A good budget phone you may like or hate. If you don’t know
this smartphone well don’t get it, it like a a beast that wait to be unleashed.
Once unleashed, it like a fast and furious bullet train that unstoppable to reach it max.
Let us looked into the detail interior of this phone. A very clean solid workmanship as compare to other budget phone in the market.
The common people complaint about this phone are lagging/clash/hang/reboot/no display/no 2G 3G and auto shut down intentionally. My Phicomm C230w suffered from one of these condition. I would said it does not fulfill the
role as a smartphone but only a basic normal gsm phone. Root/update can resolve the above mentioned problems and issues. It is
necessary you root/update to the latest rom. You can find it from here:
