Durable and using it for 3 years but nothing special

Posted: May 29, 2014, 1:42 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

This phone has dropped so many times and it was washed away and found in mud, I smashed this phone to the ground and the digitizer glass was broken and I replaced that with a digitizer brought from ebey so no issues with that, so this phones is indeed durable with accidents unlike my wife's samsung galaxy s2. Lack of memory is a serious issue to me and also battery

Phone owned for more than a year

- I have had no positive experience with this phone.

- The fact that they put a lot of integrated applications when you hardly get any space is a complete joke. Memory wise this phone is useless. I only had about 4 to 5 apps and the internal memory was full... they weren't big apps just your average sized app.

- This phone is incredibly weak. It even struggles to load web pages and if the page is to big it shuts down the browser completely. Apps are slow due to its weak processor and low ram. It could be simple messaging apps such as Line, and it lags and closes the app down.

- Small screen is very bad for the user and has a lot of downsides, never buy a phone with a small screen, trust me on this.

I could go on and on about the negatives but I guess you get what you pay for. I would highly advice people to not invest in this phone at all.

Piece of Crap

Phone owned for more than a year

Phone is prone to breaking down. Camera takes ages to snap a pic because it refocuses a trillion times so you miss the picture. Had the phone for a year when basically everything stopped working and now it can take up to 10mins to write a three word text message! Definitely DO NOT RECOMMENDED.
