I have purchased the Crest Max from Amazon and it has been delivered properly. At an affordable price point I got this Marvel having all the essentials which reinforces the choice to purchase it. It has got a very good design, easy handling, Good aesthetics, Large display of 6.7 inches, OLED display, 120 Hz refresh rate, 5000 mAH battery, 33 W fast charger, Triple rear camera ( Main camera of 64 MP, 5 MP ultra wide camera and 2 MP macro) and a front camera of 50 MP and finally Android 14. All the requirements have been satisfied and fully in tune with a phone at this price range. Thank u HMD for this yet another sturdy built phone. All the applications are functioning well and the storage 8/256 adds further to the utility. Overall I am satisfied with this new introduction from the company of great repute.

Product: HMD Crest Max 5GFeedback:Packaging: The packaging was adequate but didn’t stand out in any way.Build Quality: The outer build quality is satisfactory but falls short of being impressive. It feels somewhat underwhelming and doesn’t inspire confidence in its durability.Performance: Unfortunately, the phone's performance is quite poor. It struggles with basic tasks, making it far from a smooth experience.Display Quality: I am extremely disappointed with the display quality. Having used Nokia phones in the past, I expected much better. The clarity and resolution are severely lacking, making this purchase feel like a complete waste.Battery Life: The battery life is average. It performs like a standard phone with no noticeable enhancements in battery longevity. It’s just okay.Camera Quality: The camera is a major letdown. It doesn't live up to the standards I expect from Nokia. The quality is far below par.Software & Features: The only redeeming quality is that it runs the latest version of Android, which is acceptable.Connectivity: I’ve experienced frequent disruptions and disconnections, which is frustrating. The phone’s connectivity is unreliable.Value for Money: Overall, this phone is not worth the money. The performance, display, and camera quality are all substandard. I would not recommend this product to others.

This is about HMD Crest Max with Sony Camera Lens Purple smart phone. I bought this phone as I was looking for a decent phone with Sony lens and with a brighter display panel having larger 8GB RAM and 256 GB Storage. Also, I got good exchange deal during launch time.Look and feel of the phone is nice. It looks premium due to glass panel at backside. Overall, Android 14 OS performance is decent. It uses Unisoc TA 1641 chip which gives similar performance like Mediatek DImensity 700. Audio reception and phone call quality is very good. Noise cancellation is good. It can record calls but it is not anonymous.Network reception for 4g / 5g is very good. I tested Jio Airtel and VI 4g and 5 g dual sims and those works well.Brightness of the panel is good. But panel itself is not providing sharpness / depth / details while watching photos / videos. It shows blurred / washed out distant images and picture slightly looses on sharpness , depth and contrast . Even usual IPS display produces better videos than this. Sound quality is decent but it lacks live audio and bass feel. It needed little more loudness with extra bass. However, when you connect to premium headphone, you will get better sound quality. For this you can check entry level 5G Lava phones and then you will realize how good quality speakers Lava provides . Another major issue I see in SIM tray and assembly. It is not easy to insert dual sims in one attempt as while inserting, SIMs stuck somewhere, and SIMs gets displaced. Once I lost signal as second SIM was displaced inside. The SIM tray edges need slightly more depth and more stiffness. Some minor issues need to be resolved like the phone got double tap to wake up but there is no double tap to close the screen.This phone has pre-loaded HMD tool (optional) that can check device overall health like device current temperature, battery health, storage health etc. Also it's RAM is virtually expandable. And HMD claims that this phone is repairable at home. Although, it does not come with screw assembly!!The performance of Sony camera is deteriorated due to this bright panel. Photos are more vivid in colour and brightness. Especially, Sky looks more vivid in picture than actual. But when you see same camera samples on PC you will see actual true colours. So, it is more of display , camera and AI combination issue than only camera lens. HMD should focus on tunning these issues and camera focusing abilities. Camera has many editing options. Overall camera samples are above average but I did not see any exclusiveness of being a Sony primary lens. Selfie camera is decent. It produces nice but smooth photos but with warmer tone. HMD needs to work on tuning front camera and displaytogether.HMD is not going to provide OS upgrades for next 1 or 2 years and so, this phone does not justify the cost. It needs to be cheaper than the current price.Overall, I recommend this phone as a secondary camera phone with 3.75 stars rating at this stage. Hope this help in your buying decision.

The performance is fantastic, battery lasts for almost 2 days and the battery charges quickly. The phone also provides a smart look along with superb sound and camera quality. However, the phone might feel a little bulky.
