I upgraded to this phone from my old school flip phone. it was a good deal and ive had it for over a year. I bought it to see if i really needed to upgrade to the more expensive data plans. it turns out i do...... I love having all the apps at my disposal!......if only this phone was worth more than i paid for it (0$) after a year of this thing I upgraded to the S5. and wholly crap the difference. if i ever looked at that phone again it would probably give me a headache. so even with the 0$ price tag in the word of the late Admiral Akbar......IT'S A TRAP!!!
What a shame that phones this bad still exist in the age of Android 4.0. Upgraded to this after my Optimus One became essentially unusable, and was dissapointed with what I got. Low resolution screen, bad camera, no front camera, slow processor, barely any RAM (even less than the outdated Optimus One), and measly 1300 mAh battery. Even ICS couldn't save this thing. Slow and cheap, with a pathetic battery.
I've had this phone for about half a year and it's pretty terrible. The phone is constantly crashing and freezing. The screen sometimes will refuse to turn on as well. I haven't used it much for calling so I really can't tell how good the quality of that is. I would not suggest getting this phone
This phone camera has no autofocus, no front camera, as it states in the specs.However the manual states it has a light sensor numbered 11 in the diagram in the manual, if you download the manual you can see it says that. If it is a light sensor it doesn't work cause no apps detect it. It's my guess that sensor 11 and 12 are proximity sensors and is misidentified
As well in the specs on here state it has a 4 GB memory I dont think its a full 4 gb but its close the internal sd card has 2.74 gb then the phone has maybe a gig then the external sd card can go upto 32 gb I have an 8 in right now.The specs here say that you can get 18 days standby. I highly doubt that claim, I havent been using my phone heavily but for instance 30 mins music, 2 hours of videos then you may get 6 hours on standby,With no running apps I would guess maybe a day or 2 at best. I can squeeze about 12 hours out of a charge if I'm carefull.Under heavy use I get under 5 hours max.
Now you may think I am knocking this phone but I am not I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions that I read in the specs section of this site.
I do like this phone, I can't afford the bigger smarter phones, so for a 100 bucks this phone per price is awsome when you consider the better phones can run you as high as 800.00 dollars. This is a great smartphone it has both strong and weak areas probably in order to keep prices down.The thousands of apps and the use of free wifi spots that are around Make this phone a joy compared to any phone in it's price range. I recomend this phone if you are on a budjet I am sure that anyone who has had a real iphone or a more expensive smartphone, this will likley not suit your needs unless your in a pinch and need to grab a phone for a short time.
