réjean Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm not sure it's the right place but I read an article that some might find interesting; http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31148661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 My exact thoughts: "Let's start with the good stuff: It sports a 4.5-inch multi-touch screen and a respectable 8-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel lens on the front. That's pretty much it. The list of negatives is a bit longer: That totally adequate 4.5-inch display measurement hides the more important number, which is a 540 by 960-pixel screen resolution. That's actually 96,000 fewer pixels than on the iPhone 4, and they're stretched across a screen that's a full inch larger. Add to that a mid-range, dual-core 1.3GHz processor, 1GB of memory, and just 8GB of built-in storage (expandable by a not-included microSD card, of course) and you have a phone that is so middle of the road it could be arrested for loitering." http://www.dailydot....ne-android-ios/ Basically 3-4 year old hardware. Very disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very disappointing I rate this right up there with Windows Phones. I've been a devoted Linux user for years but have absolutely NO desire to replace my Android devices with Ubuntu. Unless the phone is compatible with apps from the Google Play Store, I see no chance of it succeeding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 On top of that, all of the "apps/scopes" are just links to websites. There are really only like a couple of apps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
