BEST ANDROID BUDGET PHONE?

HTC 1m9 and Galaxy S six what about budget phones not everyone can afford a seven hundred dollar phone

today I'm gonna be talking about a phone that cost just a tad over a hundred fifty dollars

so without further ado let's get started mid this is the PC pro made by your phone

if you've never heard a bit don't be surprised the company is based out of China

and like many china-based companies the trying to make a name for themselves

on paper the be pro has pretty decent specs compare to what

current flagship phones have actually this phone a year ago today

would probably still be considered a flagship device

so what do you get for a hundred and sixty dollars while you get a farm with

the removal twenty six hundred million battery

two gigs up Graham a 64-bit quad-core CPU running at 1.5 gigahertz

16 gigabytes of onboard storage which is expandable to 32 gigs using a micro SD card

has a dual SIM tray with standard and micro and you also get ltée support to

all this is fitted into a body that sports a five and a half inch display running at 7:20 P

oh yeah also through any screen protector which was perfectly installed

and you won't even know it's there in less use of the cut-out at the very top  of the phone

now when you compare this phone to its biggest competitor to the Moto GP

the second generation which goes for about a hundred and eighty dollars

this is actually better value business phone

really that good I mean let's face it most these of name brands really look good on paper

when you finally use them in the real world well

tell a different story let's start off with the build quality

the designer this phone looks really similar to the one plus one

in fact they even sell a sandstone texture cover

which I think it's funny if you put them side by side you'll have to do a double

take to make sure which ones which

the phone itself feels and looks great I really have no complaints about it and

forth on that cost under 200 dollars I'm actually quite impressed

the button placements are in there ideal location

and are easy to locate while using it the back is smooth not slippery and

although it's made of plastic it doesn't feel cheap like older Samsung devices

the back is also slightly curved so it's comfortable to hold even for a five and

a half inch phone

which for some it's still too big the speakers are located towards the bottom

on the backside and are actually pretty loud

they're not the best sounding speakers in terms of quality but they're not

terrible either

the display has a resolution of 1280 by 720 N with

quad HD phone starting to be the norm it seem so backwards

to even consider such a low resolution but in reality you have to be about six

and a half inches away from the phone

to even notice any pixels so I wouldn't really call is a deal breaker

overall the display looks good the viewing angles are also good

the colors and saturation are actually pretty good when watching movies or

playing video games the experience was enjoyable

once again for a hundred and sixty dollars it definitely exceeded my

expectations

the main rear camera is a 13 megapixel shooter which is also capable of

capturing 1080 p video

has an app 2.2 aperture to help in low light situations

but my experience with the camera was okay at best

even in the best lighting conditions the picture were decent and at night it

wasn't that great

even try different camera app to see if maybe it was the software

but the results were pretty much the same the front facing camera is in

8-megapixel and the results were pretty much identical to the rear

so if you're planning on going tween nice vacation or if you know you're

gonna be taken a lot of pictures

I'd probably take a dedicated camera otherwise you might be disappointed

for you guys let's go ahead and move on to this software side cuz I think this way can make

or break the phone the Pro is running Android Kit Kat

4.4 out for with an almost 100 percent stock

Android or vanilla ROM similar to the Moto GP or even the Moto X

it has minor tweaks to enhance the user experience

but not intrusive enough to be in your face mo so these are turned off by default

for example gesture sensing you can wave your hand across a phone like a jet I

and initiate an action

I found these didn't work so great though it also has screen gestures like

DoubleTap to wait

again these were a hit in mass so I would really rely too much on them

I wanted to test the performance at the phone I'm not a fan of benchmarks but i

wanna gave

baseline to see with this phone stacks up compared to the competition

in several benchmarks that Iran actually performed really good

BL previous flagship phones like the Galaxy s4

he was almost on par in performance with the Nexus 5

but benchmarks are just well benchmarks it doesn't really mean anything

what matters is how the phone response to real-world performance

how smooth the UI is overall the phone is very fluid animations are smooth and fast

it handled every app I use just fine almost forgot I was using a budget phone

and it felt like many

current flagship phones today in fact for 5 from my Nexus 6 NB pro phone side by side

to do in unscientific test just for fun to see how

quickly aP's with loan I performed a nap test to see how quickly each phone with

open and low the information

and after repeating this test several times the performance is pretty much on

par with current flagship phones

which is kinda interesting considering this is still running on the

delving runtime: I think it's safe to say this thing is no slouch

don't be a real test was going to be in the gaming Department

so I fired up several games including some that are more demanding on the GP you

because it's only rendering at 1280 by 720 resolution

the Jeep you had no problem handling any game I threw at it

one thing I should mention is that this phone never once got hot he was always

cool to the touch no matter how heavily I pushed it

that's something that you really can see about current flagship phones

most these phones get really hot quickly and I was something that I really enjoyed using this phone

now this phone offers a lot of value for your money

and I can definitely vouch for that but there's one thing I have not talked about yet

and that's software updates this phone was supposed to already have lollipop

before it was even released they said it would be available by

over-the-air in February we are now in April

and nothing has happened in fact if you go to their website

all their promo photos show lollipop as the UI

but like many Chinese base companies that promise for timely update is

easily for gone and your phone is following the same trends by

luring people in with an attractive phone with good specs

and forget all about software updates this phone may never see another

update again and it's unfortunate because it's a pretty damn good

bone dramas better off buying the Moto GP for twenty dollars more

or get a pre on Nexus 5 that has huge developer support and is still being

supported by Google so its conclusion time I think that we've learned a few things and one on

being that Android has come such a long way to the point where you can buy a

budget Android phone and not sacrificed much compared to a phone that cost five times as much

on the flip side there's a phone that cost five times more

offer five times better performance and does it offer five times better build quality

looking at somebody's flagship phones today I'd be tempted to say that

we shouldn't have to settle

like one-plus said it never settle hope you guys enjoy this video if you did

make sure you hit that like button

and also re share this with all your friends and family

in till next time adios
