The user interface is frustratingly slow to navigate
GV1 s user interface
the Vibrant-TV setting was a bit too vibrant )
lack of a backlight which is irksome

the zoom control is small and fiddly
don t have to operate just on battery power
lost the quick-release plate for my tripod
does have built-in apps using Aptoide
the bottom half of the screen was cut off

the library is sparse
slow Snapdragon 210 processor and meagre 1GB RAM
There s a delay in registering the commands while using the remote control
