Sturdy looking phone. Looks like you could demolish a brick wall with that thing. does it feel thick at 11mm?

Compared with other smartphones 11.1 mm would feel like a bit of a brick but price and not style/design is what this phone is about.

Its very thin to hold as its curved so fits well in the hand, being able to buy it now is also a bonus.

I've stuck my SD card into it, so even more storage now (unlike the Note5) and with the huge battery (again unlike a Note5) I will take it with me to Amsterdam instead of needing the Canon Ixus I use to have.

It looks good. You can tell it's just got that quality build and finish to it just by the way it's sitting there

My biggest irritation with my Nokia 1020, besides the tiny store..., is the slow camera. It's incredibly sharp with immense resolution but it takes an age to start up and shutter lag is huge. How's the Play Stulid?

Its almost instant to start up, especially moving the circle around to focus on different areas and pressing again to take the shot is rapid

Hold your finger down to take multiple shots and its still ready to focus elsewhere and take a photo.

How loud is the ringtone?

How loud is the ringtone?

Annoyingly loud on max.

Speaker is on the front so nothing to muffle the sound and its way way louder than that P1.

 

[DirtyJester]

Great

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

How are the speakers?

As usual they've posted a collection of wonderfully dull photos which doesn't really show much at all.
