erm...
have 1 unit on hand now...
feeling not bad at all....
will take some time to test and write a simple review

for more pictures can see here

from korea

When I first holding the phone, The first impression that comes to my mind is
although it is 5.3 inches, but I don't feel like it is too giant size like GNote.
Gnote is too big for me, feel quite hard to hold it with single hand. But R3's size
is just fit my palm. Look at the front part of phone, Pantch now put "Vega" logo at
the phone instead of "Sky" logo. And it looks quite sexy with the tall screen. the
phone cover is made up of material alike with SGS2, which is very comfortable to hold
with. After play around with the phone for a while, I found that:

1)The Natural IPS Pro LCD screen is very comfortable to my eye. The color is very
natural, u still can view the phone comfortably under different light conditions. The
color won't too saturated compare to the AMOLED screen. Even in low light conditions
u can still view the phone with ease. It is a kind of color that won't make ur eye
fatigue easily.

2)The UI is very smooth, the phone just smooth like water even I keep switching from
1 page to another or open many apps in once. Thanks to the Snapdragon S4 Pro and also
2GB RAM.


3)There are some quick function at the locked screen such as unlock, call, music,
sms, and others. All u need to do is just draw the screen with respective pattern.
Then the phone will automatically go to the menu u desired. It is a very convenient features as
we don't need to key lock and find the apps step by step.

4)Simple mode is a feature that already existed in Sky Vega Racer 2 a.k.a. Sky A830.
When u enter simple mode, the UI will turn into like window 8 UI. It is a very
interesting features which enable an Android starter to get adapt with the phone.
Everything is simplified in this mode. Or if u afraid of ur friends or family who is
not familiar with Android will mess up ur phone, u can switch ur R3 to Simple mode
before u borrow to them. Oh, don't worry, u can always change back to standard mode
in setting>mode change.

5)Speaker of this phone is good, gives sweet and clear sound quality when I play
songs. The sounds won't go broken even I adjust it to the loudest. Personally I feel
it is better than my Sony NWZ-B162F MP3 even I plug the handsfree to my ear. If I
play some classic songs like <Always on my mind> I can feel the echoes or 3D effect.

6)The camera comes with 13MP. Once u open it, it will auto focus for u
immediately. The quality of the photo is so far so good. There are some new features such as best face and instant film mode. U can pick a few features u wan to be appeared in the photo to the empty box. So that u take a shot with few features at the same time. Here are some samples. Got
chances I will shoot outside.

7)In this R3 phone, there is no more keypad on the phone anymore. both home, more,
and go back button are all become the part of the display. However, u still have some
physical button at the side, which are volum + - button on the left hand side of the
phone and power on/off button at the right side of the phone. It is actually quite an
innovation for me as the classic touchphone still have 3 keypad at the bottom of the
screen.

8)Another features that Sky phone own since Sky Vega Racer 2 - Motion Recognition.
Not sure if u guys go realize this or not, it is a very unique features from sky
phone. U can use motion recognition in picture gallery, music or even accept call.
what u need to do is just wave ur hand to leftwards or rightwards when u do it. Then the pic/music file wil move to next left/right one depend on which direction u wave to. This
feature is quite useful if ur hand is with something that not suitable to touch or
dirty ur phone. Or, if u r a lazy person that too lazy to take ur phone up to ur
hand.

9)Face Unlock, very special unlock style =D u just have to put ur face to the phone
when u wanna unlock. No need setup many gesture pattern that u might forget next time
when u unlock the phone. Of course, the face unlock can't be done under low light
condition.
[attachmentid=3151941]

10)Mini window is something like u can open another smaller box on ur phone screen. It can be music, video, notepad, dictionary, sketch pad and T-DMB (only can be used in korea). Hence, u can multi tasking. U can reply a sms even u r watching an exciting movie on ur phone. With mini-window, u no need to exit to the main screen to do another task if u r enjoying ur movie.

Others special features: NFC, pre-rooted, english and chinese supported, microsim supported. so far the phone is going nicely smooth and easy to play around
