Customer Review

The mobile phone comes in plain black, therefore, forward glossy, matt back. The mini USB and headphone connection is closed by tight rubber seals. The on-off switch is small but easy to operate after a short familiarization period. A volume control is found on the right.
The thin battery cover is clipped onto the housing, passes inside to the battery compartment (there are also SIM card) a small rubber seal that is intended to protect everything from moisture.

The operating system is Android 4.2.2 is installed. Everything is going well and the installation of apps is easy. The 4-inch display with a resolution of 800 x 480 is not as tense, but it was enough. If the smartphone is slightly inclined, you can already not so good, so for two draufschauen is what difficult. It responds well to finger wiper, there's nothing to complain about. Its compact size is "one-thumb operation". Even when the display is wet, can operate it. I was able to test in the rain this already. However, gloves do not like it.

The voice and audio quality of the phone is very neat and leaves no wish unfulfilled. I have two SIM cards in operation, the card management over Android is simple and quick to use.

The GPS module takes time, about 3 to 4 minutes. I Osmand installed, it works quite well.

The camera is Ghastly! The quality is an impertinence, the colors are similar only partially removed the reality. There is no "flash", although it is advertised. Those who want to take pictures with his phone, makes better it alone.

Water-resistance: On the web, there's a few videos in which the smartphone dunked in water glasses and maltreated with scissors. Because of the fragile battery cover and the Klipbefestigung I would not jump into the water with it. A few heavy rain showers has endured it while mountain biking and that's enough for my purposes.

The battery has 2000 mAh according to the manufacturer. I am opportunity callers and Simser, after 3 days and 14 hours of battery has 23 percent. The network and Bluetooth services were switched off.
I suspect this might be realistic for a What's App addicts two days.

So far I am satisfied with the device. If you do not have many demands on the display and one the gruesome camera does not matter, you can be so happy. As Zweithandy for outdoor activities, it is always useful.

Oh yes: After 4 days the smartphone was there. The manual is down a bit miserable and in English. For this and because of the poor camera star deduction.

Edit says on 01/26/14:

Meanwhile, the Haier has several mountain biking participated by snow and slush. Under the soft shell jacket while hats and sweat attacks survived my part harmless. Once I held it under the tap, because quite a lot of dirt came off. After that, I found that in the upper part (where the camera is) a few small drops came in. Inside the rubber seal but everything was dry. The function is still properly.

Edit pimped a bit on 04/03/2014:

The phone still works fine, but had a few problems with my retrofitted memory card that was not detected. After restart the mobile phone I could shortly afterwards access, a few minutes later the card for the system was no longer recognizable. I have another card reingestopft, now it works again. Apparently the SD card has copped a, will however keep an eye on the matter. The expansion of the memory card, incidentally, was a miserable fumbling. You need either technical means or Help fingers like a pastor to frickeln the card.

The battery life is in my opinion an enormous! I have built my private and official sim-card and run a day between 15 to 20 phone calls. For this purpose a few SMS, sometimes ventured a game here and there, what you do just so nem part. Blue tooth and network are switched on only when needed, and then as short as possible.
The battery lasts almost 6 days with this stress.
In addition, the display has no scratches, although I do not particularly care Bypass with the part and no protective film was applied. I pay attention only to the fact that no key is having in his pocket.

The reviews of the allegedly insufficient memory is often criticized. I want to quote here again: "There are already 4 GB of memory in the device, including but over 2.7 GB are used already for the Android operating system so that only the rest is available as user memory available."
There is nothing more to add ...
