Wow!
Going to make this simple and quick. Screen is awesome(better than my iPhone 6s) and so are the speakers. Camera is just okay. Does fine in a pinch, but for the price, I'm not going to complain. SD card expansion a BIG plus. Battery is great based on my usage(moderate to heavy), yours may differ. Connections to wifi, Bluetooth and T-Mobile worked without a hitch. Processor was fairly zippy with a little lag if you leave too much running in the background. On occasion it even matched my iPhone for speed. GPU does okay. Here's where the hiccup occurred. If you don't perform all of the available updates, the phone may act weird right out of the box. App crashes left and right, but once you're fully updated it should be smooth sailing. I bought this as a back-up phone, but found I was using it more and more everyday. It's not an iPhone or a Galaxy S6 or 7, but for the price and what you get out of it, I would recommend it without hesitation.

Allllllllmost had it all
Phone is great. Big, bright, high resolution screen. Great sounding stereo speakers. Better than good enough performance from the processor and ram. Onlllllly complaint and it's a big one is the camera. I bought this phone as a spare/emergency/media player so wasn't expecting much from the camera. But you need the most perfect conditions just to take "good" pictures. So one star off for that. Other than that is runs and performs as well as the big boys at a fraction of the cost. (Pro tip: have Best Buy match the Amazon price. I got my idol 3 $99) Phone is worth its retail price or 200-250 easyyyyyyyyz. But still, wait for an Amazon sale and have Best Buy match it.

Good Phone
This has been a great phone so far... I have been impressed with everything about it so far, especially given the price. I would have expected to pay much more for the phone. I will say the One Touch launcher was not for me, but there are plenty of other launchers. Also, it updated to Marshmallow as soon as I had a good data signal. The reversing UI is great. The speakers and JBL headphones are good too, Overall, definitely worth it... no contract and unlocked.
