Gigabyte GSmart GS202 - User Reviews

  • this is amagine phone... for everyone...

  • As of two and a half year of ownership of Gsmart gs202, it finally started to touch the wrong parts on the screen. I have shifted to Lenovo P70. I will be keeping you posted with the latest news.

  • for the camera self timer: there is a small setting button on the left of the zoom scroller (opposite to the switch camera button). click on it and a menu will open in this menu click on the three dots. a menu will open, the third item is the self timer. You can choose with the arrow between off, 2 seconds and 10 seconds.

  • can someone please help me if you know of a series that mark for the screen of the GS202 and where and at what price can buy because it's not finding the internet maybe the screen corresponds to a different model of 4 "3 inches answer on [email protected]

  • PLZ, I can't find the camera self timer!! Anyone know how does it work??

  • Exactly the same problem for me

  • Has anyone managed to fix the connector anyhow?

  • Have this phone for two months now,for it's price (120eur) very good phone. With stock ROM everything ok. Had trouble finding recovery for phone but found it (Carliv) and is working. Then put 4.2.2 Slim rom and MIUI v5 . Fluid, responsive (as android can be -)) .

  • Hi there i'm from Cyprus 2, would like to know where did you bring for a service. I have the same phone and i have huge problem with signal, wherever i go i cannot call or send txt message

  • Hello everyone i have Gygabite GSmart 202 Smartphone and i have huge issue since the day i bought it. Low signal no netter where i go. I can barely send a message to someone. Anyone has a solution to this? Thanks

  • It is the best phone I ever had!Dropped it in a water,still working perfect :) I recommend it

  • Hi Guys , I have a GSmart GS 202, managed to brake the screen (first time in my life) but the support center here in Cyprus change the whole cover , front and back , in no time, cost cheap . The phone has great features and works great ( so far that is :) )

  • i find the phone is a heap of shite i can't seem to keep the signal and i can't make a call wen i need to i really wouldn't get dis phone again.

  • I also bought two. Connector failure for both within four months. Warranty refused. Were you able to repair it within warranty?

  • Phone is pretty OK, while working. I have bought two and both drop dead within four months: microUSB connector was damaged or desoldered from the mainboard. Have been using mobile phones for years and never ever needed a service. GSmart phones obviously have serious troubles with connectors! Repair: "piece of cake", the exchange of the whole mainboard, warranty refused, price the same as a new phone. GSmart: never again.

  • GS202+ rooted, CWM recovery and Android Jelly Bean 4.22 and everything works perfectly. And yes, Android is not for everyone...

  • This phone have language romanian?

  • 202 single core,202+ dual core

  • I have mine 202+ 5 months,so far no problem at all!

  • yes he have

  • it is very good mobile becouse of the as i looked and i have to take this mobile but i don't have sufficient money,i will get new gob then i will take,,,,,,,,

  • On they say it has the FM radio. It's that right? Has it?

  • Yes, you can root it. I rooted mine. If I remember correctly, I used Mobile Uncle for rooting.

  • gold.com.tr 499 tl

  • hi there..can anyone please tell me where is the best place to buy this phone here in Turkey? i'm new here don't know that much of the places here..thank you so much..

  • can I root it

  • Can I root this phone ???

  • Just bought it ...great value for money

  • is there backup battery for this phone?

  • It looks like a good phone at an acceptable price. Still on sale in Turkey

  • yes, you are right. it should be htc one s. device: als gsmart gs202+ os: android 4.0.4 cpu: 1GHz, dual core, gpu: imagination technologies powervr sgx531. camera 8 Mpix (3264x2448), video max: 1280x720 @30fps (max). it has a 4.3" screen but system info droid says it is a 3,89" screen, so in order to make the screnn to look bigger, they lowered the denslty. of the hardware.the camera andthe video cam do not reach their top performance. maybe after thesoftware update i hope. as i mentioned before, it is a good (not perfect) budget phone.

  • This is my GSmart GS202+ screen : Hardware : MT6577 Revision : 65fb8a00 CPU MT6577 is a Dual Core processor.

  • yea, "almost" the same size, lol. one x is 4,7" and this is 4,3"

  • This is a great phone has a dual processor good front camera for video p�ive battery as with all large-screen Android-1 to 2 days making great screen great, mana is a small ram and weak service in Serbia strengthened honest recommendation for GS 202 smart Sinisa

  • I own one since last week. The build quality is good. It is almost the same size as Htc One X., so I use the same screen protection film with small modifs. Though the processor seems a bit weak on the specs, it is enough for my own needs. No lags between pages or by zooming. The double sim for frequent travellers abroad is a plus, but some android apps fail to run on this system, because the programs cannot decide on which sim they should run. The 1500 mAh battery is not enough for high performance apps, so it drains every day. I switched from 3g to 2g, so the charge lasts for almost three days. On the spec sheet here on gsmarena it says that there is no radio, but it has a built-in fm radio, the reception is satisfactory but it runs. A good choice for a budget performance phone.

  • I had two devices from Gsmart. Some of my friends as well. Unfortunately the quality od Gsmart devices are very bad. A lot of troubles. Each device has visited service three times. Wrong USB connector, mic failure dust under LCD, speaker failure and others. Be carefull. I heard that failure percentage is counted of tents percentages !

  • google play yes. android 4.1 or 4.2 no.

  • So i shud buh this phone??

  • As far as I know this phone has: CPU: MediaTek MT6577 Dual Core 1GHz GPU: PowerVR SGX531 Just to let you know because these specifications are missing ;)

  • How about access to Google Play and upgrading the Android version to an upper one, are they possible?

  • I bought this model and it has dual core procesor...

  • some users are complaining about gs202 ,they said its going to blocking itself and no solution for this problem now and reseller stopped to sell this product at Turkey

  • this is more like a low end galaxy nexus.

  • Seriously... What if this phone is NOT about competing with the higher end ones? Can you actually get a phone with those specifications for the same price of this one? No. Do you think everyone can buy a high end phone? No. When a manufacturer makes a phone specifically to compete with the high end ones, believe me, they will make that pretty clear. This GSmart GS202 is going to be a pretty good phone for it's price. It's not made to compete with big high end ones, and so what if the hardware isn't the latest technology available? It's still pretty good, pretty reliable, pretty fast I'm sure...

  • for that price the specs are awesome, looks like a low end nexus 4...

  • 2010-specs for 2013! They need 1.5Ghz quad-core and 2GB of RAM coupled with at least 2500mAh battery runs on Jelly Bean 4.2 to compete with other brands.

  • try to use Antutu benchmark and u will see how many cores in astra , and it has 2 cores.

  • looks like StarMobile Astra but Astra's specs is better! 1ghz dual-core 8mp, mobile tv and more! -Philippines

  • but, this phone has single core cpu.

  • This a very nice and cheap smartphone. got long battery life and very quick response. This one cost below $270 at gsmart.me

  • Cherry Mobile Flare is a copy of Karbonn a9+ of India... It is Starmobile Astra for sure!!!

  • GSmart GS202 is amazing Android Dual Sim phone. i bought this phone through www.gsmart.me this is really wonderfull smart phone. Because of the Dual core Processer with 512GB RAM is very speed. I am really Happy about the performance of this phone

  • oh yes, this is Star Mobile Astra in the Philippines and not Cherry Mobile Flare

  • I think this is Cherry Mobile Flare in the Philippines...

  • maybe this is Starmobile Astra.. maybe they just made it up the dual-core processor and even the camera sensor.. hmmm what do you think?

  • i very much hope the price will stay below 350 $, or else, houston we have a problem...

  • it looks like Starmobile Astra here in the Philippines :) but only have a single core not dual core in Astra...

  • Its price is rated at the range of 7 piles of dollars from 10, that means it might be up to $500. What would make one to buy it? Low res screen, little ram, slow processor, small battery, below average camera ,... No chances.

  • The looks like a tech mobile, but why 1500mh for the battery. I guess that will mean charging this phone twice daily that is if U love being online a lot
