Pros: If you are looking for style but do not want to go beyond your limited budget then this is the perfect handset in the market. Extremely stylish and ergonomically designed, this android marvel will definitely take your breath away. The biggest advantage that this phone offers to you is the look and feel of a luxury item. Its minimalistic design as well as glossy finish is the best in its class. Another huge advantage is the camera. The quality of the images when compared to others will definitely surprise you.
Cons: Though it is a small wonder yet, the budget restricts many aspects of this phone. You should not expect much from the processor as it just performs the basic functions well. Another disappointment is the video recording that can sometimes be below your expectations. Likewise, the screen is a decent yet it can leave you craving for a little bit of more pixel density as some apps and the internet browsing can be demanding in this context. Another unexpected hindrance you might face is from the OS. The low processor is not built to withstand the heavy loads of Android 2.3.6 or Android 4.0 that the phone offers.
In the end, if you are looking for a stylish and elegant piece of electronics then definitely go for this model but remember, use it as a fashion accessory and not for heavy duty entertainment.
