InnJoo Fire 16GB 3G Smartphone review. These were going for R1499 @ takealot, then reduced to R1199, cashed in on the latter price.

Received the item.

Wil be reviewing.

I am just curious about touchscreen response and if there is any lag?

Thanx

OK, so no quick charge featured on this model......
Dunno, the Fire Plus (5.5" not released here yet) supposedly charges its 3500mAh in 2 hours but Bond is probably anal like me about the first charge - if the manual says 8 hours then that's what it gets :)

I think my 3310 was the last phone I fully charged as per manual. The rest I use straight out of the box.

Impressed thus far, not overly.

Played with it, snappy, touch screen not that responsive as a high end model smartphone, but for the price, I'm impressed. Screen res is underwhelming, Low PPI @ 960 x 540 for 220ppi.

2GB RAM (3GB G4 owner) + 1.3Ghz QCore felt the part as I was downloading, updating installing apps like crazy.
Comes with about 12GB to play around with for apps and stuff.

Comes with a lot of nonsense apps..

5MP pics are around 800KB and aren't as exceptional, the camera got HDR, pnorama and some other nice feature.

61% from factory from around 15:30), just died now and I heavily utilised it, kudos to battery thus far.

Case it comes with doesn't grip or anything, or I must be blond...

I can't find a way to lock both connection to 3G though. I can only lock 1 sim at a time, a a result the other sim is @ E or G.

Thank you.
My interests:
- Gyroscope?
- Bloatware
- Speaker Sound

1. Not a fan, I et it on lock. But it wasn't too accurate as it tilted by itself when I didn't want it to.
2. Not service provider but comes with stuff like Privacy Guard, AVG, Asphalt Nitro, Chaatz and Injoo stuff (browser, IM, forum).
3. Way lower than what I'm benchmarking it with currcntly (LG G4), but adequate enough.

Thanks bond,

Am following your review very closely,

My questions;

Toughness/stability of the phone?
How solid/strong is it? Does it look like it survive a good few years?
Screen protector? And pouch,
Included? Worth anything?

Also as its possible to root, Roms like cm avalible for it?

Also FM radio, able to record?
