Anyone have experience with BQ HW? Is it any good?

For the price (300eur) I'd actually be willing to try the HD 1920 x 1200 version, IF the HW and battery life turn out to be solid.

My son has a BQ smartphone, and battery life is much better than his previous Samsung's.

I recently bought my first smartphone(!), a BQ A4.5, pure android, always updated, with 5 years of guarantee(!) by 150€. I recommend it: good battery, good western design and enough performance for me (low resolution with a good screen improves performance).

Curious, what do you mean by "western design"?

Had a look at images of "BQ A4.5" - but I can't really tell what's "western" about it.

By western design I mean that it looks more like an iPhone 5 than with a typical chinese phone. Its size is also smaller.

What do you mean by always updated?

[galfarragem]

Google itself guarantees updates for 2 years (Android one). E.g. It was already updated to Android 6, not bad for a cheap phone.

I have a BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition(running android now) that I got nearly 1 month ago. Hardware has been okay so far, this phone has ram trouble with ubuntu touch.

It is okay running android, a little under powered I think.
