The fact this phone is just $150 OFF-contract, #MindBlown. Yeah, it might not be a flagship device with major carriers, but for a prepaid option with great specs, it's almost a must have. Large manufactures (Apple, Samsung, HTC, ect...) really need to take notes on this bezel. Another great video, man.
Jimmy Jones I doubt Samsung and other companies have a budget phone that's better than the Sharp Aquos Crystal. I have not seen one budget phone that looks better, yet.
For the price, this phone is absolutely perfect! I'd definitely pick this over the Moto G. I think it would be awesome if Sharp made a higher end version of this phone with a 1080p or qHD display, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM and 13 MP camera. And maybe make the back of the device look a little sexier..
I'm actually looking to pick between the Moto G 2nd Gen and this phone.. do you think this phone is better? I would like an honest opinion because I'm only going to buy a nice phone once for awhile and replace muuuuch later.
Evan Nakagawa It's true! Sharp doesn't mess around. They have historically made very good hardware. I'd love to see a "flagship" version of this phone. The 720p display is actually really, really great. I'd guess it to be a Sharp panel. You can see the pixels, but it is just really, really pretty.
Sigh.... they do, the Aquos Crystal X version................ just read it's only going to be available in Japan tho. Big BOOOOO to those of us in the U.S. cuz.. it'd be a no-brainer had that one been here! :)
It would be nice to have a phone that has a completely edgeless and featureless screen and have no buttons or ports. You could have a dock that cordlessly charges it, just like an electric toothbrush and have a bluetooth adapter for headphones to plug into. The phone would be completely waterproof as well.
Great value for your money. I admit that the first time I saw this phone I thought it looked hideous, but after seeing it on this video, which seems a lot better than the other ones, I changed my mind and think it looks super nice and unique.
Great looking device, thanks for the great video. I just subscribed today. I think it's the sleeper phone of 2014 so far. Mid range specs but high end looks.... Did I mention... $150 prepaid. I think sometimes we all including myself get spoiled by the high end phones and their specs that we overlook the mid range powerhouses out there.... The first MOTO G anyone? Mid range phones these days in my opinion gives us the best bang for our bucks.... Unless they're overpriced of course lol. Sharp did a great job with this one, for the first time in a long time...on a device here on US soil. Remember the Sidekick LX anyone?? Yep.....made by SHARP.... I thought at the time of its release it was ahead of its time. Great swivel display and the changing Led notification light trackball.... Reminds me of this phones pulsating lights and effects around the edge of the screen. Sharp can add another great device to their book with this Aquos Crystal.
Think this was a great way for Sharp to get in to the phone market. They make beautiful TVs and if they can get the display tech from there TVs to there phones and add modern phone specs then I bet they have a home run. Also great Video!
To the people wanting a GSM version of this, and with higher specs, look into the Japanese version of this. It's the Sharp Aquos Crystal X It's like this phone on steroids. Bigger screen even, at 5.5".
I bought this phone on Boost. It has few drawbacks such as no NFC, speaker that is not loud enough, and only 8gb of storage with 4 available to use. Still for $150 it looks amazing, the battery life is good, and that innovative earpiece that uses the whole screen make this phone a great value.
I agree with the fact that it might not have great specs, but it is innovative using features that some phones don't have. The first iPhone was an innovation and now we have all the phones we use. I wonder what will appear in a year.
Its a sexy looking phone. I'm pretty depressed with the lack of innovation in mobile devices from Apple. It seems like their number 1 priority is to just to make it thinner, improve the camera a bit and then just focus on iOS.
wow, this is what I was waiting for. I sweer, if it didnt have the bottom bezel, I would not only rate this as the most inovative phone of the year, but also the best, unfortunatly to me I cannot get over that bottom.
You'd hate it after a week of pressing shit you didn't mean to press if that were the case. I'm definitely gonna be picking this up as back up phone though.
Love this phone so far survived a fall face first from my desk it has pin hair crack battery goes fast and I love how it takes one swipe down to get to my settings I was hesitant about getting it didn't like it at first but it's definitely grown on me
This thing existed in Japan for over half a year already. But it's great to see Sharp introducing more Japan-only smartphones into the international market, since many of them are so fantastic imo.
Looks like a taste of the future. From the front, it looks like a phone you'd see in a sci-fi show. I hope extremely thin bezels become a trend with future phones.
Very interesting concept. Also, when you say that the specs are quite low, I don't really think that's too weak. I have the Moto G and it works near flawlessly with specs much lower than this phone. Nice video, hope it eventually comes in GSM worldwide (even though I probably won't buy it).
I just saw one in the wild a couple of days ago at the supermarket. Didn't think much of it until I realize there was no earpiece. Is there higher and lower volumes with this vibration sound conductive method?
Linuxguideontheair Pretty amazing little phone. I still speculate that it's an experiment for Sharp and that they're in the process of making a flagship out of this design.
this is a perfect phone for calls, texts and social media! for games i have a tablet but for everyday use i use this thing, its pretty snappy, probably the best phone for its price and it looks like it has bad specs but i dont see a problem with it, and i got more attention at work than my friend who got the iphone 6
Very awesome, I love the idea but I just feel there *needs* be some sort of bezel that I slide my finger from to do gestures without setting up some sort of alternative. I'd love to see a phone that does a sort-of even bezel. Not top heavy, not bottom heavy, but the same width all the way around - kinda framed like a photo in a thin photo frame.
I can't see why anyone would flame you for saying this is the most innovative phone you've seen this year. It looks amazing, the specs aren't that bad, especially if one owns an older phone like the htc desire it's a complete upgrade. I would love to know how the harmon kardon speaker sounds, I have a laptop with a pair of them built in and they sound great. Awesome overview. (Also I really want to see how your Blue Mo-fi headphones are)
Can you store apps on the ad card? Based on other reviews, you can't. Is it worth $239 on contract with Sprint. If not, what phone would you recommend on Sprint ? Based on Camera and battery
Fantastic, I have been waiting to see a good review/first look of this device. Specs on the Golf GTI? You should make a video about it like you did the old Subie :p
Quin have you hear about the sharp aquous X? They released it alongside this model in Japan. It will only be available in Japan but it's a proper flagship phone.
Make the bezels all black and make the screen come up a little bit and curve on the edges, make the screen a little more bigger and QHD (OLed would be awesome), drop nothing less than a mid-range performance processor in there, a nice working camera and you can have my money. This kind of phone I would buy purely for the respect for the aesthetics. The LG G3 got my money (when it first came out) for the same reasons.
why do people think the back is ugly.. i actually like the back lol.. thanks for your review.. good video is it possible to buy the black sprint version and use it for boost mobile? I really like the black version but i do not have sprint i have boost. please answer.. i am strongly considering this phone.. i was going to buy the htc one.. but i like this design and its cheaper
Qué tal? No podrás usarlo allá en México. El celular no es GSM sino es CDMA. Los proveedores de Internet allí son todos GSM. Hay otros opciones en este precio como el Moto G.
Hey Snazzy Labs , I'm looking to get a budget phone and I never heard of this. It's awesome looking.. but I need an opinion. Sharp Aquos Crystal vs Moto G 2nd Gen? I'm trying to stay in that $180 and down price range.
I have a moto G generation 2. The only gripe I have is the headphone jack isn't as loud as the iPhone. But it's darn good enough. If your music heavy like me I'd suggest listening to both devices to see which is loudest. And for some strange reason I used a fiio amplifier for the Moto G 2 and it didn't sound any louder.
minsb4midnight its not the motorola that has the audio problem its just most androids in general for some weird reason thats my only gripe with android phones as well since my iphone memory is 70 percent music I wish I could have the added storage of SD cards and customization options for your phone
i would really like lg's g line (3 or 4 atm) to have no black border around edges and bottom part of phone to be same as top, it would be perfect bezel-less phone with sexy look. well u cant get everything because exuses
It's only downfall is not being completely bezel less top to bottom. That big chunk of plastic at the bottom makes It look like you are holding it upside down all the time. I would be okay without a front facing camera to get one giant glass display. It would look so bad ass.
Something that has been on my mind for the past two weeks is that I just got an iPhone and it's running ios 8 and alongside I also have the first gen nexus 7. What I've noted that was strange is that when I try to multitask on my iPhone, the app doesn't go back to where it was rather it restarts the app all over again. Can you please explain why? I mean I like iOS but that one thing has been something that I haven't encountered on my nexus 7 tablet. That happens on my windows phone 8.1 too where when I multitask It seems that the app is just an icon. Thoughts on this anyone?
The iPhone can only keep a few apps actually running in the background, and even though all the apps that you have opened are shown in the multitasking switcher, only some are 'truly' running. This means that only around the first five or six apps in your multitasking switcher can be launed back to the state they were in, and the rest are practically links to open apps.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 but I may buy one to check out the Direct Wave Receiver function... of course I won't use it for my primary phone if I get one.
Snazzy Labs does it really suck?? How does speakerphone work (or does it?) Call quality? Love the looks of this phone.... kind of unique compared to other things out there that, imho, all just seem to be looking so similar to each other these days... That being said, the 1 other thing I was really concerned about... was how much of a total PITA having to completely turn over the phone to take front-facing pics or video call... how inconvenient was that to use? The whole sound thing worries me tho.... that's a biggie. =/
Snazzy Labs It's not about efficiency (except for RAM and battery mAH), that would suggest the 1.3GHz dual core A6 is just a couple percent less powerful than the 1.4GHz dual core A8 when in reality the A8 benchmarks quadruple. It's about the fact cores and GHz's aren't the primary concern for a processors performance. It's everything else. The A8 is objectively a more powerful processor than the Snapdragon 801 used in other smartphones.
Tyler Simpson What he's saying is that iOS requires less processing power to run smoothly and quickly. That means the hardware in an iPhone isn't as vital as it is in an Android phone. In that sense, it is very much - although not entirely - about efficiency.
For 150 dollars, I may just buy this and use it solely for music as the aux port on my G2 quit working. They could almost market this as an android-pod.
Well, the iPhone 6 may have "2 year old specs" but it still benches more than the Galaxy S5, the LG G3, the Note, or any other smartphone out right now. Specs mean nothing, and that's why "people buy everything from Apple"
George sure it does, on more compatible apps and an OS that is far inferior to Android.(coming from an iPhone user) Galaxy S5 is kinda buggy that is true.
if you missed it in the video (2:08) it vibrates the entire display, then all you have to do is touch any part of the display to your ear to hear the other end of the phone call.
Yup. That things looks great. Thanks for sharing your initial thoughts.
MeadorsMusings Thanks for watching.
The fact this phone is just $150 OFF-contract, #MindBlown. Yeah, it might not be a flagship device with major carriers, but for a prepaid option with great specs, it's almost a must have. Large manufactures (Apple, Samsung, HTC, ect...) really need to take notes on this bezel. Another great video, man.
***** Agreed. And thanks for watching, Steven!
Besides Apple, and probably HTC Samsung does have lower end phones, that might be just as good or better than this
#Mindblown hahahahahaha
Jimmy Jones I doubt Samsung and other companies have a budget phone that's better than the Sharp Aquos Crystal. I have not seen one budget phone that looks better, yet.
Picked this up today and this phone is a work of art!!!
For the price, this phone is absolutely perfect! I'd definitely pick this over the Moto G. I think it would be awesome if Sharp made a higher end version of this phone with a 1080p or qHD display, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM and 13 MP camera. And maybe make the back of the device look a little sexier..
maybe even a 16MP camera.
I'm actually looking to pick between the Moto G 2nd Gen and this phone.. do you think this phone is better? I would like an honest opinion because I'm only going to buy a nice phone once for awhile and replace muuuuch later.
Evan Nakagawa It's true! Sharp doesn't mess around. They have historically made very good hardware. I'd love to see a "flagship" version of this phone. The 720p display is actually really, really great. I'd guess it to be a Sharp panel. You can see the pixels, but it is just really, really pretty.
Sigh.... they do, the Aquos Crystal X version................ just read it's only going to be available in Japan tho. Big BOOOOO to those of us in the U.S. cuz.. it'd be a no-brainer had that one been here! :)
Snazzy Labs P.S. ..... yup, nice legs! Flip flops too! ;) - thanks for taking the time to make this video for all of us. Appreciate it. :)
I hope there is a flagship phone that comes has that edgeless display! thats so awesome!
There already is, on cheap deal as well plus.google.com/104923498734515538555/posts/7Z1Gm18r5iQ
Definitely enjoyed your quick overview. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Stay snazzy!
150 bucks, cant go wrong
randomrazr Very true. Great hardware for that price.
Snazzy Labs Man, a very important question to me--Does this device support other carrier like verizon? Thanks
+zang chi if u buy the unlocked version
John Smith There's no unlock version, only pre-pay device.
If this thing comes to the UK I'll be snapping it up straight away. Absolutely stunning.
Damn man this is what you call innovative..WOW.
You can't beat that price!
Yo this phone looks dope as fuck. So different the all the shit out and the price is right Bob!
Good looking, yeah. The earpiecelessness is brilliant. Still, I need my bezels, I have fat fingers. :S
Rolf Brandser I think the top will be a problem swiping down..
Didn't look like it in the videos I watched.
It would be nice to have a phone that has a completely edgeless and featureless screen and have no buttons or ports. You could have a dock that cordlessly charges it, just like an electric toothbrush and have a bluetooth adapter for headphones to plug into. The phone would be completely waterproof as well.
Great value for your money. I admit that the first time I saw this phone I thought it looked hideous, but after seeing it on this video, which seems a lot better than the other ones, I changed my mind and think it looks super nice and unique.
Really enjoying your channel, very helpful info and I like the way you communicate, too. Thanks!
Definitely agree with you
I have an iPhone 6 plus
But I really want this damn phone!!
That phone is gorgeous. I hope the major manufacturers produce borderless-display phones in the near future.
Great looking device, thanks for the great video. I just subscribed today. I think it's the sleeper phone of 2014 so far. Mid range specs but high end looks.... Did I mention... $150 prepaid.

i just love the fact that as small bezels,i have a 720p screen ,Sony z3 compact and it looks amazing
To the people wanting a GSM version of this, and with higher specs, look into the Japanese version of this.
It's the Sharp Aquos Crystal X
It's like this phone on steroids.
Bigger screen even, at 5.5".
Looks like a solid investment.
Thanks for sharing queen!

IVIusicFiend for 150 bucks you can't go wrong
The true beauty is that it’s 5 inch. Perfect fit. Please some make a 5 inch bezeless phone
This is awesome. I need it immediately.
Love this phone so far survived a fall face first from my desk it has pin hair crack battery goes fast and I love how it takes one swipe down to get to my settings I was hesitant about getting it didn't like it at first but it's definitely grown on me
This thing existed in Japan for over half a year already.
But it's great to see Sharp introducing more Japan-only smartphones into the international market, since many of them are so fantastic imo.
btw, I was shocked by how it looks when I saw it in Japan a few months ago. It really is a beautiful piece
Looks like a taste of the future. From the front, it looks like a phone you'd see in a sci-fi show. I hope extremely thin bezels become a trend with future phones.

Great video man!
Really cool video ! :)
thank you for the great review !
I just saw one in the wild a couple of days ago at the supermarket. Didn't think much of it until I realize there was no earpiece. Is there higher and lower volumes with this vibration sound conductive method?
This just got interesting....
Linuxguideontheair Pretty amazing little phone. I still speculate that it's an experiment for Sharp and that they're in the process of making a flagship out of this design.
this is a perfect phone for calls, texts and social media! for games i have a tablet but for everyday use i use this thing, its pretty snappy, probably the best phone for its price and it looks like it has bad specs but i dont see a problem with it, and i got more attention at work than my friend who got the iphone 6
Great quote from Steve Nelson :p
Pretty cool but I assum it can't be unlock to be use on other network and carriers? Seems like a good burner phone to have when traveling
Great video! Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a Zune HD from the back?
This is an amazing innovation ! But i think that a black version of this phone would be a lot more interesting . keep the good work :)
As far shape is concerened, it's undoubtedly the best so far, they should make more with high end specifications
Very awesome, I love the idea but I just feel there *needs* be some sort of bezel that I slide my finger from to do gestures without setting up some sort of alternative.
I'd love to see a phone that does a sort-of even bezel. Not top heavy, not bottom heavy, but the same width all the way around - kinda framed like a photo in a thin photo frame.
I can't see why anyone would flame you for saying this is the most innovative phone you've seen this year.
It looks amazing, the specs aren't that bad, especially if one owns an older phone like the htc desire it's a complete upgrade.
I would love to know how the harmon kardon speaker sounds, I have a laptop with a pair of them built in and they sound great.
Awesome overview. (Also I really want to see how your Blue Mo-fi headphones are)
Apparently the speaker is pretty awful. The HK tech is only used when you stream music via Bluetooth or use headphones.
Apparently it sounds amazing though when you use headphones.
The Harmon Kardon speaker sounds great, plenty of bass and very loud....especially when plugged into a vehicles sound system
for the price it is amazing wow. If they took this concept to flagship specs id give them my money in a second, Imagine this in 2k.....
i'm pretty interested in seeing how the vibrating earpiece technology actually works.
in your next video show sharps in built options for the lighting around the edges of the phone, ive seen it on another video and it looks gorgeous!
Can you store apps on the ad card? Based on other reviews, you can't. Is it worth $239 on contract with Sprint.
If not, what phone would you recommend on Sprint ?
Based on Camera and battery
This is an incredibly innovative piece of sh.... kit. :) Your intro was completely right in place.
Fantastic, I have been waiting to see a good review/first look of this device.
Specs on the Golf GTI? You should make a video about it like you did the old Subie :p
Quin have you hear about the sharp aquous X? They released it alongside this model in Japan. It will only be available in Japan but it's a proper flagship phone.
goddamn, i might pick this up as my work phone. $150 off-contract? Goddamn.
Make the bezels all black and make the screen come up a little bit and curve on the edges, make the screen a little more bigger and QHD (OLed would be awesome), drop nothing less than a mid-range performance processor in there, a nice working camera and you can have my money.
This kind of phone I would buy purely for the respect for the aesthetics. The LG G3 got my money (when it first came out) for the same reasons.
If that thing comes to Europe, it will be "teen choice 2014". That is absolutely gorgeous.
The Japanese version will work in the EU. If you can unlock it from Softbank.
Looks amazing
Why isn't this ear piece less tech more popular
Will it work with an AT&T sim, or is it carrier locked to Sprint/Boost?
This question needs to be answered.
Someone answer this please. (Sorry, I probably gave you guys a notification and you probably thought I had the answer.. I do not.)
Locked to Sprint/Boost.
That's unfortunate. It would have been great if it wasn't. It's so tempting but I'd rather not pay monthly to Sprint/Boost if I already pay AT&T.
I hope it holds up well and stands the test of time.
what kind of golf is that the bbs like wheels look mint
expected to see more phones like this i mean its 2016 already
Phone looks pretty nice.
Can u use the prepaid on a post-paid line? $150 instead of $240 sounds a lot cooler!
That's what I want to know
why do people think the back is ugly.. i actually like the back lol..
thanks for your review.. good video
is it possible to buy the black sprint version and use it for boost mobile? I really like the black version but i do not have sprint i have boost. please answer.. i am strongly considering this phone.. i was going to buy the htc one.. but i like this design and its cheaper
He said below that the phone is locked to sprint/boost. So I'm assuming it will work.
Sprint/Boost... same/same. Boost is owned by Sprint so... you're 100% good to go! :)
Hey man, great video! Quick question: can I purchase this phone and use it in Mexico? Or am I gonna have to unlock it so I can use it over here?
Qué tal? No podrás usarlo allá en México. El celular no es GSM sino es CDMA. Los proveedores de Internet allí son todos GSM. Hay otros opciones en este precio como el Moto G.
So this is unlocked right? will work with a provider like AT&T?
Hey Snazzy Labs , I'm looking to get a budget phone and I never heard of this. It's awesome looking.. but I need an opinion. Sharp Aquos Crystal vs Moto G 2nd Gen? I'm trying to stay in that $180 and down price range.
AntoniYOwned I'd still go with the Moto G.
Snazzy Labs Thanks for replying. I will do that then. I will also subscribe.
I have a moto G generation 2. The only gripe I have is the headphone jack isn't as loud as the iPhone. But it's darn good enough. If your music heavy like me I'd suggest listening to both devices to see which is loudest. And for some strange reason I used a fiio amplifier for the Moto G 2 and it didn't sound any louder.
minsb4midnight its not the motorola that has the audio problem its just most androids in general for some weird reason thats my only gripe with android phones as well since my iphone memory is 70 percent music I wish I could have the added storage of SD cards and customization options for your phone
minsb4midnight Well that's great to hear, I do enjoy loud music, but I never had the chance to compare it to an iPhone so I should be alright. Haha
i would really like lg's g line (3 or 4 atm) to have no black border around edges and bottom part of phone to be same as top, it would be perfect bezel-less phone with sexy look. well u cant get everything because exuses
i think that if sharp used capacitive hardware buttons that this phone would be even better, edgeless dispay, with nothing but your content.
It's only downfall is not being completely bezel less top to bottom. That big chunk of plastic at the bottom makes It look like you are holding it upside down all the time. I would be okay without a front facing camera to get one giant glass display. It would look so bad ass.
Does it become more fragile when dropped on bezeles sides? I mean, does the screen can break more easily?
Good question
Something that has been on my mind for the past two weeks is that I just got an iPhone and it's running ios 8 and alongside I also have the first gen nexus 7. What I've noted that was strange is that when I try to multitask on my iPhone, the app doesn't go back to where it was rather it restarts the app all over again. Can you please explain why? I mean I like iOS but that one thing has been something that I haven't encountered on my nexus 7 tablet. That happens on my windows phone 8.1 too where when I multitask It seems that the app is just an icon. Thoughts on this anyone?
Isn't that normal for iOS?
The iPhone can only keep a few apps actually running in the background, and even though all the apps that you have opened are shown in the multitasking switcher, only some are 'truly' running. This means that only around the first five or six apps in your multitasking switcher can be launed back to the state they were in, and the rest are practically links to open apps.
Lol. That 1gb of ram at work.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 but I may buy one to check out the Direct Wave Receiver function... of course I won't use it for my primary phone if I get one.
fanowner12 It's pretty amazing. The sound quality isn't really any good, but it works.
Snazzy Labs does it really suck?? How does speakerphone work (or does it?) Call quality? Love the looks of this phone.... kind of unique compared to other things out there that, imho, all just seem to be looking so similar to each other these days... That being said, the 1 other thing I was really concerned about... was how much of a total PITA having to completely turn over the phone to take front-facing pics or video call... how inconvenient was that to use? The whole sound thing worries me tho.... that's a biggie. =/
good Lord.... it is beautiful...
Can be used this phone in India or Bangladesh?
The phone looks like something from the future. 0_o
Hi answers
Where can I buy it
????
I'd be willing to sacrifice a thin phone for a thick no bezel, no edge phone. With nothing but a screen, why don't we have this today?
where would you put screen drivers. or sensors or cameras?
+KipKemei Sambu that's why it'd have to be thick
Whoa, Quinn, is that your mk5??
:D
Design wise it reminds me a lot of the Zune HD
oooo i love no bezel too!!!
2 year old specs? Like the iPhone?
Sprint has some pretty good pre-paid plans...
has specs from 2012... has specs of curent gen iphone...
martinshoosterman Doesn't matter. Android isn't as efficient as iOS.
Snazzy Labs you mean it isnt as simple. I dont think you understand what efficient means.
Snazzy Labs It's not about efficiency (except for RAM and battery mAH), that would suggest the 1.3GHz dual core A6 is just a couple percent less powerful than the 1.4GHz dual core A8 when in reality the A8 benchmarks quadruple.

Tyler Simpson What he's saying is that iOS requires less processing power to run smoothly and quickly. That means the hardware in an iPhone isn't as vital as it is in an Android phone. In that sense, it is very much - although not entirely - about efficiency.
not for android.
Suprised you didn't talk about the Harmon kardon tech
can i use this for tmobile
Mark Ma No. It's exclusive (locked) to Sprint/Boost.
Can I use this phone on my contract line in my sprint account?
would this work with wind?
So this wouldn't work on bell network eh?
How's the durability of this? I can't help but to assume no bezel has an effect on it.
The specs are really nice for the price. It's a moto g bang for buck ratio, and than you get this awesome display as a present.
will i be able to use this phone without registering it? i wanted to use it like an ipod, if you will. thanks!
U can buy and just use it. No need register
Has anybody else noticed that it hugely resembles the Zune HD in design?
how does one stay "snazzy"
For 150 dollars, I may just buy this and use it solely for music as the aux port on my G2 quit working. They could almost market this as an android-pod.
Damn I want one
Can this be gsm unlocked ?
The mi mix 2 perfected this technology
I love how the specs are 2 years old and most better than the iPhone lol :D....people really buy everything from apple.
Well, the iPhone 6 may have "2 year old specs" but it still benches more than the Galaxy S5, the LG G3, the Note, or any other smartphone out right now. Specs mean nothing, and that's why "people buy everything from Apple"
George sure it does, on more compatible apps and an OS that is far inferior to Android.(coming from an iPhone user) Galaxy S5 is kinda buggy that is true.
^ooooooooooo! :D
$150 and still better specs than iPhone 6.
#Burnerphone lol that what it is
Good stuff man!
I like the idea behind it but the bezel at the bottom is far too big.
what about the front speakers?
every phone need that to make a phone call
if you missed it in the video (2:08) it vibrates the entire display, then all you have to do is touch any part of the display to your ear to hear the other end of the phone call.
How do I get this if I live in Europe??? Help!
Use eBay!
