INQ Chat 3G ReviewRed starRed starRed starRed star White star

Poor Excellent

 

Look and feel

The QWERTY keypad adds to the phone overall, and the colourful backs livens up the predominantly black fascia.

Ease of use

Social networking is at the heart of the device and it’s easy to set up Facebook, Hotmail and Twitter accounts. This handset is designed to be infinitely usable.

Features

This is a budget phone, so camera and music player are pretty average. But its social networking functionality is top-notch, which is exactly what it set out to achieve.

Performance

Photos turned out quite poorly, though you can upload them directly to Facebook. Sound quality is quite low, and we lost connection a couple of times when talking via Skype. Overall though, performance was good.

Battery life

Battery life was above average.

INQ Chat 3G

Pros: A full QWERTY keyboard enhances the overall social networking experience
Cons: The phone could do with a more powerful processer. As we opened more applications we did notice a detrimental affect on the overall speed of the device

Verdict: The INQ Chat 3G achieves all it sets out to. An excellent ‘affordable’ social networking phone that could just do with a little extra oomph
