This phone uses regular-sized sims, not mini-sims.
Also, there's no micro-sd slot.
I expected the screen to be horrible but im pleasantly surprised. Not the same sharpness as gaaxy note but sharp enough for video playback.
It's a good buy if you will mainly use it for media.
Gaming not exceptional, also it only uses the 4gb phone memory for apps. So you can only install a few apps and maybe 1 heavy game.
I bought it for only for $299 and for me it offers good value for money.

    Planning to get this phone soon. Just a couple of questions, hope someone can reply.

    1. How long can the battery last with 3g and data on with alittle usage on browsing and whatsapp?

    2. Does the white casing get dirty easily?

      the screen resolution is far below par for a 5" screen. Compared to the likes of Note II and Optimus Vu the screen will look horrible.

                          One more thing, how is the quality of the screen, as the specs says it is simply "TFT capacitive touchscreen". Is it good enough?, and the resolution is a bit low for it's size, is the screen still good compared to other units?

                                      Good day everyone, i think i like this phone, it is cheap here in the philippines. I have some question for actual owners of this phone. 1. What is the internal memory? is it 20GB or 4GB? (i know gsmarena says 20GB, i hope theyre right, but in some sites they say only 4GB).
                                      2. How is the user experience(interface) with these phone?. 3. Is it good for 3D gaming? any lags?, 4. Are there any issues with this phone?. Thanks very much

                                        With exception of the 20 gb internal memory. All the specs looks like a china phone selling at aliexpress. Can be bought for us$200.
