    Can you imagine the lag? Android is naturally buggy and even my galaxy s3 randomly restarts and constantly rearranges my icons and its on android 4.1.1! Cancelled my nexus 4 order when I read about the countless problems with 4.2 So much that google had to release 4.2.1... I mean they killed december! Will my s3 get 5.0 keylime pie? Will 5.1 be the lagless version? I shouldn't have to do periodic factory resets or daily dalvik cache clears just so that my phone doesn't slow down. 99.9999% of phone users dont know what the dalvik cache is. Much less how to clear it!

                  >> dual-core Mediatek MT6517
                  May be 6577, not 6517?

                    This is comparable with the 2 yrs old LG P990 (Optimus 2x)

                      This phone is not compatible elsewhere because it uses MT6517 which supports TD-SCDMA and not WCDMA.

                        How do these cheap phones compare with old, but good at the time Android phones, which cost the same now, Galaxys S for instance?
                        (Comparing just hardware - Ignore the Android version, because you can have 4.1 in first Galaxy too)

                          Go GO Huawei! They make good phones for a small price. I've owned 3 so far, all were good 'till the end.

                            The spec is good for people who are new to smartphones, a lot of older generations have smartphones with similar spec, all they do are to Whatsapp and to take photos. ICS, 512mb, dual core should last them a couple to several years.
