Excellent phone considering the (cheap) price

Posted: Mar 22, 2016, 10:51 AM

Phone owned for less than a year

Overall solid phone that feels good in hand and is easy to use. Really disappointed that you can't get all the applications that you want/need with Windows. Also not the perfect phone if a lot of the time you're using it to take quick photos, the camera takes time to open and shoot the photo. Yet the quality of photo itself is really outstanding for such a cheap phone. Also want to mention that the flashlight broke 4 months after I got the phone, so had to give it back to fix it. Warranty also changed the battery of the phone, after which it seems the phone is able to last longer and doesn't overheat as much as before when browsing internet for a long period of time.

Best affordable flagship smartphone on the planet

Best affordable flagship smartphone on the planet. Live tiles is very useful. Glance screen is god send. With the arrival of Windows 10, I am now able to use the same user friendly Windows I have been using on my PC for years.

What I like

Excellent desing, Nice rear camera, Windows 10 update guaranteed, Smooth OS (especially after the firmware upgrade 8.10.14234.375), Support microSD, Gorgeous Screen, Removable battery, The sound quality and the image stabilization on video recording is outstanding

What I don't like

You get a SD400 + Adreno 305 and 1GB of RAM by almost $300, The front camera is a joke, The sound from the speaker and the headset is bad, Lacking of some apps, like: wifi analyzer, A little uncomfortable (this is subjective and depends on each one)
