To bridge the threatened from the dealer has a 6 week wait, I was looking for a cheap smartphone (around 100 euros). The Idol Mini 2 seemed best equipped in addition to Windows phones from Nokia.
And in fact the phone for its price (119, - Euro) is pretty good. It is slim, lightweight and looks m. M. n. Chic.
The call quality and network coverage in O2 network the federal capital is good.
Unfortunately, there is a reason why I can not be described as absolute recommended as smartphone around 100 euros the phone:
The Memory.
Although has the Idol Mini 2 over a large 8 GB memory module, which is sufficient for a second phone or for infrequent users. However, this memory is again partitioned into 2 GB "device" 2 GB "Intern" and 4 GB "SD card". I can not say enough upset about how stupid this decision. The first message that I got after turning on the phone, was that the memory is full and the phone is not used optimally. This is because the internal memory with all preinstalled apps already bursting is full!
After installing the system updates, you can then install apps on the SD card. This leads then to the fact that there is theoretically 4 GB of space for apps. Nevertheless, any app installed a small portion of their data in the internal memory, which is still much to accomplish.
So you have to fight constantly with memory problems. In addition, the memory is still too slow, so that it comes despite the quad cores to constant delays.
If the phone's 8GB memory had only one partition, I could here make a recommendation, particularly thanks to the really good price.
I already had a few Android phones, but still none in which the memory was partitioned. The decision on the part of the manufacturer, I can not understand at all, unfortunately. Because he outclassed a really very good value for Smartphone (5 Stars) in poorer choice over competitors.
