Reviews around display (4.58 of 5)

  • I have tested it thoroughly, and it has a bright crisp display, real LED selfie flash, excellent reception, easy setup/activation, expensive look, and heavy-duty feel
  • The display is great but not real High Definition (768 Pixels)
  • For the price it has a good set of features and a nice looking large display and includes a screen protector and basic rubber case as standard accessories
  • It is sad with the nice specs and the beautiful and shiny screen display.
  • But the display is pretty sharp, the responsive time is acceptable, and it seems to be pretty stable.

Reviews around feature (4.42 of 5)

  • It lacks a few features but does perform alright otherwise
  • Great features, sleek look, awesome memory and pictures
  • The phone has a good build quality for the price, the features are great, I really like the fact it does not come with a bunch of bloatware and what little it does come with is not locked into the rom aka you can uninstall it
  • I think companies should quit offering features and options that are not working in their products, possibly to be able to charge the customers more with useless or broken features/options, as is described above with the dual SIM issue
  • As always nice design and very functional with amazing power and features for the price.

  • This phone is excellent quality for the low price point, I'm very happy with it
  • The hardware is good for the price and the phone is reasonably well-designed, but the camera is poor quality, the USB is backwards, the battery is not removable, and the power/sleep button is below the volume buttons which is the reverse of most other Android phones
  • , much better build quality, great Android 7.0 Nougat, improved speaker and overall this looks like a $700 phone now
  • Excellent device, just a detail for this phone, the speakers are not of good quality, I would put 4 stars for that detail, but at the price that is currently offered this equipment does not compare with a high-end, so the 5 stars.
