Important to him was the screen size, long battery life and ease of use.
The following models were available: Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i, LG E610 Optimus L5 and LG E440.
The first two came out of the question because of the screen size and toy appearance (Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i) and the low screen resolution (LG E610). Although the LG E610 has a decent screen size, the resolution is subjectively perceived pixelated / blurred.
Since my father the device, make phone calls mainly for photos and use instant messaging,
I can not for the performance of WLAN, Gaming, synchronization with email, calendar & Co. say.
After a month using the following can be reported:
Pro:
- Runs smoothly
- Display responds well to the touch
- Display resolution, rich colors
- Quality of the photos, a LED flash is present, good shots in there, shooting outdoors compared to indoors but better; Cheese Shutter actually works very well
- Voice quality on both sides, no sound blechernder
- The battery is usually charged every 2 days; with intensive use of course daily
- LED Home Button
Contra / Neutral:
- Many pre-installed apps that you can not delete. This, however, can be done with the function "hide" invisible.
- Semi-glossy battery cover, but with a case so bad
- Very simple headphones are included, however, are not for the constant music
Finally a short note for Handling: I own a Samsung smartphone and am very well coped with the LG. The menu navigation is very similar.
