Here I am going to review a cheap budget phone W375, I will discuss about its design, features with memory, connectivity, design, data and battery back-up etc.
***
Now the important point of phone is its attractive folding design measured with 99 x 45 x 18.6 mm, 73 cc, and weight is about 88gm. Phone has only single display and if there is any call and you wants to see the caller than u have unfold the phone to see that caller. But is completely made for budget level buyers so that there is no mean to keep double LCD, it may increase its price at all. But the design is very sexy and attractive in this category phone.
***

Display size is about 128 x 160 pixels, 1.8 inches, in terms of millimeter it is 28 x 35 mm, with TFT display screen, total 65K colors. Screen resolution is not as good as compare to higher 16m colors but it is good enough in its category phone. Display deals better with indoor use but in bright condition there may be some problem but this is a common situation in about all phones.
***
Memory point
In terms of memory this phone failed to provide adequate memory, only has 1.5 MB of shared memory. Phone also has a camera but there is no sufficient memory for that and there is no mean of keeping the camera with this type of insufficient memory. I don't know that why every manufacturer try to keep camera in phone without providing enough memory for that. I can say that they are try to make a marketing funda with adding camera and they can say that this phone has camera, but reality is worst when it comes with its memory size.
***
Connectivity features is also very bad, and this phone only has GPRS and USB connectivity. There is no Bluetooth, no Infrared etc. This type of phones can provide at least Bluetooth or infrared, with its budget status.
***
Other important feature is its FM radio but it can't support stereo sound, having only mono sound support. But maximum phone also has mono support with its internal speakers and they only can provide stereo sound with compatible handsfree.
***
Battery back-up
Battery back-up is not so good but it is ok with Standard lithium ion battery, 850 mAh (BT50), having about 3 hours of non-stop talktime. Motorola claiming of 7 hours talktime but as practically we can get only about 3 to 4 hours of talktime. Back-up time in FM music is also remains same.
***
Over -all this phone is a good lower level budget phone, if you don't wants to have much featured phone with high mega pixel camera, high memory support with extra advanced features than it will be better choice for you.
If you want to keep phone only for conversation purpose than this phone is pretty good for you with its attractive folding design and good battery back-up.

Summary: as per your call purpose, have a cheap phone.
