This cel phone is very usefull to me, as a professor in a university. The camera isn't the best camera in the world, but the cel phone feels nice and works just fine for me.
I love the fact it comes with an extra battery and an external charger. This way the cel phone never dies... :)
- The projector itself
- extra battery
- extra external charger
- camera
- display
It is a good phone and a cool gadget at the same time. The projector is a real highlight, and it works great if the room is dark. But it's useless when you can't darken the room.
The only cons are the screen and the camera. The camera doesn't have zoom, and the screen is unreadable in bright sunlight.
But the batteries(2) last long: some gaming, phone calls, internet... and still 50% of battery life.
Its a very good Phone, Because of its unique feature "projector", clarity, colours everything is fantastic. The quality of sound, display, Battery(2), connectivity is excellent. You can immediately share Photos, Videos, Presentations in Group with the help of projector
