5 Features Holding the Casio G'zOne Commando Smartphone Back

The Casio G'zOne Commando is by far one of the most durable and innovative smartphones for those that love the outdoors (or work in them), but although the Casio G'zOne Commando has many great features, it also has a few setbacks as well.

Bloatware

Often unnecessary preinstalled software (commonly referred to as "bloatware") is usually an issue on phones that have bloatware installed on them '" and such is the case with the Casio G'zOne Commando smartphone. The Casio G'zOne Commando is just another victim of Verizon's notorious bloatware bundle that has been known to limit users' experiences by turning the default search into Bing, replacing Google Maps, and other somewhat annoying features.

Poor Call Quality

The Casio G'zOne Commando can resist water, dust, low temperatures, solar radiation and lots of other features that are likely to "wow" consumers, but for all of its many features its poor call quality might come as a surprise to many would-be enthusiasts. Smartphones are known to be "do-it-all" gadgets, but they first must make great phones and the call quality of the Casio G'zOne Commando is a major setback.

Camera Quality

Seeing how the Casio G'zOne Commando is a smartphone that has been tailored for outside use, you'd expect it to be one of the top of the line 12 megapixel cameras with dual LED flash support, but to the contrary, the Casio G'zOne Commando has an average 5 megapixel camera. A 5 megapixel camera can take pictures with decent quality, but an 8+ megapixel quality camera would better capture the outdoors.

No 4G

The Casio G'zOne Commando lacks 4G internet capabilities, but to be fair, it also features great 3G support and also has mobile Wi-Fi hotspot features. The lack of 4G support makes the otherwise great networking features of the Casio G'zOne Commando appear to be lacking and is a lost feature that would have better aided those looking to make this their choice for an outdoor centric smartphone.

Battery

If you were to check Casio and Verizon's respective websites for the Casio G'zOne Commando's specs, you'd discover that the G'zOne Commando has an advertised max of 7.5 hours of talk time, which isn't bad at all; it's just too bad that you're very unlikely to see 7.5 hours of battery life with this smartphone. While using the many apps and features of the Casio G'zOne Commando, you're likely to run out of battery in a few hours '" making it hard to use this smartphone for an extended amount of time in the outdoors.
