Customer Review

I am of course aware that I can not get a top Smartphone for 150, which is superior in all respects to others.
Especially as the specifications and hands-on videos can be found on the net.

However, a few negative aspects I have noticed:

1. The mobile phone creaks.
It does not matter how I put the cover, sometimes it creaks when I take it into their own hands.
I think it's not bad and it does not bother me so much, for others it would be a negative aspect.

2. The mobile phone is relatively heavy.
Sure, it could have also been found, because the weight is well known.
Nevertheless, I mention it.

3. The camera stands out.
Since I like to my phone on the table or somewhere else to lay, which is a major shortcoming, because I must always be careful that no scratches come on the lens.

4. The update to Jelly Bean
I updatete the phone to Jelly Bean, unfortunately the update was full of bugs.
In addition, the system was very slow. The 512MB RAM seem well be insufficient. Since there is still a need for optimization. I am back to ICS (4.0.4).

5. The sensor keys are not permanently illuminated
Unfortunately, the touch keys light up for less than one second, the meeting in the dark is when one is not accustomed to a bit annoying. This is one of the missing lighting and the other to the small sensor, the keys need to be taken.

6. Speaker halls.
Once I turn on the speaker, my interlocutor hears himself.
There is now a star deduction -> 4 Stars

[UPDATE]
7. The GPS is inaccurate
The problem I have, like many others, that the GPS is not accurate either.
It varies between 10m - 50m accuracy. Thus, the GPS has at stoplights issues to determine the exact location - the car varies from one intersection to another.
This is probably connected also to the non-existent compass, which leads to the second problem when navigating.
All this makes navigating across town or cross-country with narrow streets to a gamble.

Now there is the second star deduction -> 3 Stars
[/ UPDATE]

Now for the positives:
1. The price
Whoever finds something better, let him give me know.

2. Great Battery
In normal use, it keeps loose 2 days (about 48 hours).
By comparison, an S2 held at the same use for 22 hours.

3. Top Reception
The T1 has always top receiver, especially in basements or on mountains are others without receiving because, for the T1, it was no problem.

4. Good display
The display has a good contrast and good lighting. In the sun reading the display is not a problem.

5. Good call quality
Apart from the problem with the speaker, the call quality is very good.

For 150 you can not expect perfect device and I did not do well.
I was very satisfied with the device and it would buy again if I had no more dependent on the device as Navi.
However, one must remember that the 512MB RAM could be over time a little bit, especially in terms of updates.

Will probably the coming days to switch to a device with more RAM and better GPS / Compass. My choice is here on the S3 Mini, which is to have more than 200.
