I know this review is somewhat outdated but let's see if you can help on old southern shandy drinker. I'm a small bloke with small hands and I can't be doing with all these modern bloody phablets. I've been looking at the newer Emporia phones (Smart 6 lite and Smart 5 mini) - 5.5 inch and 5 inch screens respectively. Marvellous. Although I'm in me 70's I'm well used to smartphones (currently running a Samsung A12) so I don't really need to use the Emporia UI. Do you know if it's possible to operate these phones with the usual bog standard Android UI's instead of the Emporia old codgers UI?
Fantastic phone features and excellent value per the purchase price £248.99 from Amazon. You have made a fantastic review of the Smart 5 phone per the ease of use etc.
