@ Rouxenator - What is the battery life like so far?

 

[Rouxenator]

Been playing around with it too much so I can't really say. Yesterday I got about 8 hours from iy. That included 90 minutes of GPS tracking which can be pretty heavy on these smaller phones. Will see how well it does if I track longer rides (3h+) with it and also normal use. It should make it through the day I think.

Thanks.

Where you get yours from... sounds ideal for sub R1000 phones.

Bought it from the vodacom site, very quick since I am already a customer.

Does it have wifi or vodacom meant it when they said it doesn't have wifi?

 

[Rouxenator]

Yes - it has wifi !
Vodacom are morons.

so you reckon its a good upgrade from the aged galaxy s1 ?

i just tested antutu on mine and got 5323 points LOL ......

antutu says my cpu is poor but gfx is good.

kitkat 4.4 custom modded cwm

It is pretty much a S1 with dual core CPU minus the 5mpx camera and flash. Comes with 4.2.2 stock so I would say it is on par or perhaps a little ahead of the S1,

I bough CameraZoom EX for my Smart Mini 4 as it has the ability to take pictures in the sensors native resolution of 2048x1536. The results is a bit better, less interpolation and compression artefacts are present in the images but the edges are a bit soft because of the cheap plastic lens.

Mine is still as new with protective silicon case if you are interest. Will also include some screen protectors soon as they arrive from HK.

PM if you want it.

Why are you selling it?

Not any good?

 

[Rouxenator]

It's brilliant, but I only bought it to see how much phone you get for R900, turns out plenty.

Seems like Vodacom updated the page to reflect that the phone does indeed have Wifi capability here

battery

I've had mine for a week now. Its draining battery at a shocking rate. I use it mainly for web surfing and less than 3 hours its flat. WiFi off, Bluetooth off, GPS off

 

[Rouxenator]

Mine has been in the drawer for a few weeks now, planning to give it to my sister since she currently has a Galaxy Pocket (S5300). I think that would be a good test for it since she does use her phone a lot and is pretty hard on phones. Just waiting for the screen protectors to arrive, just look how good the phone looks in its new red silicone casing :
