My review:

This is the first android smartphone i have received from Tmart. The tablet arrived in a box packed neatly with all the accessories as seen in the pictures. The phone screen was wrapped with a plastic cover to protect the screen; on top of that, there was already a screen protector applied on the phone. This leaves the phone screen well protected from day 1 and also removes the need for me to get a screen protector.

Design and Display:

The DG2014 is a beautifully designed device with the dimensions, 143 x 71 x 6.3 mm. It has a rectangular shape in front and curves slightly at the back to enhance the user's grip. Weighing only 145g(with battery), it is also a fairly light device making it comfortable to hold. The sides of the device and made of metal giving the device a classy look although the back cover is made of polycarbonate. The power button is located at the left side of the device while the volume up and down button is located at the right side of the device.

The volume up and down button is 2 separate buttons making it extremely easy to press. In the front of the device, there are 3back-lit touch keys at the bottom, “Menu”, “Home” and the “back” button. All the physical buttons are made of metal giving us a good feel.

The large 5-inch HD IPS OGS screen has a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels with 16million screen colours. Picture quality on this screen is simply amazing and the screen is able to reproduce colours very well. The brightness can also be increased to very high hence allowing the user to see the screen even under sunlight.

Camera:

The DG2014 has both rear and front cameras. The front camera is 5megapixel while the back camera is a 13megapixel. With these 2 cameras, the user is able to capture high quality images using the rear camera or can even take selfies using the impressive 5megapixel camera. The quality of the image will be great. The back camera also has a led flash light to enable users to take picture in the dark.

i have added some sample shots taken by the rear camera below

Speakers:

The DG2014 has a back speaker which is able to provide decent music playback. Sounds are quite loud and crisp.

Processor and Graphics:

Equipped with a MTK6582 Cortex A7 Quad-core, 1.3GHz processor, the phone is very fast and loads applications quickly without lagging. The GPU is a Mali-400 MP which is able to run most games extremely well. Games such as “angry birds” and “cut the rope” runs smoothly on this phone. 3D games like minion rush are also able to load without problems.

Features of the phone:

Dual Sim – Allows for 2 sim cards to be using simultaneously

GPS and AGPS – Accurate location tracking when using apps such as google maps

Wifi+Bluetooth – Allows user to stay connected on the internet or to transfer data via Bluetooth

Network – Supports GPRS/HSDPA+/EDGE

FM Radio – Able to listen to radio on the go

1Gb Ram – Able to multi-task

Storage Space -4gb(phone storage) + 3gb(internal storage) + external sd card slot(up to 32gb) – Able to store your data with no problems on this phone. You wont have to worry about the lack of storage space

Package Includes

Conclusion

The DG2014 is a mid-tier phone with very good specifications. Priced competitively at only 211SGD, it is a value for money. It also has a very nice ultra thin design making it looks aesthetically pleasing. I would strongly recommend this phone to anyone who has a low budget but wants a decent smartphone
