I remember this phone is my crush 😍 I love this phone M ny yh 9th m buy kiya tha Today I also use my Sony Xperia U for phone calls Its rare phone 😍🥰

don't bother with custom ROM, just root it if you can and uninstall everything related to gougle, it's good for calls, camera and audio recording, nothing else. and if you use original charger battery lasts up to a week
