning that was made on it. the front dual speakers are louder than the xperias but not as on asusfonepad note fhd6. there is also a surround sound option. and since we are on speakers, during calls, the dual speakers swap roles. both top and bottom part of the phone has mic hidden on speaker grills, so when you answer a call with the phone upside down, the speaker that is place over the ear will work as the earpiece. neat.

web browsing is quite good too. as i remember, it only covers up to 3g network. the speed, including the loading of pages is decent. pages look decent, but images are not that sharp, it has low resolution display.

gaming is good, but not as good as my other android phones. include the camera results and performance on the decent level as well. i was never impressed by those, but not disappointed as well. i guess, it meets my expectations for a locally rebranded phones back then. it was not a waste of money.

being a phone that i consider not worth-keeping, it also became a family phone – whoever wants it pick it up and use as they like. until it was gone, too.
