Delivery: Super with 2nd battery, screen protector and gatefold cover with status window and magnet for clipping on which the mobile phone from the Stby hollt when open.
Gatefold sleeve: does not fit 100%, thus the unit will be at times, but plays a time.
Haptics / processing:
Haptics seems great, the brushed aluminum frame looks great. But here we have the first real problem of Mobile Phones: is below the aluminum frame, the USB socket so deep that many plug does not fit in the accessories! I had my example 12V car charger cable to plug cut off with a utility knife so that thereby the plug was a bit longer so that it reliably held in the device - not really bad, but annoying.
Reception:
In all networks: TOP! Better than many other brand mobile phone
WLAN: Super also no complaints
GPS: Very fast and accurate fix, ideal for navigating (My main purpose)
Bluetooth: no problem.
Phone Features:
Everything necessary Android 4.4 delivers, but of course ..... On mobile side while crystal clear, though: The Opposite hears very dull, because I had multiple complaints.
Screen:
Readability: Great, clear, color strength, Colourfast - very happy - very good to use for navigation in the car, but: The Touch sensitivity decreases greatly from top left to bottom right (not an isolated case - this problem description can be found in several forums) - this is so strong that I want to write it as a mobile phone with which I feel messages as unreasonable, the same is probably true for gamers, I guess (a shame in the processor !!!). The app Touchscreen Booster is gem. some community contributions help a little.
Battery:
Pretty lousy. The partially described here Battery Probs I did not, but at the lower end of the capacity it goes really fast in the basement, also certainly true gem. several forums the capacitance value does not approximate.
Cam:
hardly used, but the test images were moving for an 8MP mobile cam in really good range. They will tend to be worse when you adjust the resolution higher - it seems probably a 8MPcam with interpolation up to 13MP to act.
Processor and RAM:
Hammer !!! I not been playing, but use the device as I said to navigate and that is only right and proper to memory and processing power. Here the Crown are properly gas! Recalculation of very extensive routes ?! 1-2 seconds at most with the inclusion of traffic data, with shorter routes at once, without any noticeable delay.
Conclusion:
Too bad that the Crown its strengths: reception, processor, RAM, Cam, design and feel with these 3 small but crucial errors playful:
Battery (management) -1 star
Touchscreen sensitivity - 1.5 Star (really really annoying)
Of course on the opposite side - 0.5 Star
Hope I helped
