Funny eh, review handphone yang dah lama keluar dan not-so high end? Well, it's my new purchased handphone and it's my freaking blog. So? Haha. But, if you're on a very tight budget yet you want to use a smartphone, this review is good for you.
Siapa taknak, pakai Samsung Galaxy Note ke, Samsung S III ke, iPhone ke kan? But aku adalah on tight budget and benda tu nak pakai cepat sebabnya PinkBerry kesayangan screen-nya dah mulfunction. Sedih tau. :(
Disebabkan dah merasa pakai BlackBerry, makanya nak try la Android pulak. Then ramai la yang cakap, "...kau nak beli Android phone sebab nak Instagram kan?" I mean, really? You use your Android phone just for Instagram ahh? C'monnnnn.
My budget is RM500 ONLY. So, aku mula survey Android phones apa yang dapat dengan harga tu. Malangnya takde, or aku yang tak jumpa. So i have to raise my budget to RM550. Kedekut ni, naik RM50 je. Mak orang miskin nok. Huhu.
There are two phones in my list. Samsung Galaxy Y and this SE Xperia Mini Pro.
Boleh dikatakan aku dah serik dengan handphone yang full touchscreen ni. Aku nak cari handphone yang ada both touchscreen and physical keyboard. As i am very familiar with SE Xperia Mini Pro (sebab Fatin pakai handphone ni before dia beli BlackBerry) so i've decided to buy this phone. Just like what i want, it has both touchscreen and physical keyboard.
Price.
Tak keluar budget. RM530 sahaja. Memory card 4GB, screen protector and basic casing FOC.
Features.
Camera 5MP, auto-focus. But still, aku rasa camera BlackBerry aku lagi best. HD video recording. 1GHz RAM, which is ok for a light user like me. Mobile Bravia engine, i don't know what is it but as i recall Bravia is a Sony thing.
OS.
Android ICS 4.0.4. My personal opinion, even you have the latest Android phone, say, Note 2 or S III, it's just a brick without the latest OS. If you have a low-end Android phone like me and it has the latest OS, what makes Note 2 or S III users looking down on you if their Android phones doesn't have the latest OS? Huhu. It's just my opinion la. We all know yang OS that matters kan?
Personalization.
1. Theme.
Aku adalah batak bila tengok themes yang available for Android users sebab masa pakai BlackBerry, themes untuk handphone aku tersangatlah limited. So tanpa ragu-ragu, aku telah meng-install themes yang comel-comel belaka untuk perasan yang aku pun comel. Ihik.
2. Casing.
Apa la nasib aku pakai handphone yang susah nak cari casing yang lawa-lawa. Masa pakai BlackBerry pun susah cari casing, pakai handphone baru pun casing tak ada yang lawa. Makanya harus la aku customize sendiri je. And my forte, blings! Setakat ni dah ada dua bling-bling casing. And more to come i guess. Huhu.

Disadvantages.
1. Size.
Yes, for me, size matters. Aku suka handphone yang besar dan lebar. Macam Storm aku dulu. Handphone ni adalah kecik yang amat.

2. On font customizing.
Tak macam BlackBerry yang bila tukar font, satu system akan tukar font. Untuk handphone ni, nak kena tukar untuk satu-satu application tu. Pulak tu, system font tak boleh tukar. Boleh tukar font for applications, homescreen and menu je. If you want to change the whole system you have to root the phone. Rooting phone will void your warranty which i don't want. Maybe after habis warranty baru aku fikir nak root handphone. i don't wanna take a risk.
Okay, setakat ni, itu je la yang boleh review. I highly recommend you to buy this handphone if you have a limited budget but still you want to use a smartphone. For me, it worth to spend RM530. ;D
Till then, toodless!!
Lotsa love,
