Frist use to android , Good experience but there are some bugs

Posted: Feb 22, 2014, 12:31 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

It's a good device with Large screen - Relatively "4.3-inch", 1.2 processor also is an advantage for this device
UI speed is a big disadvantage for this device as Samsung app's is an overhead on the system and take big memory usage.
the camera is not bad also, and internet is good

Guys dont hesitate to buy this phone! Its from the best mobiles for its money. No lagging and the cores are fast. Photos quality also very good..the only matter is the battery..it needs 1 recharge a day. I have this phone and i am very pleased from it. But dont expect such a smooth experience as galaxy 4 or i phone 5.. But its even better from iphone 4 and 4s. Have fun!
