What reviewers say

PhoneArena and Pocket Gamer praised the W995's music features, speakers and standard headphone socket, but both found the video stand awkward. PhoneArena liked its controls and outdoor photos while criticising the supplied earphones and indoor camera results. Pocket Gamer praised smooth gaming but found the keypad cheap and the menus dated.
