[Review] Mlais M52 Red Note running review

[WuddaWaste]

OK, so this trend (and especially with this phone) is driving me bonkers: NOT ENOUGH APP SPACE.

For some reason, a lot of phone manufacturers think it's a good idea to partition storage so it's mostly "Phone Storage" (for photos, videos, etc) and hardly any "Internal Storage".

In the M52, the 16GB total space is partitioned for roughly 2GB of Internal Storage and 11GB of Phone Storage. I keep only the apps I use (and I use a lot of apps) on this thing, but it's simply not enough. I have 9GB of Phone Storage free and 200MB of Internal Storage free.

I know I can do the EBR modifications to tweak this phone, but I simply shouldn't have to. This is just outright stupid.

There's supposed to be an OS update available today. I've heard it's still buggy (can't send or receive SMS), but I have yet to hear if they repartitioned to allow for useful app installation. Anyway, just venting. Frustrated. Grr.

This phone has been good, but it's also been far from great. If the Lollipop update doesn't fix a bunch of this stuff I'll end up buying a new phone soon. (Hell, I'll probably end up buying a new one anyway.)
