User opinions and reviews

as of 2024, don't buy it anymore. Chrome can load only one tab, and if you switch to another then it restarts page on another page. Didn't had much luck with other browsers either, on Opera it can have 3-4 tabs, before it start slowin...

phone restarts whenever the free space goes beneath 2GB. Solution: - disable all unused factory apps - transfer subsequently installed apps to SD card - disable automatic updates, as during update app goes to system storage, not to SD card ...
