They may have some bodgied up unofficial install of Android (had that on a cheapish Tablet) Most likely have a crappy display, perhaps unreadable outside?? Its a $160 gamble , it may end up being a good ph. |

| 1360158 | 2013-11-19 23:42:00 | It may look vaguely like an S4 mini, but technically they're quite different. If you want a cheap phone, go for it. Don't expect an S4 Mini. Junkheap: Dual-core 1.3GHz, 512MB RAM, 4.3" @ 480x854, 4GB Internal S4 Mini: Dual-core 1.7GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 4.3" @ 540*960, 8GB Internal Personally, if I were going to get a cheap knock-off phone, I'd at least get a Xiaomi one ;) |
