I want a phone with a very good camera and very good battery, and as long as it has expandable memory. Would you recommend the R7 Plus phone to me? it is out of my price range but seems very good, almost enough for me to splurge a bit.
What do you think?
The great thing is a rep in the Whirlpool forums said the R7 will come with lollipop in Australia
If you check the post – this is Confirmed.
Oh yes, your right, I skimmed the article 🙂 Great news as it appears other countries are still on kit kat
Screen resolution?
Any FM radio?
Both phones have a FullHD resolution screen as mentioned in the specs list.
For future reference:HD = 1280×720
FullHD = 1920×1080
QHD = 2560×1440
No mention of FM Radio in their specs.
