Average performance, for very little cost.

OctaneOwl has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

Besides for, the camera, display and android 2.3, it makes a very nice phone, display is only 125PPI, which is easily noticeable, camera is very laggy and blurry, and android 2.3 doesn't support many apps and less features. Also this phone has very good battery life.

A nice one

nagisa has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

Though it is a level entry smartphone has some good specs which makes it good and affordable. First, lets leave clear the battery its quite good. Using 3G, listening to music and brosing just drains a 50% of 100% in a long period of time. For an entry level, its a good number.

Thin, handable, good sound quality and wifi and calls reception. A very good smartphone.

  • camera resolution too bad
  • few internal default storage 150 mb

A brilliant phone so far

middle007 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

This phone has been the best phone I've had in my life, it does so much i could use it as a computer (well all most as a computer.) i mainly go on this phone to text, call people and go on the internet and all those things are great. The keypad is good to text with, when your talking to someone on a call the voice is quite clear and that's good and the internet is good to research and Facebook etc.

Games take a while to load up like temple run and angry birds but the games play well, the loading up of the games doesn't matter it's just the playing what counts.

  • good speed to find something
  • loads up something quick
  • great apps to download

Cons

  • 3.2 mega pixel camera
  • Low-resolution video capture
