Good phone in this price and cute looking. But major problem is the battery backup (standby time), have only very short battery backup like 110 - 130 hrs. Good for people who staying in home most of the time. But for travelers and outgoing people it is not good since while we traveling in bus/train or outside home, after attending 2-3 calls, phone will turn off by low battery, how we can charge the battery? Keeping a charged additional battery is a nuisance. Most dual mode sim brands (Chinese rebranded) are not mentioning the standby time in their specification to hide this truth of low standby. It will give a satisfactory standby time if we turn off the GSM sim, but will loss the dual standby option.
