However, although the design (Skin) is based on LG G3 of the same Android 4.4 (Kit Kat), there is a part where impossible is caused because resolution is too small.


For example, in the explanation illustration of Help, the line is not connected due to insufficient resolution.

Ars Technica is about the overall review of the super cheap 10 Dorusumo "LG Sunrise", it is slow, the image quality of the camera is low, that it is the old OS called Android 4.4 (Kit Kat) although it is the end of 2015, Skin based on LG G 3 collapses It is a bad place to have something, especially among displays with low resolution and low viewing angle as the worst category. However, I am evaluating that it is superior to the point that it is super low cost of $ 10 (about 1200 yen) cheaper than the high quality USB cable, and that it can move many applications with 2D application.
