This phone works excelent with heavy programs like games with HD graphics. It's rear camera is the only problem because has only 8 megapixels but it's front camera is very good with 5 megapixels and it's wide angle. The relation between price and specs is the best in the market, at least the best in Mexico.

The only obvious problem is the camera, it doesn't have anti-shaking, so almost all photos aren't so clear for any shaking in the hands.Also the keys are not functioning properly as they used to a month ago.
