alcatel Pixi 3 (4) - User Reviews

  • No point

  • Avoid this phone at all costs. With only 512 MB of RAM and a 1.0 Ghz Dual Core processor it's a source of frustration to any user. It's painfully slow, even when you root it, you press anything and have to wait 10 or 20 seconds to get a response from the screen. Plus it never received the planned upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Alcatel, which is a brand of TCL China, is well known for deceiving customers, even bundling malware and adware in their phones. Avoid ANY phone from Alcatel or TCL. I don't know how this phone behaves with a custom ROM but, given that the specs are so poor, if it can't run stock Android 4.4 properly you can be sure it will struggle to run pretty much anything.

  • I tried to record a call that I received and I got it ... Now I need to know where to locate the audio file of that call and that I can not do it. It's an alcatel onetouch pixi 3 (4).

  • 7/10. Its good only if you root it and flash a custom rom.

  • It is horrible !! I hate it because it is very very very slow ...

  • Put finger and hold on the message and a list of options will appear, one of which is delete! Hope this helps:-)

  • The only way to get out of safe mode on a Alcatel pixi 3(4) is to do a hard reset, press the power button and volume up at the same time and a sub menu will appear, go down to hard reset and press yes and the phone will reset itself to "Factory settings" But make sure all your stuff is backed up first ! I've had my Alcatel pixi 3(4) for 18 months now and l truly Hate the piece of crap!

  • Horrible! Everything went crazy. First thing to come up is camera. Called tech support. They re-started it-lost all my data. Got it put back in and wrong #'s popping up on contacts. Can't hang up while it's dialing-no "phone" showing to hang it up. Then it went into "SAFE MODE", CAN'T find out how to get out, and no tech support on week-ends or after hours!!! Anyone know how to get out of "safe mode"??

  • I am so frustrated with this phone!! My screen is locked I can recieve calls but unable to make calls. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • The Wiko is better? This phone is not a crappy piece. Stop.

  • Oh dear... Please wait Christmas and get a different one.

  • since getting this phone i cant use it. cant remove emergency calls only even tho i have credit and data package bought for this phone. have it only a few days but seriously thinking of selling it on as its of no use to me if i cant make calls on it

  • Don't buy this phone, don't even accept one for free. I promise you, the lag can be up to 15 seconds using apps and keyboard. I guarantee you will be filled with evil and furious anger if you have to rely on this plastic piece of annoying crap. Trust me please.

  • I just wish I had bought the Wiko phone instead. I HATE this phone! It sucks completely. I bought it based on Alcatel's promise (clearly announced next to the phone on the store) to upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop (which Alcatel NEVER did, making them LIARS and deceivers of their customers, and because it has a removable battery. OMG! I'm regretting that move till this day... After 1 and a half year, the KingoAndroidRoot apk was able to root it, so at least that. A friend of mine had one Alcatel One Touch but with much better specs than this and after 3 years her phone just died. Yeah that's right: Alcatel products SUCK! Just DON'T BUY anything with the Alcatel brand on it. Specially this piece of crap phone.

  • press square bbox and get sub menu

  • This is a cheap phone and expectations should not be high. Having said that, I really like it. I bought it as a stop-gap measure when my Samsung went missing and don't regret it. THe basic screens are really easy to navigate. Battery life is a couple of days if you are not using it too much, touch pad easy to use. The only thing that is slow. If all you want is a handheld to make phone calls, tap into the internet and take the occasional photo it's great. Now that I have my Samsung back, I've chosen to keep using the pixi 3. I'm so sick of running out of battery!

  • Worst phone i've ever seen. I prefer to have NO phone than having this phone.

  • After having this phone for six months and rarely using it for calls and do not go on the internet ,I basically only text with it ,the battery doesn't keep its charge for more than two days .I have called the company four times and each time they are going to send me a new battery ,it has been four months since my first call and and still no battery .Every call is the same ,they verify my address and tell me I will receive a battery in 7-10 business days .Needless to say I do not recommend this phone or this company

  • OK , so my friend still uses this phone after 2 years and very rare it closes at 90% battery life.The touchscreen is the same - horrible and very unresponsive (what to except from a TFT).He hates the internal storage - 2GB is too less for him.I think the rating should be about 7/10.

  • how do we unlock a lock screen

  • The phone works pretty ok but the touchscreen is terrible.If you want a phone to draw , get a Note 5 (Don't get the 7 cuz that one explodes) However , his phone runs pretty fast in my friend's smartphone (probably luck) but after 2 years of use sometimes it closes.

  • How do u delete messages?? Or edit the names and numbers of contacts?

  • The Alcatel pixi 3(4) is the 1st Android phone I've owned and l can't say it's been a great introduction! This email phone feels cheap and works like a cheap phone! But for some(myself included) the more expensive so called smart phones are out of reach so I'm stuck with the way pixi-3 for the time being! Grrrrr

  • try that this does not work.

  • Anytime that I get a Cellphone, I just download an app for Flashlight as there are so many great apps for that for Android Cellphones. :D

  • Really bad choice. Very slow with simple tasks. The service already changed it's motherboard because it was faulty (under 20% battery it kept dropping 1% per second until it closed) It worked for about a month and the same happens again. I am too bored to spend another hour dealing with the shop I bought it and wanting refund for 50€. Just don't buy it if you want use of phone, sms, viber and facebook. Not worth your broken nerves

  • how could i upgrade my alcatel pixi 3(4)

  • This is a great little phone (offered by Safelink Wireless in California--the famed "Obama Phone") compared to the Coolpad 3300a (another "Obama Phone") that Assurance Wireless offers. Even though the specs of the Pixi 3 and the Coolpad 3300a are nearly identical, the quality of the Pixi 3 is much better. The Pixi 3 is much more responsive, the camera (2MP just like the Coolpad) is of higher quality, and it includes some features not found in the Coolpad 3300a, such as GPS and an FM radio; in all it's just a snappier phone. I could tell the difference between the two right away. The only thing I dislike about the Pixi 3 is the size. It's smaller than the Coolpad 3300a by about 1/2", but what it lacks in size the Pixi 3 makes up for in quality. Anyway, you can't beat free ;)

  • I agree and I can't delete contacts that's on the phone

  • Is it upgradable to lollipop?

  • My new pixi 3.5 keeps telling me that the time and date are wrong, so I can't access wsap very frustrating, as they are both correct.

  • When I receive a phone call, it rings but the lcd will take a minute to show me the answer option and the other party will have hanged up along timw ago. I've tried best apps such as du speed, clean master to move installed files to memory card, but the option is not there, this phone ruins my day everyday. I regret buying it.

  • Good things about this device: 1)Loud speaker 2)Nice animations, nice theme 3)Clear enough screen for 4 inches 4)Durable Negative things about this device: 1)Extremely slow 2)Poor battery life 3)Too many bugs in firmware 4)Cheap feeling 5)Cheap design 6)Terrible camera with poor menu and not strong flashlight, that flashes at the wrong time when taking photos I am really disappointed with this device.

  • a message should come up on the phone to mount the usb and then after mounting the phone you can then choose to transfer files or just usb charge

  • you either hold down the caller id and edit to delete or you go to the contacts and edit from there

  • yes it has got gps

  • Yes,

  • Hi can anyone tell me where the save key is please

  • it is equipped with gps ?

  • How to delete contacts.Thanks!

  • Go to contacts then select the number Touch the square button in the right bottom corner of phone Select set ringtone

  • Is compatible with MHL?

  • menu,apps,file manager, and open

  • ALCATEL PIXI 3 (4) to me it is a very fast phone i have ever use but my problem is that i can't find my vault.

  • I'd appreciate it better if my phone could recall already stored numbers on my phone and allow me choose whether to install on my phone memory or on the external storage card

  • never!!! cos your device is come with 4GB of internal storage which is divided into 2GB for android system and 2GB for user,and that means that there is not enough internal memory which can not be upgraded with the sd card. just to know, 5.0 lolipop it's no ordinary update first uninstall KitKat os, and then install a completely new android 5.0 lolipop and this process takes 3-6 hours because its size follows; Android 5.0 (ignoring the SD card) consists of the following 3 partitions: 1. mmcblk0p23, for System, 2.9GB 2. mmcblk0p24, for Cache, 1.0GB 3. Swap, 1.2GB (equivalent to the Windows "virtual memory" file, for instance) Their sum is 2.9 + 1.0 + 1.2 = 5.1GB Android 5.0 is 5.1GB if you use these "default" partition sizes. This means that you need at least 8GB of internal memory to nstall 5.0 lolipop

  • Slow with little Storage Once with more rules way faster. When is lolypop comeing out?

  • gonna drive my car over it in a few total crap

  • Absolutely crap. Dont be fooled by the quad core processor. Force closes almost every app, is extremely laggy and battery sucks. Better off spending another $40 and getting a vodafone smart prime.

  • I've been trying to set a song that is appropriate for my girlfriend when she calls me but I can't seem to get it right, I'm having trouble with it big time what can I do that is easy.

  • When i set a wellpaper it not come to medil

  • Dude its not an S7

  • connected to the PC via USB cable , then pull the screen from top to bottom and it opens up menu here choose, usb storage and Mark.

  • howcan i connect to my comp used cable but no connection

  • plss tell me why my pixi camera is 2MP. what can I do?

  • l do enjoy the phone and l have one,but the two slots are locked and l have used all the trials and they are permanently locked,pleasel need your help to unlock them.

  • When this can be update to Lollipop 5.0?

  • The sim docket got damaged and I can't seem to find where to replace it.

  • I want to set my phones VPN settings and am always asked the password for credential storage.

  • A small smartphone. Camera quality is low in both cameras, so don't expect to get great photos from it. However, if someone can set up some lite apps and add a sd card (and set it as main storage) then the phone will work for basic users. It does have a flash light and it does have a front camera for video calls via facebook. Whatsapp does work, even calls via whatsapp do work with it. Swipe keyboard does work. Dialer + improved the way to add and search contacts. It does work fine with any podcast app, though I only tried Podcast addict free (which I recommend for most devices). Battery: It's ok, it's not great. It wears out fast, a day of regular usage at most. If you use your screen bright and use the phone for browsing, reading, messaging, etc; well... you'll need a power source like your charger or a battery block extra. So, should I buy this phone? For rookie not-ambitious users (after someone else takes care of setting everything up) will do fine. For any other kind of users whom may expect camera quality, no delays, etc. Don't. You'll hate it.

  • If you swipe the key pad to the right you can change the settings of how small or big you want the key board to be.... Very easy to fix!!

  • unable to move pictures in gallery

  • VERY disappointed! Do not buy! Poor quality camera (no-where near normal 5MP - poor resolution). Keypad keys too small and inaccurate, no magnet for compass apps, hangs, often touch does not respond. Poor instructions. Spark NZ refused to take back or upgrade.

  • I have one of these lovelies. And its amazing how many people confuse it for an iPhone.

  • the phone is just the best!

  • Pixi3 (4) has great color resolution and ultra-light weight. The cameras equally great. But the down sides are the gps which never gets satelite signals, and the battery which drains so fast in active use. I lost 20 percent of my batter power under 30 munites during initial configuration.

  • the only way your contacts names will show is if they have the caller ID switched on, on their phones :)

  • the only way your contacts names will show is if they have the caller ID switched on, on their phones :)

  • switch on your data. mms only works using data

  • This phone has all my contacts stored with their names but only displays them as the number. There seems to be no way of deleting a missed call without answering it - and I refuse to answer unsolicited sales calls. Neither can I find how to delete texts or call history despite reading the instruction leaflet 5 times. I've been sold a load of complete rubbish and will now have to pay to get my old phone unlocked so I can use it on my new network. Absolutely disgusted!

  • How do you get mms to work??. As had this bleeping ph for awhile

  • afdfsdfzadwrffbthsf thig of

  • How do you get the phone to reconise the caller even if the caller is in the phones phone book???? This is driving me mad!!!! Help!!!

  • I want to know if this phone support musical.ly

  • I have one and confirm yes it does.

  • I want to know if this phone support Whatsapp

  • Ho do I enlarge texting letters to send message as wrong letters keep writing. Very frustrating. Also how to delete messages from other people.

  • How to get a me number?

  • how do u disable the word prediction keys above the default keybord?

  • These phones have 4GB internal & up to 32GB internal memory and if you want yo use this phone for games , movies ,etc or even to use the inbuilt google apps ,you can't use this phone because it simply cannot handle doing anything faster than I can take a jog around the block once the inbuilt memory is full,which takes no time at all to fill. The only way I've found to make this phone slightly useful is to download ROOTKING & Root the device and get rid of the useless inbuilt apps, which frees up some space, i think by the Rootking download you also get an app called PURIFY ,if not it is best to download that app too. **So firstly follow the instuctions on Rootking,they are very basic and easy to follow to root the device , once you root the phone ,use the rootking app to delete any useless inbuilt app. If ur not sure what will happen if you delete a certain app ,you should only disable it first. Once you have deleted the garbage,run Purify and you should notice an incredible change to the speed of the phone ect. Best thing I ever did as I have the exact phone Use the purify app everyday to clear the phones cache and junk files ,Purify also stops ANY AND ALL apps from running in the background and you can finally use the phone for the one thing at a time purpose you're needing it for without 20 or so other apps interfering with the only one app your wanting to use ! It's bizzare & totally crazy that everyone who purchases one of these has the exact same issues as each other like , slow to open apps , phone is slow altogether. apps do not respond ect: No wonder I paid only $19 AU for this paperweight. It's not really even worth $19 AU ,my SD card cost more than the phone ! As the old saying goes..."you pay for what you get" & this is somewhat true with this phone as I still beleive I paid too much for it as it has been a headache from day one. Good luck & happy rooting !! If you need any further help just reply to this I guess. Cheers.

  • To delete a contact: 1-Select it 2-Make a short tap in the capacitive menu key (the square key) 3-Select "delete contact" Regards.

  • how can I wipe private password from my alcatel pixi 3

  • Alcatel Pixi 3(4) originally cannot read external usb drive???? I want to plug in my usb / pendrive through the charger connector, but it won't read... Can it be changed? Or we cannot plug external usb drive on the phone at all? Thank you in advance to whoever can answer this... :(

  • Bought one from K-Mart (OPTUS network) for $24 AU - cost $1.49 to unlock online ($80 from OPTUS) purchased ALDI - Mobile (uses the Telstra network) and have an amazingly cheap spare phone. Works well for a basic phone

  • Deleting Contacts....GRRRRR !! I have read previous posts and comments about deleting contacts and can see others have talked about this problem but can't seem to find any answers I'm looking for. This should be one of the most simplest of actions on any mobile phone that exists or has existed.....but this phone has me STUMPED & it's about to take itself on a little journey into space with dire consequences upon landing... So over this....please help me. There is no little square at the bottom of each contact to edit or delete,there are 4 options on each contact And they are......... 1. CALL. 2.VIDEO CALL. 3.TEXT MESSAGE. 4.ASSIGN TO GROUP. They Are my only options i have no matter what I do or try !! Anyone having the same issues & can anyone please help me... Cheers, Slumstraya.

  • Slide to the left (instead to the right) to unlock the phone... Hope this helps

  • Put it in a tub of raw dry rice and put the lid back on. Should suck the moisture away. Hope that helps you

  • Thanks for this, tried everything but couldn't figure it out and now sorted.

  • It is worth for its price, it can be used, but comapring to Pop C1 or D1 it's worse than they are! Pros: -its price Cons: -it's slower to use, slower menu scrolling, slower reaction when pushing the three handling buttons -worse speaker quality when talking, it pushes the voice back, others in your environment can hear your conversations. -very bad quality pictures it makes, no sharp parts at all even if you stand still. Well, for about 30$ it's ok.

  • Hello..anyone know when this phone will receive the lollipop update?

  • You purchased a sub par phone.

  • pls. post your software of alcatel4024e system, we want to know the updating of 4024e., pls...

  • Send it back, it's faulty, mine has no such problem, but it does take a while to load from off. If left on standby the current drain is absolutely minimal and then it's instantly available.

  • My phone has not worked properly since I bought it it is really slow to respond to anything I do on it can any one help?

  • probably the last application you 're installing and using the camera , these applications turn the camera on

  • Hi. I was wondering why every time I open the telephone the camera pops up. I have to press the "back" button in order to go to the main menu. For instance if the last application I used was the calculator, when I unlock the telephone the camera is open.. Is there a way to overcome this issue? Thanks

  • Just edit the listing using the back key. hold an it will do the job.

  • Had the same problem but finally solved. 1. Select "people" 2. click on your contact 3.press the square (bottom right) 4. Delete or edit as required Any problem email me. [email protected]

  • ''LG'' phones are with best menu. ok select icon people (contacts) in custom view then press menu button (soft key ) down right corner and it show new menu , so here press delete.

  • Can anyone help me? I want to delete some phone contacts but I can't find out how to do it in the instruction, and there doesn't seem to be a options button. Have only just bought the phone, and I must say it isn't as easy to use as my old LG. Help me please.

  • let send you images via Viber , so you can use them as you wish . the second question there android applications for photo \ video recovery seeks to play store . but it is better and faster through the pc you have free pc applications. icare data recovery and many other

  • I know this is the opinion section but I couldn't find anywhere else to ask and have 2 questions about the phone 1.) How do I save pictures people have sent me in text? Yesterday my bf text me a couple selfies and I would like to save them on my phone but the only options it seems to give me are to set as contact photo or set as lockscreen, gallery or google+ wallpaper. 2.) Is there a bin folder or anything I can use to recover photo's/videos I have deleted? Thanks in advance :)

  • I just wanted to help you, but that's something else the real problem. can be if you do ROOT - Flash Rom - or if you update the software that is not authorized , means something on your own is not signs of firmware , But if any of this are not done and if it is under warranty period, then you are entitled to a free service . If all this does not help , then sell it and buy something better with at least 1 \ 2 gb of ram and 8 \ 16gb rom and 5 ' ' display . will be 100 times better

  • Just scanned with the one you said and there was no Trojans found. It was clean.want a refund and go buy a better phone.

  • Just scanned with the one you said and there was nothing found.

  • Put the 360 security on my phone day one.

  • WAIT !!! Before you throw out the phone at the wall read this; phone is infected with a virus Trojan , so go to the 'play store' and download ''stubborn trojan killer'' , run and kill trojans , and later will be as good as new. am waiting for your answer !

  • MI am ready to throw this phone at the wall. I hate it. Would never buy Another one. Have to press end call about 3-4 times. Just as I was ending a call it we t to camera, playing a game it keeps getting adds ppop up, press the back button half dozen times or any he other buttons to get out of the pp and it goes to something else or press to open an app and get something else. So over it. Have only had it for about 8 weeks of that. Think I will take it back and get a refund.

  • Formate

  • 512mb ram - 356mb running = 156remains free . and can not each application to be transferred to the sd card, and when the applications in the sd card then slows the phone .

  • If this phone has 156mb ram,is it possible to save apps to an sd card on this model?

  • I lost mine today :( it was like my lil go-to phone. It should be great for a young kid.

  • Yes you can set alarm

  • sincerely; much better with 1GB ram , and 5 '' display,

  • I am about to buy my son this phone and he loves to watch his nursery rhymes over YouTube. Will there be any issues if I choose this phone? I recon it only has 512mb RAM.

  • delete all SMS messages , and Viber messages, restart the phone

  • I keep o getting a message on my alcatel pixi 3 that the sim card is full. What should I do ?

  • dear madam , this problem rarely happens but if you are sure that the defect of the phone then it is best to contact an authorized service center. Now I do not know how old is your son , but I would like to point out that perhaps this phone does not meet the needs of your son , because we know that children love to play games , but these new games are seeking bigger and bigger performances, that means newer and expensive phones and his friends are missing to have a better phone that can support these games , so i advise you to examine the case, because I was in the same situation - my first daughter complained that the phone loses signal , I can not get it because loses network and finally told us her phone stolen (or so she told us) to the end to get a new and better phone

  • This is mom.. our son has this phone and recently having issues and is only 2 months old..he is having issues with the sound.some times we cannot hear him and not know why..

  • I bought a pixi 3 for a friend it kept phoning contacts on its own Optus sent it back to you you repaired it sent it back same thing happened also kept cutting phone calls off its back with you am waiting to get it back

  • I didn't download the anti virus but took it back to where i bought it now they are telling me that it is liquid damaged.

  • virus - trojan go to playstore and download ''CM SECURITY'' Only with this application you can get rid of viruses and Trojans then come back here to tell whether it helped

  • I bought this phone on 10th January 2016 today on 20th January 2016 it hanged completely. I am so pissed off completely.

  • adrian there may be a misunderstanding seems to have salesmen right if you have your old phone and it shows you the contacts does not mean that the contacts stored in the SIM card , but they are in the old phone memory now you need to transfer it all contacts to a new sim cart to behold a new SIM to put in your old phone and transfer all the contacts in it then remove the SIM from old phone and put in a new phone now all contacts are there

  • your question is unintelligible but if you ask for SwiftKey then the button labeled X in the lower right corner

  • To delete old messages on this stupid phone, you need to open messaging , then in down - left or right- corner press menu button ,and you see delete messages ,select one or more and press in up bin icon to delete , Pretty simple for such a dumb phone, Android smart or (stupid) phone Enjoy and explore

  • Do root on your phone, and leaves the door open in operating system and eventually become a victim of the virus that will take overos of the phone and after the phone becomes a brick and you will do complain about how this phone is the worst of all. also that when you do a root then you lose guarantee of the phone . for you to make more rom space , then delete some of the applications you dont use and those that are in the system can not be explicitly deleted , but you can do disable facebook , messenger , snapchat , etc running in the background and are the largest consumer of RAM emory and battery

  • how do you remove old messages on this stupid phone?

  • how do you delete unwanted numbers baffled cant find the option anywhere

  • Yes u can remove apps u dont want

  • When I bought my Pixie 3 Alcatel phone last week last week I asked shop girl to load on to new SIM card my old data from my ancient cell=-phone: contacts etc. Now I get message that my SIM card is full, yet I can find no contact list, and only six old text messages from September. Been back twice to shop, and each time a different staff member tells me SIM card is empty, and it does not hold old text messages. I keep telling them they are wrong, and ask them to load "full" SIM card on to their computer and check it, but they tell me they cannot do that! What can I do? Adrian at and 027 5422167

  • So far I have done everything with this phone you can do with a Galaxy and more. One thing and this because it is a tracfone I can't factory unlock it. I have rooted it loaded it with over a hundred songs plus recordings off the radio feature. I have more apps then you can count three times over on yours hands and toes. The camera is just okay. Has a nice little iPhone 5 kind of feel. Lightweight to light for me. But really good phone for the price. I am a phone buff, I buy/sell/repair. I'm sad to say I am selling it. It has been a good lil buddy.&#128542;

  • Dumb question probably - how the hell do I edit or delete contacts on this nasty little device?

  • Where i live this unit is sold around $65. But mine came free w/ a contract.

  • Watsapp and twitter came pre-installed with my pixi 3 (4), may differ with your region though.

  • LOL, thats the first thing i noticed too, the vibrating body. :D Definitely a kids phone or secondary phone.

  • can i get wasapp, twitter and how much is the price.

  • Sorry for the dumb question but, does this phone support japanese language? Like changing it to that language or even recognizing those characters? Because i'd like to buy this phone for the primary reason of studying japanese on the go using the Anki app. Thanks in advance :)

  • Messing with it for few days now. Bottom line: I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! (except for a toy / second emergency phone) Processor: Average (ok if doing only ONE task) Battery: Average (ok if you leave it alone!) Screen: Average (not the best contrast, but you get what u pay for) Camera: Average (it takes photos! That's it! oh... it has a flash! :-) Worst thing is the construction! Plastic feel all over, like a kid's toy, but the annoying thing is that the phone itself feels like a GONG!!! Everytime you TAP it, you feel the vibrations all over the phone's body... TERRIBLE! (no... it's NOT the vibrating key mode!). I don't know if its a problem of this one i have, i just tested a PIXI 3 (4.5) and it does not vibrate all over the body like this PIXI 3 (4). It makes me wonder if there is THAT much difference in body construction. After all, the consumer is expecting to get the same quality over the PIXI 3 line (except for the hardware differences, off course!)

  • Try returning it to Sun, i think you can ask for a replacement if its still covered by a unit warranty, w/in 7 days replacement period maybe? :)

  • agreed, the dual core version is laggy, even compared to my dual core samsung tab 2 (2012 model).

  • The alarm tone seems to be pre-set, I can't seem to change it.

  • Especially the Pixi 3 model logo looks very close to PIXI3 software company logo (http://www.pixi3.com)

  • just bought this from a friend. BRANDNEW. excess through a rebate in his suncell plan. but now the USB PORT in NOT WORKING, so definitelty i can't CHARGE and USE IT, and have to make an effort to go to their service center.

  • Does this handset have fixed dialling?

  • My father extended his contract and get this one for free,i replaced my old galaxy xcover,but i'm dissapointed,that means some of xcover functions are better than this for example:i download antutu benchmark and tells me is 3 mp camera but no autofocus and xcover have 3 mp with autofocus and led flash not so bright

  • The dual core version is so slow, laggy. interface is not responsive nor smooth. Maybe if this was on gingerbread or jelly bean, this phone will be awesome. Call is OK, once you already swipe the accept call button. :( Anyway this is free from plan 350, what can you expect???

  • yes you can.dwnload kingroot apk and follow the instruction

  • Why's the RAM so damn small ?! T`T At least 1GB lol

  • his a great phone with a great price

  • Too bad with small ram.Other specification just on par..
