Don't understand what problems the others have with the internet, it works fine for me. 3g and wifi... battery is fine once you tweak it a bit. I use mine about 2-3 days. I use "2x Battery -" so it shuts off 3g and wifi when its in standby mode. I have no problems with speed. Seems good enough for android 2.3.6.
Of course some phones are a lot faster but then again this is priced much lower. I bought it used for only €100.
Camera could have been better but its decent enough.
Only con is the low internal memory but when using app2sd it works alright.
- Durabilty
- Price
- Low internal memory(150mb)
- Camera only 3.2mp
I am working in an area where there is no signal in gullies and limited signal strength on top of hills. when I get to an area that has no signal and get on to a hill top where I know there is a signal I have to shut the phone down, take the battery out then restart the phone to get a connection. It appears when I get into service with another tower the phone doesn't see it and is looking for the tower near home. I have updated the phone with Samsung but this hasn't fixed the problem. Anyone out there know of a fix or is my phone faulty?
A very good quality smartphone, with a rugged feeling and outdoor tools (lamp, GPS, etc...)
Battery life is the great cons, because live only 4 hours with full use off internet facilities. The WIFI receptor is low end for sure because even with a full power net the sinal is always low. To review these items.
But in general is a very good phone and is IP67 certified.
- Very good built quality
- Large screen
- Very precise touch screen
- Good resolution
- Fast processor
- IP67 certified
- Battery live
- Wifi receptor low power
