good phone

Midhun Kumar (May 21, 2014) on Gadgets 360

Overall, look-wise, the phone is really nice. It has a clear 4 inch Super LCD display that is easy on the eyes. For basic users who are not into games or hardcore phone-photography/editing etc, this is a decent phone given the price. It does your basic stuff, like phone call, sms's, emails, facebook/twitter/Flipboard etc well and - there will be a bit of lag - you shouldn't be disappointed. But when you start pushing this phone - say for a round of Temple Run 2 - that's when the cracks start to show. The game took 2 full minutes to load on this device. And in between the game there were split second "freezes" which killed the experience for me. The 1ghz single core processor is a bit out-of-date in my opinion. 512MB RAM is not too less - and it works just right for your normal needs - but then it's not enough for games and other high-CPU demanding apps. The OS is ICS and it cannot be upgraded.
