Android version 4.2.1
Sansor more sensitive than the Gigabyte GSmart Maya M1 v2
The screen is worse (not IPS and smaller resolution)
Battery lasts longer.
The fact that there is a stripped-down version of the processor is not noticeable, for this device with a head.
JPS understandable media library, why would he be different?
The camera is simpler. Audibility is the same.
As if the poor relative of Gigabyte GSmart Maya M1 v2))



Rep: (1)
Well, I'm on 202+ with GPS, everything is fine, although it may be great because this is my first android. But when I drove in the car, I checked it on purpose, showed everything clearly! Even noticed how fast trams we go! Somewhere I read with a brown eye that on Maya, on the second sim card, audibility is bad, is it also okay or is everything normal?

And as a user who can access both devices, can you advise Aku, or do you recommend Maya?
Given that the camera for me does not matter much, and the fact that the battery holds more is a big plus for me. And I only care about the fact that there is TFT and not IPS, respectively, I fear for visibility, and so on.



Rep: (1)
At one time, I chose between 1362 and 202 and it was the IPS screen that became the decisive factor, but then the 202+ appeared and the choice became obvious. And here the diagonal, RAM and android 4.2 beckons

I also watched 202+ earlier, but then Maya appeared, and then another 4 nuclear Maya, and now Aku ... And by design I like it more. True, I recently visited the off-site gigabyte site, a new product appeared there, some kind of 2-core, Tula, or something like that.



Rep: (1)
The difference is $ 35. However small, but no cover. Plus May is thinner and more modern. And of course the screen is worse.
I practically do not use the camera myself, but for the rest, there is no functional difference.
IMHO if it were not for the screen I would advise aku, as well as May.



Rep: (2)
Is the screen on aku so bad? All the same, it looks very nice and the price is sweet. I really did not want the firmware glitches! And so the price-quality is perfect. And at the expense of the processor, it is not much different, only in not supporting fullHD video.

Hmm, I'm not complaining about the screen, it was up to ak gf 202+, for me aku conveys more pleasant color, just pleased with the mineral glass.
The touch did not cause any complaints, although at 202 I had sticking touches ... auto brightness does not play smoothly, everything is clearly visible in the sun.
He sits nicely in his hand, the system works smartly, there were no glitches.
Toys draws perfectly everything flies, the only thing I didn’t like was the quiet multimedia speaker ...
And since I got the phone at the wholesale price, it justifies the money invested, the phone song suits me.

What about the front camera? Can I have a couple of photos? Is the video bad?

Rep: (5)
krounkloun and what about skype? video and sound standards? And then in Maya they said that the owner of the apartment is not heard at all.

And also, how does the button illumination work? and whether it is at all. And then in the video compared to Maya, on Maya, the buttons glowed, but on the ak there is not.
xs maybe there turned off, but still better to ask.

Sorry for not quoting, for some reason the java script does not plow ...

P.s. I can't give you an answer about skype.

krounkloun Thank you very much for the images) sorry with the camera really nothing and not visible, maybe in the daytime you should click a couple of frames)
Antutu is almost the same as Maya, the difference is unlikely to feel)

And so what about the backlit buttons? And what kind of flash drive is it worth? 32GB, 10kl?
And about how much all the same keeps the charge?

A couple of posts above threw screenshots of the antutu there is the number of the firmware assembly, it is identical to yours.

the buttons below the display light up when you touch them, they burn for about 10 seconds. The backlight draws them evenly. Yes, the flash drive is exactly the same, and about the battery this morning I charged 100% listened to music almost all day at medium volume, I played a toy for a long time and had telephone conversations and now I sit with it I am writing this post 40% charge level I think this is normal in principle.



Rep: (18)
Good day to all! So I became the happy owner of this device, before that there was a fly 441 in comparison with him the body is much faster. While there are no glitches noticed, everything works fine, only one question has arisen - is stereo written in the video sound properties and then where is the second microphone?

Did not notice :)
In any case, if there is a firmware that can be flashed, then you can not be afraid and try to make a smart CWM or something else and not be afraid as there is an option for flashing.

Guys and how to increase the volume in the ears?

Go to the topic with Maya, there are 2 engineering menus there, and you can dig into them, maybe it will work on Aku.
