I can even compare my L707 to Freedom, Blaster and L808 because I had have them all. (Spacer was popular in my family, but I had Huawei at the time (hate it, never again, but that is a different story).
Freedom had an issue with SD card as it did not want to write in it and when it did he made duplicates for apps if it was set to save primary to SD card. In phone link to app in SD card and in SD card the app. Seems ok-ish, but when it takes up space on phone the same amount as on SD card (together twice as much as if it was saved only on Phones storage) start to wonder if SD card is the best choice.
But that was my stupidity and not the phones fault as I went from Huawei to Just 5 with the same SD card (because I am "smart", don't judge me). Note for those who thought just now: "but where is the problem?" Hint: Different phone, different Android version. SD card needs to be formatted before placing it in the new phone (also: placed in phone while the phone is off). And magic - everything starts to work correctly. (Sad that after phone change I only figured this one out)
"But why did you change Freedom to L707, Obvi?" well good question my friends. After 2 years of constant (100+) phone suicidal jumps from my pocket or desk to the ground it finally cracked. A lovely line on a screen. Barely visible. Could not feel it with finger since I am a neat freak and I had my protective film on. (At the end that was the only thing holding it together (film bought at Just 5 Showroom in Latvia). Also the Just 5 film and protective glass for Freedom did not come with the phone (if I remember correctly Blaster and Spacer also did not have them, but for L707 and L808 it was already on, that was a nice touch). And the protective film that they say is for that model is actually just a film that is compatible with it (extra holes for light indicator or something that Freedom does not have, so if you choose that just bear in mind that any protective film for similar phone would do (also would be cheaper)).
Blaster - after 3 years of use (not by me but still was poking the phone to be able to compare it) stop vibrating. Yes, ha ha - get your mind out of the gutter. No vibro - ring, sms incoming messages - nothing. Silent mode was very fun - just guess if someone is calling. (Freedom was more fun in that way - silent mode? Sure if silent then Alarm Clock will also be Silent. Don't want to wake you Obvi.) Blaster had indicator for missed calls (the home button lights up blue if you have something missed) why mention it? Because it disappears on Freedom (no light indicators on those models). Then reappears on Cosmo 707 (bright green light, can't miss it) and Cosmo 808 (small red dot, barely visible, but it is there.). Also Blasters come with (what was it Android 4?) really old OS, so take to Showroom (in Latvia) root it and get an upgrade (takes up to week), because no automatic updates there. (Or root it yourself the youtube is full of how to do it, but I better trust someone I pay to do it then break it).
L707 - Love it - still do. AR doesn't work - but never had a working one so no issues here. (The Augmented reality - the gyro sensor is the one that makes it work never had a phone with it).
The thing with double sign in - I get it - if it is a phone for a child, put first user as parent the second one as child and place whatever child locks you want on it. Also the guest - for the super private people with jealous GF/BF or whatever. Just log in as guest and give them to play games or surf the net. The whole phones memory is secure and Guest can't see nothing. This was advertised as phone for teens.
Noticed a con comparing to Freedom - when phone is charged out and you start to charge - only at 3% you will be able to turn it on (5,5'' takes a lot of power) Freedom just plug in and turn on no waiting. Also 3300 mAh bit to little (good that figured buying a new phone at Showroom when "Buy new phone get Power bank 6600 mAh as gift" was starting).
But safety first for this phone. I turn it on Powered by Android, Just 5 logo music enter patter. Powered by Android, Just 5 logo music (yes again), enter sim pin. (If you have 2 then have fun) then enter a pattern yet again. And yes. I'm in. Yes I know that there is options to turn some of it off. But there it is. The default 2 times Logos so you know that maybe it looks a little bit like Iphone - it is not. It reminds you. Twice. And still somehow Android hits home better than iOS ever will.
L808 - AR finally works. They know how to put in gyro sensor, finally. Took only how much tries? (Blaster, Blaster 2, Spacer, Spacer 2, Freedom, Freedom X1, Freedom M303, Freedom C100, Freedom C105, Cosmo L707) (10 tries and 11th worked). BUT. For those who care about inches and design - the bottom of the phone where usually phones has the menu, home, back buttons has no touch sensor. "But Obvi what is there?" well - nothing. Its just a bottom bar with nothing. Extra space for ... nothing. "But Obvi where are the buttons?" Oh well, glad you asked. In the screen. As in ... in the Android .. I mean 5'' just got a lot smaller. As the screen (5'') is shortened with buttons because the bottom of the phone has no touch pad to place the buttons on (well the bar is but ... nothing). Was a huge deal breaker for me. Even the gyro sensor could not help me with swallowing that fact up. That I actually call a design flaw.
They announce new model COINPHONE (with 3 versions of it: LITE, PRO and PRO NOTE). No much info about them but what I could tell is that the dreadful design of L808 continues. What i could gather is that LITE will cost 99 EUR (same as Freedom, L707, L808 (FREEDOM C105 = 69 EUR)) and the PRO NOTE 499 EUR (This ones actually new at price range and can't wait to poke around a phone that costs same as IPhone 6).
Oh wow, that is a lot of text, sorry for that. So i general. I see your point. Here is an extra info on ... budget phone from Just 5 - The comment that no one asked for, happy to oblige.
