Archos 45b Helium Smartphone Unlocked 4G (Screen: 4.5-inch 4GB Dual SIM Android 4.4 KitKat) Black (Electronics)

Customer Review

Bought for Christmas to my companion, I thought it would be a mobile phone perfect gift.
4.5 inch HD screen, 5 MP camera, newer version of Android and especially 4G.
All for a small price and a French brand (crowing) reputable.

Unfortunately, it soon turned into a beautiful failure.

Received January 11, 2015, the phone becomes very slow after a few days of use (yet very few intensive: only 2 applications, Bluetooth and wifi off, texting and calls every few days). A reset gives it a second life, but rebelote few days later, the phone takes about 20 seconds to respond to each request and eventually not at all light, stuck at the boot screen on January 28 2015, 17 days after its receipt.

Well, we say that this is the fault of bad luck, the service department is hyper reactive and returns a new device free in exchange of the old (different serial number) two weeks later.

For 20 days all goes well, the phone responds quickly to whatever is asked of him but fate seems hell-bent. I'm back for all the unwanted lags of the first device. And it ends 10 days later by a blockage in the home screen.

Ditto for the 3rd phone that has held twenty days (because yes, we retried, surely our sadomasochistic side). Too bad the customer service has not even the courage to admit that their product is defective.

Results:
Telephone 1: 01/11/2015 - 01/28/2015 (17 days, you left us too early friend.)
Phone 2: 02/13/2015 - 03/15/2015 (RIP: Instant Back to the Trash)
Phone 3: 04.01.2015 - 23.04.2015 (Bye bye Archos)

No reference to the third management unit and another more serious phone brand.
A shame when you know that the model top (helium Archos 50b) is itself in good order.
