Excelvan S9920 - EverBuying.com

Brand: Excelvan
Model: S9920
Purchased from: EverBuying.com

I bought this cellphone on February 21st and I got it by March 31st.

Item was sent from Netherlands through registered air mail and it took a little more than 1 month to get it in El Salvador. This happenned because there was a 9-day holiday in my country and the post office doesn't work during that period.

I got it for $79.27 at EverBuying.com. I used a special coupon to get that price because it costed $86.61 normally.

The package included 1x cellphone, 1x 1500 mAh battery, 1x earphone, 1x USB cable, 1x charger, 1x back case, and 1x user manual. Everything was well packed, the problem I got is that they sent me the wrong charger. In my country, we use US chargers and they sent me an EU charger. I had to buy a US adapter to charge the cellphone.

The screen is 4.0 inches, 800 x 480 pixels, capacitive touch screen (2-points).

It's factory unlocked, works with 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz and 3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz. It has dual SIM card, dual stand by, one of them is a micro-SIM card slot.

It has dual cameras. Front camera is 2.0MP and back camera is 5.0MP with flash light and auto focus. Although its box says cameras are 2MP back and 0.3MP front, both cameras work nice and take good pictures and videos. I think they are interpolated because when you enter to the camera's settings, there says cameras are 5MP and 2MP as stated on the website.

It works with Android 4.2 OS (the one I bought, because there's a cheaper model with Android 4.1 OS). You can download a wide variety of apps and games for it from Play Store or from other websites.

Size is OK, not too big and not too small, it's perfect to carry it anywhere. Screen is very bright and clear. Wifi navigation is pretty fast. Battery lasts almost 1 and a half days with regular use, almost 1 day or less with frequent use, and almost 2 days with low use.

Music player is good and sounds a little loud, video player is nice too. Calling is easy.

It has 512MB RAM and 4GB ROM; CPU is MTK6572, Cortex A7 dual core, 1.2GHz; GPU is Mali-400 MP. You might think it's not too fast, but I have played heavy apps and games (such as Real Racing 3) and it runs them very well. It took me about 3-4 hours to download that game, but then I could run it with almost no problems. It took about 3-5 minutes for the cellphone to load the game at the beginning, but then I could play almost like I was using a better phone.

Overall, the cellphone has great appearance and performance, it looks like a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, the difference is only of 1-2 mms between their sizes. Until now, I haven't found any big cons for this phone. The only thing is what I wrote before about cameras, but it's not a big deal.

It is running a little slower now, but I think it's because I've downloaded many games. I'll have to delete some of them and see if it runs faster after that.

I was checking EverBuying.com to see if they have this cellphone available now, and I found it's even cheaper than when I bought it (only $71.61). Hurry up if you want one. It's also available in blue color, but it's more expensive that way ($86.49).
