Phone owned for less than a year

Good build quality, screen is not scratch resistant, low volume level from speakers. Awful memory management - it struggles to keep in memory even one app that is open, everything else is evicted instantly so no multitasking. Huge UI lags after few months of usage, random app crashing due to low memory. No android updates ever. Not many settings in custom skin. For comparison iPad 2 with 512 Mb of RAM is night and day difference. Do not recommend Tab 2.
