Reviews around code (1.00 of 5)

  • The phone also has a good array of features, such as knock-knock, knock code, quick access to the camera by volume button, and so much more.
  • Also, you can knock a code on the phone to log into it, which is really neat and convenient, but it doesn't always register, so it can get frustrating at times
  • Having knock on and knock code at the same time causes a delay and the phone doesn't know which knock to register (I just stopped using knock code)
