Review of the Budget SmartphoneThis smartphone was purchased as a backup, in case the primary device suddenly stopped working. I bought a new one, with the documents from the advertisement, as I was looking for a good deal. The phone's characteristics are not bad: it has a decent amount of internal and RAM memory, which can be expanded (as shown in the screenshot). It performs its functions well, but there are some issues to consider.

Important Note: Software UpdatesWhen purchasing this phone, please be aware of the software update issue. I didn't update the system immediately after purchasing, as I simply turned it on, checked its functionality, and used it for a month. However, when I decided to install all the necessary apps and update the system, I encountered difficulties with the update. I contacted the service center for assistance, and it turned out that the phone was manufactured for an Eastern country, which is why the update wasn't available. The service technician recommended not to update the system, as it might render the phone unusable.
