Currently, manufacturers offer an incredible variety of mobile devices. Everyone will be able to find the device that suits him in all respects, including design and price.

Most of our citizens in the conditions of today's life believe that it is all phones that are cheaper than this amount that are called affordable, and all that is more expensive is already, albeit a little, but a luxury.

Externally, the model does not stand out. Everything is standard. A good device that works with all basic applications and does not freeze too much. This is what customers characterize.

The main camera is 8 MPix, the front camera is 5 MPix. The built-in memory capacity is 8 Gigabytes, but you can expand it with "flash drives". RAM - 1 GB.
