Yes it has weaknesses - but the benefits outweigh significantly if you value a dual SIM Android phone. Before that I had a Samsung B7722i DuoS Smartphone (was not bad but just had no Android) and a simvalley SP-60 (the ViewSonic had been announced for a long time, but not available). The latter was a smooth bad buy because with such a screw can not make calls you!
My main applications from ViewSonic V350:
- A SIM for telephone Flat to landlines (Vodafone)
- A SIM for telephone Flat to all networks + Internet (through o2)
- GPS reception = here I set the app from Navigon one (for the complete maps offline on the storage, Speedometer, Speed Cameras warning, and the three alternative routes) and it works just fine! I've compared my Navigon 72 Premium. It is perhaps a little bit slower, but it works without a trailer or crashes!
- Android I need especially for the busy schedule vote on Google and also works very well!
- Bluetooth for the handsfree in the car working well =
- Internet, here I am also satisfied with the speed
- Duration of one day we reached (for the evening it comes to the charging station), when used 8-19 clock.
What I do not so important, yet works well:
- 5.0 Megapixel Camera => professionally handy for Abbyy app to take pictures of business cards (for normal photography I have a Digi-Photo)
What unfortunately is not working:
- Adobe Flash (used in many websites and I needed really professionally for a particular application)
This solution I set for the small internal memory a:
- A 16 GB Micro SD card. In this I have all external apps stored / moved, so that the internal memory is not too small. Even the Navigon app with about 2.6GB maps is outsourced there. So the operating system is fast enough.
Conclusion:
In my view, completely suitable for everyday use, even if I miss the Adobe Flasch. (That's why the one point deduction.) Occasional crashes occur, but keep in the frame.
Supplement for the pixel error:
- Yes, it gave me even after about 2 months (probably still had a model from the faulty series), but I got the phone without hesitation repariert- what I call good service!
=> A tip to: call not handle more than the seller, but the same for ViewSonic to the hotline. The very competent service staff immediately recognized under warranty and had to pick up the unit via UPS, after 5 days I had it again.
