Phone for younger ages
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found that this phone is perfect for my 12 year old as his first phone. It does what it needs. Texts, calls, basic internet, apps, it seems to work well and is Android based so he uses What'sApp to text overseas on our regular data plan without additional charges. He has dropped it and it has managed to not be cracked or broken yet. It is difficult to find covers and accessories as it is not a popular name brand, but since it was below $100 for the phone, I don't think I will worry too much about trying to keep it so nice. Once he breaks this one, he knows he has to pay for the next one. I would recommend this for someone who doesn't need a fancy phone and just wants affordable and functional. It was a great price at $60 and does everything my husband's Samsung does and most of what my iPhone4 does.

Good basic phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a basic phone that will do everything you wish, at a fraction of the price. This is a good temporary or backup phone. For starters, it has less memory(512MB = 0.5GB) ,a dual core processor and only 4GB of storage. You can increase the storage by adding an SDHC card(up to 64GB) for a small price. However, you will notice the effects of the memory and processor when you run something like Waze on it. Also, the camera is only a 2MP camera vs. 8MP or 12MP in the more popular phones. So, you will not get very sharp pictures. Again, this is an Android phone that will do most of what you want for a very small price (less than sixty bucks). Also, the box says it's a 3G phone, not a 4G phone. So, please verify before buying. If you are going to keep the phone for a long time, invest in a phone with more features and power.

Well-designed inexpensive smart phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use a tablet to store info, browse internet, etc., so I don't need much from a phone; basically just to make calls, an occasional text, & store contacts. I don't need it to take award-winning photos of my latest expedition for NatGeo, process special effects for the scifi blockbuster I'm producing, monitor how much oxygen I have left, etc. :) This phone replaced a 5-year old (I know, ready for a museum) non-smart phone that still worked & was, frankly, perfectly adequate for my modest needs, but whose 2G technology was being phased out by my carrier. I spent a long time looking for a phone that would perform those basic functions easily w/o demanding a lot of attention for setup or requiring me to pay a premium for features I'd never use. This phone has fit the bill perfectly - the transition was almost seamless: I found the operating system intuitive - it took a couple of minutes to transfer the contacts from my old phone w/the SIM card, & I was able to figure out how to do whatever else I needed to do pretty quickly. Within a few days I was operating as comfortably as I'd been w/the phone I'd used for years. The occasional photo or internet access has been suitable for my modest needs. 2 minor points: 1) I miss having the ability to assign custom ring-tones to some contacts; 2) also miss built-in ability to block particular numbers, but there are 3rd party apps for those things, & I don't consider them deal breakers. I'd definitely recommend this phone to anyone who wants basic functions & doesn't want to pay for a lot of unneeded bells & whistles.

Decent Phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave this as a gift to be used in Canada. This is a great phone for a starter smart phone. Very easy to use and the instructions are easy to follow. The only issues so far are that the phone froze one time, and had to be turned off to restore, finding a decent case is hard and the charger blew, need to be careful of the type of voltage you plug it in. Other that those few hiccups this is a very nice phone.

Nice phone, great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this smartphone for my mother. Basically she needs telephone calls, SMS messages and WhatsApp messages, plus photos. So far, it has surpassed my expectations in terms of performance, screen responsiveness, connectivity and battery life. Definitely a nice device

Good Price for Unlocked Phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed more memory so I decided to look for a phone that was unlocked but wasn't trying to pay a lot of money. I came across this phone for 49.99 at the time and it was easy to set up with the sim card I had from T-Mobile. Basic phone with option to add your own memory card for more apps/ pictures... Camera isn't the best of course but excellent in great lighting or in the sun.

Great for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this phone so I could call home from the Middle East. It works great & has dual SIM card slots so I can actually put my work phone SIM inside it & just carry the 1 phone! I love that feature. I haven't used it for pics yet & the key pad is a little smaller than what I'm use to (Samsung S6), but it does the job quite well. Make sure to put the screen protector on!

Bought for international use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Traveled overseas bought this as the dual sim feature worked well in multiple countries I visited. Pretty good for easy usage. But use to regular phone felt os was a little slow in locating and selecting apps.
