Hi, I have now been using the MegaLife F1 Zen edition as my primary phone for the last 6 weeks a and have been very happy overall! Just a little background, I work full-time and this is the 1st device that has allowed me to switch over to a “kosher” phone without compromising what I need on a daily basis.
I have been very impressed with the constant updates of both the OS, App installer and the Apps. Overall, the phone has worked without any real issues or glitches, which is very impressive for a new device with new OS layer.
A few notes:
-Battery Life - Was not great originally, but has improved over time. It should get you thru the day without issue.
-Android Auto - Has worked well, sometimes the phone does get hot, but this seems to have improved with the updates as well.
-Gmail - I am having some trouble getting it to auto sync to retrieve emails. I need to manually refresh to get my mail (sometimes it randomly works automatically).
-Outlook email - This has worked great and no issues with auto-sync.
-Durability- so far seems to be built very well overall, I have been using it without a case and have not had any issues.
-WhatsApp - This has worked great and is real.ly a gamechanger in the kosher category. It is fully filtered, with no images , channels or communities. Voice and video calls work without issue.
-Media - Has Torah Anytime, 24/6, JStream etc. and all work as expected.
-Filter - Seems very strong and haven’t been able to sideload anything or bypass it.
-Reception- I have been using it on Mint mobile without issue. Service has been very good overall.
I know the price is a bit steep, but it seems the company has been putting effort in to continually improve the user experience and it is one of the few (maybe the only device) that provides fully filtered features so you don’t feel you are compromising anything by switching over.
Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks!
