So far, the OS and its 4G LTE connection are the most outstanding features from this 5 inches screen smartphone. Other than that, nothing else is really stood out. In fact, it seems like both phones sports pretty average features. Take example of the camera. The main camera uses 5 MP resolutions. While it able to produce decent shot, some may expect more of it because other smartphone has leveled up their camera with its 8 MP resolution.
Other features such as Bluetooth, email, GPS, multitasking support and hands free speaker is a very common features that can be found on other Android smartphone.
What about the battery? Both phones use a non-removable battery. Non-removable battery itself is a good thing because it makes more practical than ever. But it also means that if there is problem with the battery, people won’t be able to replace the battery only, and they have to replace the whole unit, which is really annoying. The battery itself able to last for 12 hours of talk time and up to 12 days of standby time. This is pretty average for Android smartphone, so there is no surprise in here.
Overall, the phone is an average one. Nothing really extraordinary to enjoy from both phones, not with the average features it offer although indeed both phones are already use the latest OS, so it is up to people to decide whether it will work good enough for their need or not.

I purchased this phone with a package deal from HSN…
Trying to locate phone cases for this model is impossible at this time for some reason.. very frustrating.
Had I known this, I would not have purchased it. But other than that, so far.. the phone is decent.
I’m switching from an older IPHONE, but did not want to purchase another one because they are so expensive..
I agree, just purchased 2 days ago and no cases are available! Glad I was able to find an universal pouch at least. One that’s not of the 80’s. I still have to take the phone in and out to use it.
