JUNING Unlocked MTK6580 Smartphone is a very decent
phone consider the price of it. If I compare this phone with any other phones
in the same price range, this phone will definitely lead the race without any
doubt. We cannot expect this to work like a 200$ phone but this phone
definitely worth each and every penny paid for this phone. The screen wakes up
when you double tap the screen, this features is seen only in few higher end
phones but it surprised me when I found this feature in this phone
Design: (4/5)
I have the golden color panel which is very appealing. Unlike
other popular android smartphones, this phone has the mini USB charging port on
the top. The phone can be comfortably used with one hand.
Power and Volume Up/Down buttons are placed at the right side
of the phone like most of the phones. The buttons can be easily pressed with
thumb when you use the phone. It has a
physical home, back and menu buttons. Loud speakers are placed at button of the
phone.
Camera: (3/5)
The phone features a 5MP rear camera with flash which does a
decent functionality. Front camera is features 2MP camera. Though the product
specification says it has 0.3MP front camera, the phone has 2MP, I personally
verified this with the photos I took with the phone.
Audio: (3/5)
The integrated mic and speaker is very decent for phone
calls. The load speaker lags the quality of music and the volume I expected from
this phone. The ear phone which came with the phone is not that good.
Battery (3/5)
I almost charger this
phone twice a day with the regular usage without using Bluetooth/GPS. Bluetooth/GPS
drains even faster. So make sure you carry the charger/power bank to recharge
the phone. It charges with any micro USB compatible charger, so you need not
always carry charger that comes with the phone.
Display:
The phone features 5.0" qHD Display (960x540) which does
a pretty decent job. The display is bright enough to display images even in
outdoor.
Connectivity: (3/5)
Bluetooth
The phone features a Bluetooth 2.0 which is sort of outdated,
but still works well my Bluetooth headset. The Bluetooth connectivity is stable
but it drains battery very fast. Make
sure you turn off the Bluetooth when it is not used.
Mobile network:
It supports dual SIM, SIM 1 slot supports MINI SIM and SIM2
slot supports Micro SIM. I used T-Mobile Micro SIM in SIM2 slot and it worked.
The specification says it support 3G with WCDMA and 2G with GSM
network. I used the phone with T-Mobile GSM SIM which connected with 2G network
as expected. I was able to browse web with 2G. It was slow but that’s how 2G
works!
WIFI
It connected with my home WIFI network in no time.
GPS:
GPS connectivity is very stable and detects the location as
soon as the location is turned.
Software: (4/5)
It runs on android 5.1 lollipop which is almost 1 year old. I
got an Over the Air (OTA) update couple of days with a small patch. The system
UI is simple and does provide a decent interface. It is not overloaded with any
application like the one sold by mobile operator. Double tapping screen to
unlock the phone is one impressive feature.
Overall performance: (3/5)
Battery being one of the major downside of the phone, overall
performance is good. I installed third party couple of games and was able to
play without any lags. It has 2GB
internal memory but only 900MB is available to user. So external SD card is
required to add more memory to the phone.
