Hi! I have been using Honda Pridor since September 2025. Here are all the pros and cons that I have faced. It’s a 2024 Model and the Mileage is 12000KM when I bought it.

Let’s discuss seat. It’s fairly comfortable not that comfortable as of YBR but many times better than CD 70.

The kick is harder if you are habitual to kick firmly like CD 70. The kick needs a time. If you kick it without giving proper time, it backs off.

I have never faced any difficulty regarding the shifting of gears. I can easily shift up or down. Rider just has to make sure it is shifting at proper speeds. Since its gear ratio is low so the bike needs an early shifting in the first 3 gears. That’s what I have observed, I might be wrong in it.

The bike is extremely comfortable at 50km/hr. 60 is comfortably but with minute vibrations. After 60, the vibrations are significant.

Let’s discuss shocks. The shocks’ absorption impact is the same as of CD 70. However, due to large travel time, you feel a little comfort on pits and bumps. These shocks are not designed to be ridden like YBR and GS 150 at high speeds. So, you have to stop and pass the bump at the same speed as you do on CD 70.

Let’s discuss pick up. As far as the pick up is concerned, it has good acceleration. If you come from CD 70, you definitely enjoy the initial acceleration. I have tried GD 110s. Didn’t like the initial pickup.

Let’s discuss brakes. The front brake is harder to apply as compared to 70cc however the stopping power is good. The back brake is good too. But keep in mind that it is heavier than CD 70 and needs more time to stop. But with proper functioning leather and good tire tread, you can significantly reduce the stopping time.

The most observed drawback of Pridor is that when you apply brakes the back tire skids. It skids no matter what. The tires with poor tread the skid is a must. While the new tires significantly reduce that. However, it still exists during rainy days or other harsh conditions.

Coming to chassis. The chassis is strong enough. That is one of the reasons for Pridor to be heavier. However, it can handle large amount of weight because of this as this model is based on Honda Deluxe chassis.

Coming to any noise, I did not hear any noise till now. No engine noise, no heating issue etc.

The maximum speed that I have got from it is 90km/hr. The mileage is 50km/Ltr with 60km/hr avg speed. I don’t monitor very keenly so the average can be 55km/Ltr too. I tune that up at 2000 KMs from dealership and change oil on 800 KM. It’s because in my opinion Atlas Honda’s oil is not too good. Moreover, I have also tested at 700 KM by asking mechanic that is the oil fine. He told no. It needs to be replaced. So, prevention is better.

Moving on to front headlight and meter, the lights have improved since early 2012s models but not that much effective. You need to have a separate led.

However, one drawback is that you cannot install a bigger battery as the Pridor has small Alternator which is the device that charges battery. The bigger battery will eventually drain.

Morning Kick Start. A good condition with properly tuned Pridor needs to be revved up for 30 secs manually in the morning. After this, it won’t be turned off. It will start without even revving in the first kick.

For all of you who need a good bike in a significantly low budget, that’s a way to go. Not a bad purchase but still it’s not a great too.

Hi! I have been a long-term user of A55 since August 2024. Here are the pros and cons of this phone:

Initially with One UI 6.1, there was significant lag. Very poor performance that I thought to sell it.

After One UI 7 update, Samsung worked on the lagging issue. And there was a significant increase in the performance. And we all know that great animations started with this version.

After One UI 8, the performance was increased to all extremes. Almost no lag which means that there is occasional lag which I will state in the facts point.

As far as the gaming is concerned, I have played 2 – 3 times without the case from 85% to 13% constantly and there is very normal heating. The phone ran for 6 hours. But there can be discrepancy as I am not a proper gamer.

Overall, the battery life is good. SOT is good. With 5000 mAH, it is really good, never done die hard monitoring. However, while writing this it’s 7 hours 30 minutes at 97% usage.

My charging range is between 20% to 85%. I also do small top ups during the day like 45 or 50% etc. Super-fast battery charging is good too.

Facts:

It has Virtual Proximity Sensing. So, no actual proximity sensor installed. I have never had any issue, but the point is hardware works better than turning off your screen while calling with software with the help of front camera.

The lag exists. When you turn on your phone, there is always a lag, after this the lag disappears. The reason can be that Samsung made their phones to go deep sleep to save battery. That’s what I have heard. I might be wrong in this.

There is also lagging issue if you use your phone excessively and haven’t restarted it in a while. The phone does want a restart at least after a week or 10 days.

Fingerprint sensor. It is extremely slow however for 2D scanning it is accurate. I have used the very same sensor on S24 FE and S25 FE, it is speedier than this. The reason could be the processor and of course those are flagship phones.

Let’s discuss display. It has a good refresh rate. I have compared it with other budget Chinese phones the refresh rate is better. As far as, the color and picture quality is concerned, I have compared it with Iphone 13 base variant the display is almost same in many cases even thought Iphone has more resolution than this one. For larger variants, like iphone 14,15 etc it almost never competes.

Coming to cameras, the only good thing the camera provides is 60 fps video quality. The smoothness in the video is excellent. Rest, the cameras are not good. However, for budget range, keeping in view the price and all other features, those are acceptable, at least for me.

Speakers are good. However, for high bass music they are not fit to listen. For normal usage they are okay. Mic quality is great in shooting video and while calling.

It has large weight. So, carrying it with a case is harder. Without case is easy.

Coming to Vibration Motor. The haptics are okay but very subpar. If you hold a flagship Samsung device or may be an Iphone. Their haptics are great. While riding a bike, you cannot feel the ping of your notifications on vibration mode.

Let’s discuss software. I believe Samsung takes good care of their flagship phones than a midrange phones. But over time, I have seen significant increase in performance. In my personal opinion, the optimization on flagship phones is much better than this one. App optimization, battery optimization, performance optimization etc.

But this is why it is a budget phone! Isn’t it.
