The Last Straw
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

After using this "indestructible" phone for a year and a half, I have to say it is quite destructible and the build quality is horrendous. Internally, it falls apart without any need for damage.On the "resilience" side:The phone has not had any serious knocks whatsoever in its lifetime. a few times it has had a very normal, casual fall out of a pocket while I was sitting down to the floor, less than 50 cm. With this, the back broke. The point where the crews are is very brittle and the back has broken where both screws are. So basically the back doesn't attach. My previous phone, Sony Xperia Z3 withstood many more falls and much more abuse in its 3 year lifespan, with a cover, without having broken once.But that's an aside. My main problem is with other details that just started randomly about 6 months ago.1. The screen has a burn-in image if I use full brightness. The image of the last app remains faded on the screen if I switch app, there is no reason this should be happening. It just started suddenly one day.2. The audio jack has stopped transmitting left audio. Again, no reason for this. I thought it was my headphones it happens with every pair I plug in. Again, no reason, just started one day.3. One day on startup the phone completely corrupted my 64GB SD card. Granted, this SD is about 7 years old, but I mean corrupted beyond repair. I quite the techie and this is not "oh its a bit, corrupt, lets reformat and its grand". This is a completely unwriteable card. It is destroyed.4. The phone network connection has started acting bizarre and not totally functional. Sometimes when connected to the network the phone and I want to make a call it will just say "network not available". I have to restart the phone to connect. Additionally, it doesn't hold a stable connection tot he network, or will constantly select 3G over 4G. This is not in the middle of nowhere. This is a city.... And it doesn't happen on my friend's phone on the same network in the same place...5. The phone has huge slowdown when using apps. After

Rugged but poor camera and screen quality
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Screen and camera quality not great but it works and seems to be rugged which is what I wanted. I seriously doubt that this is a 13Mpixel camera
