DISPLAY AND DESIGN
The display of the iLand Genesys 3 device is set at 5.5 inch HD. Quite a handy one it is. The Genesys 3 is a very sleek and beautiful device. There is a physical home button that doubles as the fingerprint sensor for security. The volume buttons are strategically located on the right side of the device. Genesys 3 has a Dual SIM capability with a memory stick slot.
OS AND PROCESSOR
The iLand Genesys 3 runs on an Android operating system v6.0 Marshmallow. This is as it is built on an Octa Core Processor.
RAM AND INTERNAL STORAGE
Taking care of the smooth running of applications and switching between applications on the phone is a 2 GB RAM. A 2 GB RAM might not be the best option, but then, a pretty smooth running of apps is guaranteed. For your storage of music, videos, documents and other files, a 16GB internal storage is provided. This storage can be expanded with the use of a micro SD card.
CAMERA
On its rear, the phone spots a 13 MP camera. This comes with auto-focus and flash. While on the front is an 8 MP camera. This front-facing camera comes with a soft flash too. I’d give it to the iLand Genesys 3 in this department.
BATTERY
As its powerhouse, the iLand Genesys 3 packs a 3,200mAh removable battery. It would sure be very appropriate for moderate users. Heavy users might need to go for something higher. With this capacity, it might barely last a full day on heavy usage.

I bought the Iland Genesys 3 4g for 36,000 IN June and once I connected it to the internet, I started getting pop up ads. The ads became intrusive, forced itself on my browsers and other applications and even began installing unsolicited apps on my phone. I did a soft reset and a hard resent, and the virus did not go. So I went online to find the root of the problem and found that the phone came with malwares from the manufacturer. I finally took my office leave in September and went to the iland mobile store in Ikeja where I was told that there was nothing that could be done about the malware as it came with the phone. After insisting that they change the O.S they decided to humour me, and did whatever to make the malwares disappear , then a week later the malwares reappeared with the pop up ads and the intrusive installations.
The malwares that came with the phone are Android innovation and Support.
And if you check the system app you’ll see the com.android.snap malware too which is actually com.gyaun.android.
I also went online to check for the actual makers of this phone and I am 99.9% sure it is not made by Nigerians. But a western country that sees third world nations as a dumping ground for rejected brands.
Sure the phone is heavy and strong, but if you do not want to have your life annoyed by this malware, you might want to get a phone from a known brand with a good reputation.
