    Great alternative  to  a  Samsung  Galaxy  S3  mini
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015*

Let me point out  a few good  points as well as quirks  that this phone has. The only  thing  I  can't comment  on  is the WiFi  Hotspot feature. According  to  the  specs you can use this phone as a portable  WiFi  router. I can't  test this because  I don't  have  a data  plan.Pros. Very little bloatware! All I see is stock Android apps like the basic calendar, clock  ect. A few standard Google  apps  like Play store  G mail, Google Voice and Maps. Holy crap! Did Hell just freeze over? Never thought I'd see the day when a computer  like  device  didn't come  weighed  down with some useless over rated  crap not many people will use. Yeah I'm  looking  at you Samsung  and Microsoft!Great price! Especially  for an unlocked  dual SIM card phone . Most  cost more.Unlocked .  Will work on most carriers like AT&T  and T Mobile.Build quality  is pretty  decent . I compared  this phone to my old Samsung  Galaxy  Y ( Hello  Kitty  edition) The plastic  casing and touch screen feel  very similar. Lol I'm not  brave enough to soak it in hot water or smash it with a hammer.Size. Small enough to fit into a man's  shirt pocket  or a lady's  wallet.3G compatible . I have AT&T  GoPhone  plan. So far I have no issues  getting  a 3G signal in my area. 3 to 4 bars.WiFi  compatable . Works well with my home internet. Also works great with the commercial  grade internet service  at work. This phone can even detect  my neighbors  routers  across  the street. Even the neighbors about 5 doors down.Bluetooth  capable. This phone had no trouble  pairing  up with my Samsung  Galaxy  tab  4. I tested  it  by sending  over a picture  and it didn't  take long  to  download. Please keep in mind that  there are a lot of stuff around you that can affect your cell and wifi service. Strong  radio signals  from CB radios and walk talkies, metal, live plants, area density  ect. Don't worry this is pretty  much  normal  for phones tablets and computers .GPS . The GPS  location  and navigation  are quite accurate . No trouble  detecting my location. I compared  this  phone's GPS to my tablet's and the results  were  the same. Imputed a quarry  to The Fabulous  Fox Theater in St.Louis . Within moments  I was staring at directions on how to get there from my home. I know the way by heart, so I was pleased with the accuracy.Storage memory  can be up graded  via micro  SD  card. I'm afraid  that this a MUST  HAVE. If you plan on downloading apps  music, pics ect. This phone only has about  1 gig of on board  storage memory. Just pop in a micro  SD  card  and your good. It will  take up to 32 gig. Most apps and games that  you get off the Play  Store  can be moved to the SD card.Touch screen is responsive . I don't have much trouble  with it. Screens change at just a flick. I know others have complained  about the keyboard  but in my case I'm not very good at typing. I always  have to double  check everything. If you are having trouble  with  the  touch screen, make sure it and your hands are clean. A stylus  will  also  help.Radio. This phone  has a real radio in it. It's not just an app. Like a song? Well there's  an option  to record and save it! Most of my favorite  radio  stations  come in loud and clear.My only complaint  is the radio only works if the headphones/ear buds are plugged in. But I suppose  that's good  if you're  on public  transportation  or at a doctors  office . Let's say the cord gets snagged and the plug pops out.  The radio will automatically shut off. You won't make everyone  around you mad.Call quality  is pretty  good  since I can get 3g. I called  my voice mail and I was able  to hear all of the auto robot prompts.The text messenger  works decently, You can even customize it with a background  of your  choice. Just a little warning  if you use some of emoji/emoticons that come with the app the recipient  may not be able  to read your text.  I sent a text with a smiley face and friend couldn't  read the message. To him it was blank.Sound quality  is pretty  good. Not at half volume and the ring and power on sound is loud. The speaker only starts to sound tinny if the volume is at MAX. Just keep it dialed down a notch or 2 and it's near perfect. The sound on the headphones/ear buds  is even bettter. The 3.5mm jack is pretty snug and conveniently located  at  the top on the right.I tried  the ear buds  that came with the phone and they seem to work  pretty  well. I'll  definitely  keep  them as spares.The phone came with  screen protector  already  on it.The display  is very  nice. I don't  even  have it to 50% and  yet I can still see  what's on the screen from different  angles. Might  have set the screen bright higher  in total  darkness. Not so sure about  full sun. I will have to wait  until  it's warmer because  at the time I'm writing  this review  it's still winter kinda over cast.Charging and battery  life. It charges pretty  fast in my opinion. It takes about 2 hours to fill up the battery. As for battery life that  depends  on  you. According  to  specs the battery  will last  6 hours. Under normal  use that should get you through  the day without the charger or a power pack.  Im writing this review on a Sunday. 3-1-2015 at 5:15 pm. The phone has been off the charger since Saturday  night. The battery still has about 94% of enegery left. I only had it on for a few minutes, just so  I  can try out the Blutooth  and GPS features. I forgot to test them earlier. You can squeeze out more juice by turning it off when not in use. Turn off Blutooth when not in use. You guys get the hint. Heavy-duty  users look elsewhere.Does not  overheat. The first  time I charged it, I kept  checking the device, the usb cable and the plug. All of them remained  cool to the touch.The microphone is pretty  good. The Google  Voice  app was able "hear" and "understand" what I asked it. I said  "kitsune". In  Japanese  it means fox. I already  knew that but I wanted  to  see  how well the microphone picked up my voice. Within seconds Google  Voice pulled up a Wikipedia  article  stating that kitsune  was the Japanese  word for fox as well  as pics and videos  of foxes.Video recording  and play  back. It's  pretty  decent. YouTube  videos  play  good. As for video  recording  it's  just OK. The sound is good but image quality is a bit off. The colors look a bit  washed  out to me.Update 4-8-15 This phone was able to connect  to  my HP laptop  via USB. Not only did the battery  get charged  I was able to transfer a dozen CDs worth of music and cover art directly  to  the SD card. I had no issues  at all with it. All you have to do is turn on USB debugger  mode and plug the USB cable in. Your computer  should  detect  the phone and automatically  make drivers  for it. I have Windows  so I don't  know how this would  work out on Macs.Not really  cons but  some things kinda fall short. REMEMBER  this is an entry level smartphone  so some corners  had to be cut.The front  and rear cameras  are not the best. Front 2 mega pixels. Back 5 mega pixels. I tried  them both out in various  lighting  conditions. They are ok. Even with the LED  flash and set to "night  mode" the back camera could barely  capture I photo I took in a dark room. I took a few pics of my cat Mingming with low light and full light and most them turned out nice. I took a few selfie with the front camera but no matter what lighting, setting or filter I used, the colors were always  a bit off.Processor  and RAM. Again Heavy-duty  users  look  elsewhere. This phone has an unkown  dual  core processor  with about half a gig of RAM . But for my needs it suits  me just fine.The micro usb  plug doesn't  slide  into the phone all the way. The might be an issue for some.Edit: I was able to find a case... well sorta. I bought a case made for  the Samsung  Galaxy  S  3  mini  i890. I had to customize  it  by taking off the plastic  grip. Then I used double  sided  mounting  tape  to secure  the phone. This phone is about 1 mm wider  than  the  S3  mini. Other wise all the ports and buttons  are in the same  position as Samsung ' s phone.

    Great Phone the M stand for Mini

This phone was a gift and my first time every using a Smart Phone.  I am pleased with it as a cell phone. It is basic. It has all the bells and whistles of all the other cell phones on the market, but it acts like a Tablet and app offerings are limited, which is fine, i am not a big user of apps on a phone. I still use a computer. The phone has a HUGE assortment of ring tones and notification sounds. It is very sensitive and does not remember settings so easy. I had to go back to audio settings numerous times to increase the volume. the radio function is great.  It amazed me that the phone displays the stations call letters and the song playing.  It will also let you record what you are listening to. On a sad note, the sound is tinny while in a call.  The same is true for when the call is on speaker. If there is a lot of back noise, it is very hard to hear.  The text pad is tiny, but i was extremely surprised that it recognized my key strokes, It was easier to text with the small keypad rather than turn the phone for an expanded view. Like I said the phone is light and i fear dropping it.  I have large fingers.  There is no way to adjust the size of the keyboard like many other cell phones, and the phone is VERY light. It does not feel like you are holding anything in your hand, so handling the phone is an adventure. I am trying so hard to not drop it. I would recommend a heavy case that can give the phone some weight.  Like I said this is starter phone for me. I will be looking to purchase a larger, heavier phone.  Otherwise, it serves the purpose.  In conclusion, the phone is decent, If you are just interested in making calls and texting, then this is the phone for you. Enjoy!!  :-)

I am a college student in my early 20s. This is my first smartphone. When I began looking for a phone to replace my old not-smart-phone, my requirements were these:1. Must be either Android or Apple, because I bank with Simple and their apps don't work for Windows or other operating systems2. Must have a relatively high-quality camera (I'm an art student and taking shots of paintings as they progress is very useful)3. Must be small enough to fit in my pocket4. Must have email capabilities5. Must be able to send and receive picture messages.6. Must work with my AT&T pay as you go plan.This phone met all of my requirements. Here are the only problems I have had so far:-The camera isn't iPhone quality, but it beats the 2mp of my previous one.-I still can't participate in group messages. I receive group messages as individual messages from each person participating, and when I send a message back, it is separate from a group message on the receiving phone. Since the messages aren't presented to me in a conversation format, it's really hard to follow group messages. However, this might be a problem with my AT&T plan rather than a problem with the phone.-It's a little tough to find a case for this since it's not a big-name phone. The Samsung Galaxy mini case seems to fit pretty closely, but the one I have is a little bit too small and halfway covers the camera lens.Here are the things I love about this phone:-It's small enough to fit in my pocket and you can pretty much guarantee that it will fit into a wristlet or a phone case/wallet thing (I bought a Sakroots wallet shortly after getting this phone and it fits perfectly)-It's easy to navigate-I use Gmail and other Google services frequently, and (since it's an Android), those features are super accessible on my phone-It looks super nice-I can insert a micro SD for external storage so I don't use up all of my phone's storage space.All in all, I think this was a great purchase. It was in my price range (under $70) and met all of my criteria. If you're looking for a first smartphone, I would get this. If you're accustomed to phones with high-quality cameras and you're not a fan of Google, I would steer clear.
