There are some beautiful branded themes, changing not only the colors, but most of the icons and other interface elements.
Interesting opportunity to choose the so-called simple style desktop screen at which disappears familiar grid of icons, and the interface takes a minimalist tiled view. In this case we have three desktops with multi-colored icons, tiles, which lead to the dialer, SMS, contacts, camera settings, FM-radio – there is only what is necessary. But the choice is not limited, you can add here any other application.
A set of pre-installed applications is wide enough. In addition to the standard Google-services there is a lot of useful utilities like flashlight and voice recorder, as well as clients Twitter and Facebook.

In this case, the author did a few takes, Tapan several times on the screen, but the camera is still not able to focus on the desired object.
The camera has an obvious problem with shooting under artificial lighting. In such circumstances, it is much less stable than in the daylight: lubricates the pictures and is not focused properly.
You can make a beautiful panorama.
Verdict: The camera has proved excellent in shooting in bright light at long and medium distances. But near and artificial light should not expect the same good results.
Also, the camera takes very decent videos. However, a modest amount of internal storage does not allow to do it too often – when buying a smartphone is better to buy a memory card and toward him. Saved video format MP4.
