Nice. But if it has got a k@k screen then meh. There are some really nice priced devices out there with very good screens for the price you are paying. One of the reasons why I would not touch that Mint Mobile devices. Resolution is really bad. bleh.

mmmm just had a look on their website. The Air phone actually looks pretty nifty.

Battery is a bit gagga.

Looks like a blatant copy of an Xperia...

I think you might get phones on Orange etc for the same price with better battery? Will have to have a look.

I would still rather go for the Huawei. Besides, from what I understand octa vs quad dont always mean better performance?

Besides, octa chip with a 2100mAh battery? That aint going to end well I would say.

The Octa is also clocking higher so in this case its faster.Also a 4,8 inch screen with 720p screen resolution is fine but on a 5,5 inch you can easily notice pixels.

As for the battery it should last a day minimum with decent usage,2100mah isn't poverty spec for a 4,8 inch screen,it will depend on how the phone is optimized.
