“READ THIS CAREFULLY!
If you are buying this phone because you think that it has
good camera please don’t! This phone has terrible rear and front
camera. Camera is so slow and unresponsive that it hurts! It lags
all the time and all that culminates in evening or night hours. At day
time needs about 3 seconds to autofocus and then second or two to
take a shot. At evening it is even worse; about 3-5 seconds for
autofocus and then about 3-5 seconds for taking a shot. They did
not implemented fast auto focus feature into camera and therefore
camera sucks! One more important thing is they have put frosted
glass on led flashlight so it has poor flashlight for taking
pictures(impossible low quality pictures at evening, night, and
any dark areas).
HT20 pro manufacturers should be ashamed what they did to
camera in this phone.
I bought their phone FIRST time, LAST time and NEVER more! ”
I strongly suggest to your factory to implement fast autofocus
technology into their phones, and to stop with interpolating
cameras.
For flashlight design engineer that have put frosted plastic or
frosted glass on HT20 pro cell phone??? OMG! It is also unbelievable
s….d man cause it decreased led flashlight function for at least
50% making flash or flashlight almost unusable at night. Ask your
flashlight designer did he ever heard about clear glass or
acrylic(plastic) optics high light transmittance?
Than we go further… There is no magnetic sensor inside this
phone??? Outdoor rugged phone without compass? You are joking right?
I brought the more expensive HT10.
The GPS is very bad, and dont have a magnetometer.
This is unbelievable for the more expensive of the line !
Also, the support sucks.
First and last HOMTOM for me.
There are good side of HT20 pro like fast fingerprint sensor, and it really is shockproof cause I was so mad that I dropped it all day on purpose and then I threw it in a bucket of water. It survived all with minor scratches on body.
But nevertheless I don’t want to use it as my regular phone cause their claims for lets say flashlight: “brightest star at night, you’ll never get lost with such a light” 🙂 flashlight is terrible and only because one guy who had idea to put frosted glass or acrylic on them and has lowered light transmittance for more than 50%. Terrible, just terrible… And Of course their second claim “Photographer of this wonderful world”… Yes photographer will be delighted with low quality evening or night pictures and slow auto-focusing and slow shutter speed 🙂 .
I think anyone who buys it will have a wish to really test his shockproof day by day and it really is good in that I admit that 🙂
