very great!...didn't try yet!....Any chance to remove the Chinese app?

also I noticed (only very disappointing point so far about this phone) that videos are recorded at 30fps FHD only with enough light condition (outdoor morning). If indoor (e.g. evening with artificial light) the fps drop to 16-17fps and I suspect it has to do with some exposure compensation! Is there any way to improve this? It would be amazing!....
