Stay away from Kata products, they have a horrible after sales support. I bought kata i1 from them but I was able to use it only 6 months after that I have returned my phone to their service center almost 6 times but same problem persist and they don’t want to replace my unit.

I think it’s a case-to -case basis, I’ve purchased an i1 last year and it’s still in good condition.

There was a time my unit needed to be repaired and their customer service rapidly responded into it.

I tried their demo units during the launching of Venus 3 and I got impressed with its responsive screen and fast performance. It fits the budget I allocated for my gift to my daughter this Christmas.

Venus 3 is good and looks like Xperia U. I think nometz just voided his kata product and cried because the Kata can’t repair it for free. WEAK!

Ang problema lng sa kata madaling malowbat wala pang 8 hrs lowbat na dhl sa daming application. Kabibili ko nga lng naghang na agad. Pero maganda ang style at smooth gamitin. Wala namn perfect na cp nasa tao na kung pano aalagaan para di masira.

How I wish to have read the comments before buying a Kata. Its true. Their after sales support sucks and so as their phones.
