Horrible Phone
With its relatively low price and 16GB of internal memory, this phone may be appealing on the surface. But once you get it up and going you'll realize that you got what you paid for.
Memory: The internal memory is partitioned: only 2GB is reserved for apps and the rest is for pictures and data. There is well over 11GB remaining but if you are a heavy app user, that space is wasted because it cannot be accessed. True, you can save some space by moving apps to the SD card but many must remain on the phone and take up its memory. You'll be chipping away at the measly 2GB reserved for apps otherwise.
Performance: I can't tell you how many times this thing has frozen, restarted, etc. Operation can be sluggish and definitely not fluid.
I bought this phone as a temporary replacement for my S4 Active which is suffering from a shattered screen. But at least the 16GB memory on that phone is dedicated to app use and not partitioned. At this point, I'd much rather deal with a broken screen than deal with this joke of a device. If you are not a heavy app user then this phone may be just fine for you but if you like your apps, this phone will simply not do it for you and I would not recommend it.
