its a cheap 4G droid, but its slow and laggy. Camera is bland. and the battery life is shocking well the one I bought was. Shame on you Sony. theory was good. the practicality is not.

    saqi 86, 03 Dec 2014At last i sold my Xperia sp and get snappy moto droid mini ... morereally? is it brand new? where did you get your phone from? last time i checked the phone is still around $399. amazon has it listed for $449 and best buy $599. so I don't think they belong on the same price bracket and thus it's not fair comparing SP to that.

        You'll find earspeaker unconfortable during calls. Because of top-most location, the phone's edge will "cut" into your ear exterior.

        Main camera is bad, no way around it. Quite awfull quality of pics and vids, even in bright daylight. Don't have to trust me, go to gsmarena's cam comparison tool (especially compare with measly HTC 310 on colour pane). And cam software is poor, hardly any settings beyond basic.

        Phone's stock software is appalingly empty. Feature- and options-lacking, with speed being the only upside (which isn't always there). You'll need equal number or more taps and gestures to perform actions than on other phones with other android skin.

        Signal strength could be better, it's just below average, IMO.

        1GB isn't enough on stock FW. Mandatory Launcher redraws, especially after any web surfing (no matter the browser, I tried with chrome, ff, opera, maxthon,...). And I keep a verrrry neat system, froze and stopped all the background apps & services I could find.

        Seriously, there is no room here to list all difficulties this phone has. In fairness, not everything is bad, it has reedeeming characteristics, ofc, but my 2c:

        just go with Xiaomi Mi3. It has similar price, but much higher qualities.

Mine i... moreI immediately did a factory reset after getting .205 update in mid-june this year and for the next month or so performance was actually spectacular. But slowly it became worse and by october it became crap. Even though I did a factory reset after that, I didn't see the performance improve this time. I have already decided to root the phone and install cyanogenmod 11 nightly anyway.

Lag is common during normal usage (or because I am a heavy multitasker). The camera is also just average and real racing 3 tends to crash due to less RAM available. I would recommend checking out the 2nd gen moto g, or if you can stretch your budget then you can go for the xperia zr or the 2013 moto x, which are much better phones overall.

                        i prefer not to bring it to autorized shop because it will take longer time for parts availability.
                        good luck for hunting the lcd parts.
