Our INQ Mini 3G Review

INQ Mini 3G with Red Back

The idea of the INQ Mini 3G is to make being sociable easier than ever, and for a fantastic price. With instant messaging and social networking sites built into this amazing phone, you’ll never be out of touch again.

The INQ Mini 3G is great value but the appearance doesn’t reflect the low price. Although the front of the phone looks like it wouldn’t stand much hardwearing, it is actually surprisingly durable. The back of this phone is customisable; with different coloured battery covers to choose from and collect you can have one to match your handbag or tie every day if you so wish!

INQ Mini 3G

The camera and video functions on this phone are great for people who aren’t asking much from their phone. If lighting conditions are good then it can produce photos and videos that are absolutely fine but under low light conditions they are not so good. If you intend on using your phone for photographing or videoing a lot and in a variety of places and light conditions then this may not be the one for you but many people who are looking for a good value phone and aren’t too bothered about these things may suit this phone perfectly.

The INQ Mini 3G intends to be a fast phone which acts upon your requests quickly and it does this perfectly. It’s also easy to use which is good for saving time. With Facebook and Skype being two of the biggest attractions of this phone you will be delighted to know that contacting people via these applications is very simple; after you have imported the contacts to your phone you can then select your preferred way of getting in contact with them; couldn’t be any easier really!

Top Side View

The screen size of this phone is a bit of a let down since it means that you cannot see much of the web pages that you are visiting. Some people won’t consider this to be a large problem and since the phone is inexpensive they will be able to look past this, although for people that will be using the web on their phone quite often this may be more of an issue.

The INQ Mini 3G is a great phone for anybody that wants the social aspects of having a phone that is designed around using the internet but want this for a fraction of the price. Indeed there are better alternatives available for use of the web, however, they will be a lot more costly; this phone may just be the perfect balance of function and low cost.

Mix and Match Plans

A price plan which gives you flexibility, Mix and Match doesn't tie you a set number of texts and set number of minutes each month. With Mix & Match, you receive a monthly allowance, which you are free to use for texts, minutes or any combination of the two. This is ideal if you find your minutes and text usage fluctuates month by month causing you to exceed either your monthly text or minutes allowance. Mix & Match has been made simple, since 1 minute = 1 text, so you never need to choose between the two.

User Comments

The mini 3G is a lil' piece of wonder. I love the 3g support . In some parts, the reception can be dubious.
