Kuya Adrian, How can i make a848i duo's battery lasts for a day, Unfortunately charging took almost 4hours. and 7 hours performance, can u recommend me energy saver app(s) that can solve my problem. With regards to the phone, I don't have any regrets other than the power issue, thanks..
ReplyDeletekailan ulit ang sale ng 848i ?
ReplyDeleteNd ko po alam, post ko lng dito po kapag meron na
ReplyDeleteMeron na po A898i Duo?
ReplyDeletehow about the a898i duo vs a919 duo
ReplyDeletea898 still got the crown with a bit more features than a848i, but a848i has a bit nice resolution than a898, but 4.3 is the best screen size for 800x480 resolution its like the galaxy s2.. i suggest go for a898.. if u really dont have money, a848i is also good, and still same speed as a898,
ReplyDeletei think myphone will reduce the srp price of a848i... if the promo ends, they will rather choose a898 than a848 with same price..
open line po ba ito? dahil dito ko po sa israel gagamitin...
ReplyDeleteYup, open line po ito
ReplyDelete@Adrian pwede po bang gumawa kayo ng specs fight between KATA i1 at STARMOBILE CRYSTAL..
ReplyDeleteWala po issue yung dalawa sa G-Sensor nito
ReplyDeleteim torn between these two phones, can anyone help me decide?..i think both are good phones, just wanna ask how is temple run gameplay..are there any issues with regards to the tilting thing (just like what CM Flare had)? thanks in advance :)
ReplyDeletei think lamang ang A848i pagdating sa sensor, meron kac syang gyroscope along with the accelerometer, unlike A898 na accelerometer lang. ^_^ wala na mention sa table of pros & cons ang gyroscope. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip :)
