My Experience with the Device
Mario Antonio
8 months ago
2 / 10
I bought it because it was supposed to be very good, but the screen gets too hot and the quality is very poor, not to mention the pictures. Personally, I do not recommend it. The brand's promoters are very pushy and they rave about it when there are other brands that deliver on their promises.
