2 Bad Camera Quality
The camera does not looks like 12 megapixel resolution although it claims to be.The picture becomes dull and blur when you pinch zoom it.If you are looking for a low light condition photography this phone will disappoint you.Check out this image compare with outdated Nokia N8 which bears the same 12 megapixel camera.
