Sana mas malaki na Ang phone memory Niya someday.
mahina po ba talga sound nya???
When I check out the settings of this phone. I am a li’l bit confuse about its 4gb internal specs. What I have seen in its actual setting was 1.41 Default Total Internal Storage Space… Waaaaaah! Ganun din ang OHD? Can anyone here explain this? Where is the 4gb internal specs?
dun po nilagay ung jelly bean sir :)
Dear Yugatech,
Here are some concerns with my Skyfire 2.0 unit:
Please check the Camera – Setting and look for picture setting or any section that can change the megapixel of the camera, because my skyfire 2.0 unit doesn’t have one, tnx
Please check also, everytime i use wifi and download apps + games the back part of the phone is getting hotter, i know its normal to be a bit hot but my skyfire 2.0 unit noticeably hotter than usual, they say it’s normal i am worried if its hot other hardware parts may not tolerate the temperature and eventually will burn out, what if the 1 year warranty is expired? will i just throw away P8k from my hard earned money? advise please… tnx again
I agree with @ROA. I actually own an HD and a qHD phone. At normal viewing distance/angle, the difference is not that much. At the price point CM is offering this phone (dirt-cheap) I can’t complain about the resolution. CM has done a great job bringing Android to the common Pinoy. Hope CM will bring better deals in the near future. As for now, I’d be grabbing this phone once it hits store shelves in our location.
P.S. Gotta hand it to people who say they get eye-strain by looking at a qHD screen over an extended period of time. Seriously??? Staring at even an HD screen over a long period of time WILL cause eye strain. There is a ZOOM function for reading small stuff on screen. Use it.
For those who are bashing me for my views about HD resolutions on small screens, please take time to read this article:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/10/1080p-on-a-smartphone-screencan-it-possibly-matter/http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/10/1080p-on-a-smartphone-screencan-it-possibly-matter/
I don’t think this article warrants any justification to the current crop of 1080p phones in the market right now. This article is quite old and I believe the ‘expert’ here downplayed the possibilities a bit and underestimated the quality that a 1080p screen could bring.
Have you even compared a Galaxy S3 vs. A Galaxy S4 screen? My oh my anlaki po ng diperensya.
If you tend to agree.(and I’m sure you will)
The article that you gave link to is debunked
I’m for ROA’s point about being overly concerned with the resolution, this is fine for the price of this phone.
And i pity Poo.
“strain ang mata mo over longer periods of time na tumititig ka dito” – life’s too short to to spend longer periods of time staring at a phone’s screen.
YUng mga mobile expert na nagsabi sa review, not bad ang qHD for a 5inch device, na review na nila ang phone pero syempre kung HD mas okay,,
eh yung blaze nga 4.7 inch pero FWVGA lng screen Pero Maganda nmn sya,
kung gusto mo tlga ng HD screen, choose OHD, a919i, diamond for local brands. :)
