Hi !

I had purchased a Chinese mobile a while ago. I was amazed at the features loaded with these phones as it does with everyone. These mobile phone carry every feature you will think of, from camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, music player, dual SIM and the list goes on. But, all are just to for namesake. They are cheap, their build is not robust. And last but not the least they are good for USE & THROW!!

I don't recall exactly but it was something named as KINGZEN. No matter what ever they are named, they all are made in china. And, it's your luck they sometimes work fine and stay in working condition without giving you any trouble. But, no one can guarantee!
