phone speaker quality, calls and music player, imo it is better than note 2, loud and clear

ear phone quality with tuneIN internet radio app, mkv movies, good enough

camera, the samsung notes are better. for point and click usage this camera is good enough.

the alcatel hero has a very thin bezel. it is also very slim in terms of thickness. it is very pocketable.

the magic flip, u can close the flip to answer calls so u won't feel like holding a big block to your ear the sidekick remains in my box, i dont use it at all .. ahahaha

the built quality is good. the black blue colour is nice, white is not available as yet. the magic flip cover has a matt silky thai satin finish, it is classy. imo, the phone built quality is better than the lenovo and asus at the same price point.

the local unit here is single sim, 8gb. there is a mircoSD card slot for up to 32gb.
