Bit of a problem

Posted: Jan 14, 2018, 6:30 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

Found it lost in my school, no wonder it has a huge amount of scratches. Apart from that, it's highly customizable, I love that you can put shortcuts into the menu, you can understand what it says, settings simple to use, easy to create new folder. But it has no flash,making it non-capable of taking picture in the dark, no flashlight, I have to push my finger to the screen to scroll. It's a good one otherwise.

Phone owned for more than a year

From the 8th day of purchase of this phone i started facing problems
The Resistive touch screen is very bad.The phone reboots frequently and the performance of video player is below average
I checked with some of the people from nokia and they confirmed there is serious issues with the phones software

VERDICT: "DONT BUY"
