Gigabyte GSmart Roma R2 - User Reviews

  • Very good phone still using it, 6 years now. It's not slow, because it is rooted and heavily tweaked. Never dropped it once, no scratches. Out of box condition. Love it!!!

  • tjis phone lasts me for a 6 years :)

  • my battery also got bad..had to get a tecno battery for it. nice phone

  • Nice phone, I use it for 6 months now. Pros: clear and bright screen, battery decent (you must charge it nightly, and use it during daytime), fast interface, good design - rubberized, can survive being dropped (mine is still not broken after dropping it several times), it even got quite wet in the rain and it hasn't died, low cost of the phone Cons: external speaker is abnormally quiet - even on max volume, sometimes you can't hear it ringing in your pocket

  • Why does it have bad speaker pls answer?!

  • I m looking for battery for Gsmart Roma R2. plz anybody suggest me where can I get it. Thanks

  • Wonderful phone , fast processor etc but screen lights up in random times and lights off a second later without me teasing the phone or receiving something. Any idea why it does so?

  • Emi, you can buy it at 1a.lv

  • I use the R2 plus for one month now..it has 1 Gb Ram very fast cpu and it works great...no auto focus camera and the battery not good enough ... less than one day with normal use and the volume is not strong..for the price of 100 euros i bought it is value for money !!!

  • Any idea where I could buy this phone from?

  • Does anybody know where could I buy this phone from? I just lost one yesterday. I got it as a gift and can't find nowhere online where I could buy it :(

  • Have it for 3 months. HORRIBLE battery. Battery steadily drops to 45-50% and then phone is out of charge. Instant drop from 45% to 0%.. I had it returned to the dealer for repairs, might be a faulty battery. Bad still where was the quality check from the factory? Also 3.5 jack needs NOKIA!!! adapter to work with normal headphone and speakers(not included in the pack). Very bad main camera and useless front camera, just both bother to video chat with this phone. Speaker is not loud but at least it does its job. I like the screen, which is above average but still bad for an IPS. Bluetooth is V3 not V4 but WIFI is very good. Slim and pretty BUT the color is very cheap and chips away easily. Other than that good guality product for the money. You need a case ASAP, but good luck getting one. Your best bet is to buy a SONY XPERIA M case and modify it. They are Identical except the buttons layout. Very fast processor and 1GB of ram. Adequate for 95% of people. Will cover you for at least 2 years. My advise based on my experience, don`t buy, consider buying an Alcatel POP D5 or something similar. Much better overhaul experience.

  • I got phone 2 weeks ago, until now I didn't detect any issues. By standard using - calling, mails, ... no games, no music. My battery is running 5-6 days. Great phone with price like this

  • well it is a good phone to start with not too bad sha

  • great phone for the price,easy to handle and all one would need for a mobile, regards, Tony sadar. mindscope.ie

  • I used to have 2 days, with my usage (chat, endomondo, no music) but now i charge daily, and the phone is off 8h during night. Not too good, but i've seen worse.

  • If I constantly use wireless internet, how many hours withstand the battery? Thank you

  • Great phone for it's price, shame about the camera, low quality photos, uselles for barcode scans.

  • look nice..

  • Why don't they sell this in South Africa?

  • i dont care about the camera, the design is a must for this model and the build quality

  • baught via TCS (Pakistan) and using this phone since 3 months, very nice, slim and speedy. dual sim management is also handy. only drawback is the weak flash and poor snaps in dark.

  • what is the input pin for installing mobile data connection setting?

  • 1234

  • great phone with good look and super slim I m happy to buy this phone only one problem the battery but for normal use it goes for 2 days

  • front camera, is it good or ?

  • What will be the input pin Because I am tryung to do the setting asking me input pin

  • same as Xolo A500S IPS pictures

  • Weight: 125 g

  • I'm using this phone for one month and it is excellent. For 140EUR is worth of it. UI have only one question - if this phone have OTG support??

  • talk time less than 4 hours??? why ?

  • -does it work to surf the 3g internet during a phone conversation on the second line? -how about conference talk with both sim cards?

  • compari.ro for example as for other info - great camera, no lag, great phone. so far the only "-" would be the battery, else it`s exceptional.

  • Online from my country Romania,the price was somewere at 140 euro.

  • Does it have autofocus and how are the still shoots?

  • where online and at what price??

  • I bought it online,anyway it's a good phone for his price

  • go to the shop keeper and tell him to do it for u

  • correction that has a 512mb ram ...this has a 1 Gb ram...other than that no diff

  • one can at least get a customer support if they buy it from xolo...it is being sold as xolo a500s....for 5600Rs....

  • At his price is a good phone,i didn't have any problems until now. Battery life is approximately two days in normal use ,some calls,messages and wifi. Only problem is that i can't disable the vibration feedback from the three buttons. i disable all the vibration options but is still working, (sorry for my bad english:)
