  • Combina perfectamente la función de consola con la de smartphone. El control es muy cómodo y la pantalla táctil es muy sensible
  • Es caro y los materiales lucen poco resistentes. Podría grabar video en alta definición
  • Este es un equipo perfecto para los amantes de los videojuegos, ya que logra combinar la comodidad de un control para jugar con las capacidades de un teléfono inteligente. Quienes juegan ocasionalmente deben buscar opciones más económicas, pero los fan...

  • El diseño de la carcasa es elegante en extremo, y muy cómodo de manejar en modo teléfono, La pantalla tiene un tamaño generoso, buena visibilidad en entornos iluminados y un agradable nivel de respuesta al tacto, La autonomía de la batería está muy por encima de la media de smartphones: una sola carga dura algo más de un día, La calidad y potencia de sonido es excelente
  • La ergonomía de su uso como teléfono se pierde en modo consola. El control de volumen, por ejemplo, se vuelve casi inaccesible, Los touchpad son poco precisos y muchos jugadores habituales los encontrarán netamente inferiores a los joysticks analógicos, La personalización de Android 2.3 Gingerbread es vistosa, pero en algunos momentos consume demasiados recursos de la CPU, El almacenamiento inter
