As others have already said, the lightness hardly affects the performance of the phone, as evidenced by the quality of AV protection and other test groups . Good one! Live it and be satisfied with it. Only with that they always maintain the same. "

"From my experience, an excellent antivirus. The AppLock feature here has more options (eg a password option) and is more secure than even dedicated applications for this purpose … The built-in authenticator is also useful, so I do not have to worry about it. I no longer need to use a separate application for this. I have not used any other features, but I can say that this app is 10/10 in my book. The only thing that is strange is that Web filtering does not detect the installation of Chrome Beta. "
