I would like to describe at this point the only things worthy of criticism:
-GPS-
Who uses this mobile travel a lot as a navigation device, will not have as much pleasure.
First: connect GPS will only take place when in the Settings: "Only GPS" enabled. For other phones you have normal "GPS, mobile and wireless" active, because this increases the accuracy increases.
When THL 5000 satellites are in this setting has been found but the satellite fix will not occur.
The GPS also makes jumps while driving in the car. Especially when you are standing at a traffic light, the position moves Just looking somewhere else and needs when starting a few seconds to catch up again.
Even when driving in an area with many roads, the position you like to hike around times.
One has to try a navigation app. The Pure Fix with GPS test is very fast and is 3-4 m accuracy to. But of them must not be fooled.
Even the latest update via OTA does not solve this problem.
-Einbindung Google Play services seems fehlerhaft-
The Google Play services attract an average of 25-28% of the battery is empty. I have been looking for solutions but could not apply it. I had so far in any other mobile phone.
The battery is 5000 mAh with at least as much that one. Without problems through the day and also comes a 2nd day, but of course as a software problem is annoying
-Autofokus The camera needs to Lange in rooms
In the house or in non sun-exposed parts of the auto focus needs to ask sharp about 2-3 seconds. For stationary objects is no problem, but if it must go fast times, it bothers.
After all, he is always really sharp and the photos are very satisfactory for the price. The LED lamp is also significantly better than other China phones and can illuminate quite well in up to 2m distance. The photos, however, are in the dark or with LED flash always very noisy (if you zoom even something in retrospect)
-Einarbeitung The buttons not Optimal-
For me, the On / Off is - Standby switch installed at an angle. While he works, but it looks just not as great.
The choice of side (left) is not so well chosen, if one uses the left in the accessory flip cover. The flip cover and the switch is a little disturbing.
-Dual SIM
Unfortunately the fast 3G internet is available only for SIM slot 1. Slot 2 can only G's, you can can order though to the Internet, but only very slowly. There are cheaper smartphones that offer both slots 3G
Everything else is really great for this device. Speed display (look and feel), camera, reception (WLAN, mobile network)
Also, the memory management is very good. the Offline Naviagationssystem the cards are written on the external SD card (even though it actually is not to go with Android 4.4)
The intere App Store is incidentally only 3.85 GB. This ranges from normal, but could be better. It is best if the entire phone memory is available.
Accessories: 16GB Micro SD, Flip Cover with suction cup instead of magnet, TPU case, USB OTG adapter (for keys) to connect USB sticks, 2. protective film (one is on it), charger (1.5 A, which in the battery is not enough), USB cable and headphones (which I have not tested).
I admit for the device 4 of 5 stars!
For those who do not use it a lot to navigate, it is an absolute recommendation!
In this price range, for example, is the S4 Mini, which simply has no chance at all against the THL 5000th
Especially the battery is great and this size should simply build times all manufacturers in your device. The size is technically possible, THL proves with this device.
