Don't know if it has been mentioned already, but the phone doesn't have autorotation, so turning the screen lengthways does nothing.

I bought this for my mum yesterday and we found this out today.

God knows why they didn't include this feature. Typing I. portrait mode is really difficult with such a small display.
I managed to download an app that allows manual rotation, but my mum has never had a smart phone before and this certainly hasn't convinced her that the change was a positive move.

​I know. I only mentioned it as another person thought it was Android 7 that introduced the feature.

Android 6 allows you to use a memory card as internal storage. It helps a great deal (all Chrome downloads go directly to memory card too) but doesn't solve everything as some apps can only be installed to the physical internal storage :disappointed:

How could SD card support solve limited internal memory? Been a while since I used android but last I heard was it's only Android 7 that lets you 'absorb' an SD card into internal memory.

Yes, I'm p!$$ed!, I only bought this on the Weekend (Sunday late Evening just gone!, and collected only on Monday too ... ) for £19.99 as well?!, hmmmmmmmmm. :-(

I may just to get my reimbursement of me £5 man?, I'm glad I didn't buy more than 1 of these? (like I'd originally intended!). :-(

Will get 1 or 2 more at this price (before the price fluctuate's again ..... ) :-)

Looking for a first smartphone for my daughter. Any recommendations?

​Don't want her pals laughing at her.

as long as you don't have to use a Vodafone sim. seems like a good little second phone

I have a HTC Desire 516 which doesn't permit to move apps to the SD card so as such, I had to disable apps that originally came with the phone to make space. System App Remover (needs to be rooted) can remove those apps too if they're not needed.


Yep. Picked mine today and that was that.

yes and no credit to buy using fast track.

Not necessarily, whilst you can store your data and music etc on your SD card and port some apps, other apps need to be saved directly to the phones internal storage and with the OS already taking up some of the 4gb, you might have limited space warnings.

CS.. Customer service? Don't see why the need. You buy it and that's that.
It has 4GB internal storage so yeah it's not a lot but for small apps it'll do. SD card support solves it all anyway.

CEX buy them for £22 unlocked and you can get the codes on ebay for 99p.

Apps at your fingertips

Thanks to Android 5.1 Lollipop, you can download over 1 million apps from the Google Play Store. So you can enjoy everything from social media favourites like Facebook and Instagram to watching movies and playing games on the go.

Although with that memory you'll need to download them one at a time then remove them.

£15 now :smile:

This would be hot if the phone wasn't so dreadful. Mine was a complete waste of money.

I bought my nephews one each when they were £20. It's a really nice looking phone. I love how small it is. They mainly use it to watch YouTube on and to play a few games. Battery life isn't anything to write home about though :disappointed:

Can't find it mentioned anywhere, but 512mb RAM

Is it worth a root and clean of any bloat? For the money and software compatibility it might be a handy second device or for a youngster as an emergency phone..?
