The phone packs lots of impressive specs but there is a flaw in the battery capacity which should have been stepped up a bit.
ReplyDeleteSome minor editing needs to be carried out.
thanks for the lovely update.
ReplyDeleteNougat how has 7.1? 😮....how can I know when my phone refuses 2 get 7.0 update
ReplyDeleteNice one wizy!
Which phone r u using?
DeleteSamsung note 4
DeleteThanks for always coming up with inspiring updates like a follow up to this one
ReplyDeleteThanks for Your lovely update
ReplyDeleteThe phone has a poor features especially the battery capacity, no need for me to wait for the price because it waste of money
ReplyDeleteHussaini like Paul said the only set back i see here myself is the battery capacity,the phone isn't a waist of money bro, because of the processor you need more good battery capacity.
DeleteYou are right Paul.
DeleteI was just admiring ds wondaful phone specs until I got in contact with d battery capacity... No nah dahz kinda poor for a phone wid a huge en nice specs
ReplyDeleteYes the battery is too poor for the phone eteng
Deletethe phone is nice but the battery capacity is low.atleast it should have been step up a little.from look I know it will be a nice phone.but I pray that it will be affordable by the ordinary men.thanks
ReplyDeleteYou will agree with me that Since all fingers are not equal, not everyone should use a high-end smartphone. You can always cut your coat according to your size.
DeleteJust poor battery nothing else
ReplyDeleteThose of you always complaining about battery capacity should know that not all devices are made for solely for African markets, for an average user in developed countries this battery is more than than OK.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you here but we are all saying this simply because of the nature of our epileptic power supply.
DeleteAlcatel are known for producing phones with poor battery.. They have produced phones of over 3000mah
ReplyDelete@Ibrahim
DeleteYou stand to be corrected on this your comment.
You had wanted saying that they have never produced phones of over 3000mah but let me show you Alcatel phones with over 3000mah battery capacity. They are:
1. Alcatel A50 3100mah
2. Alcatel Flash 3100mah
3. Alcatel Pixi plus power 5000mah.
Thanks for airing out your opinion.
If you need the source of my information as shown above, i can easily provide it to you.
Deletei think it okay sha
ReplyDeleteYeah it's okay but if the battery is not fully optimized, then there's gonna be a serious problem of charging it every now and then.
