Camera and Entertainment
The Holly comes with 8MP rear Auto Focus camera with LED flash and 2MP on the front. As far as the camera quality is concerned, the outdoor pictures were quite good . But the pictures in artificial lights were not so good.
Sound (speaker / in call) is loud and clear. No issues with 3G, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
The device has a Dual SIM, only the SIM 1 supports 3G.Both SIMs are micro SIM. The call quality compared to the price is quite good.
