I did not think - sooo much smartphone for so little money! I have long wanted and also Flops experienced (China scrap) because I just wanted to spend no 700 Euros for a cell phone. Now I have a huge part with ordinary middle-class specs and can relax videos / movies / photos in acceptable quality - without the battery breaks down. Oh, it may call outstanding :-)) Just: a small point to complain, I have unfortunately yet: the on / off button is very unfavorable (too deep) attached and it happened to me now and then that I had the phone turned off accidentally. Since it now is in a matching shell, it's better. Conclusion: strong buy recommendation for people who are looking for a great, good, yet affordable smartphone as an alternative to the incumbents.
