Great Phone
I am very satisfied with my phone, the screen size is great, good battery life, excellent cameras. Accurate (GPS), I couldn’t ask for more for the price a paid, I had a Samsung S4 and IPhone 5C, to mi opinion the BLUE is better by all means. I use it overseas quite a lot because it is unlocked so I save money because I buy the local service..

Convenient for multiple lines
The buttons are pretty hard to push, so expect to have to put a little extra effort into turning your phone on/off or changing the volume. Other than that, it does its job. I have two sim cards in mine from Family Mobile (one personal, one for my small business). Quick note on the dual sims: one slot is a micro, the other is a standard. Note a deal breaker, but cases are pretty tough to find. You're not going to be able to dress it up very much. It's a GREAT way to cut down on the number of phones you have to carry around, though!

solid performer. battery life not as good as expec
The phone is a solid performer. Price is significantly lower than other popular Android brands. Processor is noticeably slower causing lag between certain screen transitions. Battery life is good when new but declined after 6 months based on my observation and less than average frequency of use.
