Hanspree smart phone...Any thoughts?

Just come across this on Misco but I cant find any reviews anywhere.

 

Hannspree 5" HD Octa-core/ Dual SIM/ 1GB / 16GB Smartphone (IDSSN50MC1) - www.misco.co.uk

 

Is that a good/bad/indifferent spec for a smart phone?

Not a bad spec in honesty. Dual sim is a bonus, but its lack of 4G would annoy me (I use a lot of data)

Im looking for a new phone as my Samsung S3 is dying but I really cant afford a new one on contract (im on PAYG) or pay hundreds upfront.

That's pretty much in line with my phone (an LG L90) minus a few niceties like NFC and quickremote. Still, dual SIM could be useful and frankly for the price you could do a lot worse. You can often improve the speed/reliability of phones by flashing a custom rom like Cyanogenmod on them (very easy on the S3). maybe worth looking at as the S3 is still a capable device. CM still running on my wife's S2 and it's rapid.
