Dang…that pointless trade off. …512 MB RAM?
A half gig of RAM these days is inexcusable. RAM is one Major area that you shouldn’t skimp on.

nakaka bwisit talaga mamili ng budget phone. Lahat meron downside. Either low ram, small battery, not scratchproof and no available screen protector, android ICS only, etc etc etc
i remember a pugad baboy comic where mang dagul swoons over the miss philippines winner. Has beauty and brains, and mang dagul was hoping that she would have some imperfection like a crooked toe so she would not be perfect. And of course we are talking about Shamcey

Ganyan talaga lahat my downside kahit mga big companies like apple and samsung.That’s how the business world works kasi hindi na uusad ang negosyo kung my smartphone na nanduun na lahat.Just my opinion though.

This seems good considering the price. Of course, everyone assumed it sucks because of the RAM and/or the screen but just look at that price. You have a fast processor pushing pixels in a relatively small screen size. Seems like it would be fast enough.

oo 13k ung benchmark.. mabilis, maganda ang qualtiy ng graphics niya lang mababa ang ram.. di pwede sa mga games like temple run.. naglalag xa.. tska wala xang ibang developers para gawan ka ng custom roms at if ever failure ang pagrroot walang rescue or stocks na available if ever u forgot to backup.. bit dissapointed..
