I ordered the Intex Aqua Fish through ebay for around 70 Euro and the same was delivered yesterday. On unpacking the box, btw the packaging is nice and looks premium is to be appreciated for such a low cost device, the box is divided into two sections, one contains the phone, screen protector and the manual and the other section contains the battery, charger with removable usb cable so the same can be used for data transfer to the computer, headphones.

After unpacking the device, I inserted the battery and fired it up. The built quality is pretty good and seems good, there is no creaking and the back cover is fixed firmly and the phone feels good to hold. In fact the phone is lighter than the Jolla 1 even though the screen is bigger and is noticeably slimmer also. There is provision for dual sims and one memory card slot. Though the pre installed apps are few it has an store app (I reckon it is a rehashed aptoide store and surprisingly it has an Google Play app which can be installed on the phone), though the icon for Google Play do not appear but it can be accessed from the Store - Downloads and now viola you can install any app from Google Play right out of the box without any tweaking. The phone shows a 4g signal with ease even in areas where the Jolla 1 doesn't (this has got to do with the fact that our area has an hybrid 4g n/w with bands 3 and 40 and Jolla 1 has only Band 3 but the Intex supports both bands). The display is gorgeous and in future I would like to see Jolla on higher resolution displays.

Gripes

1. Single swipe to lock action as
   available earlier should be enabled to give a better user experience
2. There is no search from the browser address bar directly
3. LED notification has only one colour
4. The call quality and reception needs some improvement, maybe can be done via a software update.
5. I would like more multicolor back covers as accessories for this
   even if they are not NFC enabled
6. Cases and protectors need to be
   marketed for this, now this is very hard to find

I hope the mods can convey our wishes to Jolla for early resolution for the same.
