It keeps restarting again and again, and again. The battery drained in less than 4 hours. It constantly freezes. I did a factory reset to check if it was linked to any of my apps, but no, even after that the issues are still there. Oreo broke my phone. I bought it less than a year ago,” one user reported on company’s official forum.
