Bought this .... eeee .... soap dish. I bought out of ignorance, ignorance of the fact that this (unlike the 3G version) is a single-value smartphone.
In general, on the one hand, I would like to hand over, on the other - I got it for 9, but for normal prices they rose to 8 .... I looked at the antitu and was completely upset, it turns out he sucks at his more “simple” fellow.
LTE for a smartphone is a thing in itself, I do not understand the need for this technology in smartphones, what goals does it implement? in addition to boast and dubious pleasure from attributing to the caste owners of 4G tubes ...
Well, yes, if you use smart as a modem point, maybe it makes sense, but it's easier to get a 4g USB whistle, or a router.
Summarizing:

Advantages:
1. LTE is a dubious thing, 3G completely allows you to watch videos online and surf the Internet.

Disadvantages (compared to the 3G version):
1. the lack of a slot for the second SIM card;
2. Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400 in conjunction with the Adreno 305 give worse performance than the Intel Atom Z2560 in conjunction PowerVR SGX544MP2;
3. higher price

I will be glad to hear counter arguments.

Counter Arguments - 1. Potentially lower power consumption.
2. Normally work with Sony smartwatch2.
3. Well, when there is a choice.

Rep: (13)
I will add counter arguments from myself:
- Price compared to similar models from other manufacturers
- For me, intel is too voracious.
- Again, compared to other LTE phones, the offer is the most attractive

I’ll say right away that I was looking for a phone with LTE for myself, for me the normal mobile Internet is very important.

And since in the next topic the post sinks very quickly, I will duplicate it here, although the opinion of the owners of the non-LTE version is also of interest)

Question to people with applications Vkontakte, Battery Doctor, DrugAround
I noticed such a bug:
1) Turn on the music in the Vkontakte app, a widget appears in the notifications to control the player
2) We are trying to use the widget, only the first press is processed, then the buttons in it do not work, plus the name of the current track does not change when the song is changed
3) in Battery Doctor, the widget with information about the current battery charge is updated only when recreating these widgets (when you rotate the screen for example)
4) in the Friend Around the widget is created with the text "Authorization .." and is no longer updated

Is everyone interested in this in KitKat or only in the KL version? And where is the actual error: in these applications or in the firmware?
Can someone else in other applications like this?

The ES Explorer music widget works fine at the same time.

The information went into the header, to the firmware

* MAKAPOH, A bug with the widget is present. Another AIMP widget doesn’t work very well, although the player itself is still in beta, so it’s not a fact that it’s a firmware version.
I also noticed that no application other than the built-in ones can write files to a USB flash drive.

This is a feature of Android 4.4, many times they wrote about it in the next topic)



Rep: (4)
Who cares - OTG works out of the box. The flash drive is formatted with extFAT, to support large files.

Hello. Who does 5 LTE do not tell me, does the conversational speaker jingle when talking? I purchased this unit for myself a couple of days ago, and noticed that when talking, the speaker jangles noticeably, even if you turn down the sound by a couple of divisions, the problem does not disappear.
