A Good Compact Phone, with stock Android, but Pathetic Display and Camera
Posted: Feb 01, 2016, 4:55 PMPhone owned for less than a year
I have had this phone for eight to nine months, bought it after a nightmarish software experience with Galaxy S4 I9500. Initially I loved the phone, even with mediocre hardware it was clear than stock Android is so much lightweight and smooth than any skinned Android. Every day tasks were smooth and fluid, the software was stable as hell, very minimal lags for day to day tasks. Call quality was simple excellent. But then I started to get annoyed by its below average and very inconsistent camera performance, especially under daylight. The colours were just way too over-saturated, unreal! Anyway, I knew that the camera would be not good, so that's no biggie. But the biggest disappointment for me was its display. No, it was not the over blown colours of the first gen Samsung AMOLED panel, but it was the quality of the panel itself. I could, even with my naked eyes, clearly spot vertical/horizontal (don't remember!) lines on the display, I thought at first that I was seeing it wrong, some kind of placebo, but no, those lines were very real, I was shocked, stunned, that a phone in 2014 could have that much of a poor display. That thing was the main reason for me to ultimately sell it. It was no way for me an adjustment I could simply make. And finally, there was this yellowish tint on the white back cover too, it just appeared from nowhere, no, my hands are not oily, nor it was dust, but it must had something to do with the back material's connection with the humidity of air, don't know, whatever it was it was bad.
All in all, a phone which really impressed me software wise, but its hardware, especially the display, and the below average material and camera was just too much and definitely not a phone for me. In fact now when I see the new Moto X phones it still scares me to think whether these new phones have same kind of display or not, I am sure they don't, but the nightmare I had, well only I could feel it.
