The article will provide a reader with information on Casio G Zone Commando phone.  The phone is chunky, tough, and brutish.  There’s a high bezel surrounding and protecting the screen. It is covered in a rubbery material that provides a lot of grip. The back surface has a similar feel. It’s a big phone, wide and thick, and feels enormous in the hand. It is also fairly heavy.

The front of the Commando has black and red style cues around the display, which itself is recessed several millimeters. Directly below the display, Casio has placed four capacitive buttons for interacting with the Android system. The Home and Back buttons, which are in the middle, are easy to interact with.

The sides of the Commando are bristling with controls. The volume toggle is on the left, close to the top of the Commando.  Directly beneath it, Casio has given the Commando a dedicated button with which to launch its G’zGear application.  Below the G’zGear button, there are contacts for a dock. The metal contacts are recessed pretty deeply.  In the very bottom of the left side.

The 3.5mm headset jack is positioned on the top right side. It is hidden under a bulky hatch that protects it from water. The jack is also set fairly deep into the phone.  Below the headphone jack, there is a hatch covering the microUSB port. This hatch is also bulky, and the microUSB port itself is recessed deeply, too. This hatch also protects the Commando from water. There is also a camera button near the bottom.
The battery compartment of the Commando is sealed with a locking plate and rubber gaskets. If a user slides the lock switch to the side, then he/she will be able to pry the battery cover off. The microSD slot is buried under the battery.

The front of the device strikes a good balance between the screen size and QWERTY keyboard size. Between the display and the keyboard, there are four physical buttons for the standard Android controls.

The buttons on the keyboard have a healthy mound shape to them and the overall feel of the keyboard is pleasing. The volume toggle has an excellent shape.  On the right side, Samsung has positioned a voice command key near the top and a dedicated camera button closer to the bottom. Both buttons are easy to find and have good travel and feedback. The microUSB port is built into the Replenish’s bottom edge, and the 3.5mm headset jack and power/lock key are on top. The power/lock key feels great.

The battery cover will come off with some thumbnail pressure. The microSD card slot can be accessed easily once the battery cover is removed.  The Replenish’s screen measures 2.8 inches across the diagonal and offers a relatively measly 240 x 320 pixels. A user can easily see pixelated edges to icons, images and text from an arm’s length away.

The signal is quite good as well and so is the quality of the call.  If a user sets the sound to maximum, it doesn’t distort and break up.  The phone has an excellent battery life and even after using the phone for voice calls, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, messaging, browsing, etc. the battery life remained the same.  The Replenish uses the stock Google calling and contacts applications. From the home screen,  a user can press the phone icon and the dialer pops open. There is a large number pad in the middle of the screen, and there are four tabs along the top to access the call log, contacts and favorites.
