Alright guys
I did not get a MyPhone product, or a Cherry Mobile Product or a Starmobile Product or even a Lenovo Product. Let me first explain why. I went to SM North after lunch time and the Cyberzone was filled with people itching to buy said phones well except for the Lenovo. I have looked at the kiosks and stores but the models that I did not like were not available. I also saw the service centers filled with people who are buying and having their phones checked for some issues. I did not interview further the people who had problems with some units (sinasadya ba nilang sirain? Di ba inaalagaan? Hehe) and I had a time constraint since we had to practice for the upcoming gig this weekend. This is my case and I have found a phone that I like in terms of look, feel and I just like it the moment I touched it.
Sir’s and Mam’s, Ladies and Gentlemen, Jazzers and Shredders, to the people who helped me decide and tore my heart on what to get 3:D
I bring you…
The Kata i1 Smartphone
http://www.katadigital.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=58from the site. Have no good camera with me right now to take pics.
Design: I am a big guy but I do not really like 5inch phones, 4.5 pwede na,4 inch ideal since nasanay ako sa iTouch
looks like most of the smartphones today but is as thick as idk maybe 6-7 one peso coins. Looks thick but it does not feel thick since it is concaved a bit rather than flat. For me, I like it and it looks elegant with just 3 physical buttons (volume and lock/power) and the three screen buttons (menu,home back). Ayos na for me hehe
Performance: Naka ICS pa siya 4.0.4, which to me not a real biggie, may update man o wala, ok lang. Dual core so for HD games, meron lag dapat right? Well I tried Dead Trigger HD and it worked smoothly after killing some apps(downloaded a bunch of stuff since 10:00 am, paused around 5pm and resumed around 9pm) Battery naman, I think good enough for my usage but sabi ng website talk time 5 hours and standyby 500 hours? Too good to be true, so to be fair, half a day bago ma drain yung battery with heavy usage (wifi on, gaming and standby) idk, ganun para sa akin ang putting strain on this dual core. Camera is nice man. Walang sawa sa kakapicture sa aming alagang pusa hehe. Ano pa keya… The screen responsive enough kahit sweaty kamay ko(must be the screen protector) Internal memo usable upto 2gb ata. Expandable up to 32gb. Sound quality sa stock camera app is good enough for my uses. Think those audience viewpoint quality recording. Did I miss anything pa ba?
Verdict: It is honestly overall a good phone. Did not really notice the differences in other phones I tried during my search and for me, I like haha It is to par with the local popular phones we have and what the forumites suggested me to get. I think the specs of the said phones are getting closer na to one another since barely noticeable na ang mag differences, the price tag and look nalang siguro vary form the performance but for me, this phone is for me. Any questions I would be glad to answer since I made this review at freaking 1:00 am and beyond haha and I am going to sleep now. Thank you Philmusic peeps. Till next time. Hopefully yun na yung age na hologram phones nah and what not haha.
