I actually bought 3 of these by the time things were said and done. I am using them all on T-Mobile. They are for sure not a high end phone. The 3 I bought are being used by 3 different people that use the phones differently. I will do my best to give a review based on the different uses. I use my phone mostly for email, calendar,gps, and light gaming. My last phone was a note 5. I enjoy the seemingly less bloatware on this phone. I also like the Google apps acting more natively. This screen is for sure bigger and I like it. The screen is not as responsive as the note, but as this phone is drastically less I wasn't surprised. The camera seems to work fine with lots of light and low motion. I also enjoy the fact that I can unplug it at 3 AM use it through the day and it not be dead when I get home 14 hours later. Many days I get home with over 40% battery left. My great aunt (89yo) is coming from an iPhone 5s. She really enjoys the larger (almost double) screen size. I can hear you now, how dare I compare this phone to an iPhone! She used it for 2 things: phone calls and Facebook. She really likes the larger screen to view Facebook in the evening. As she has only been in the touch screen world for 2 years she seems to do well with the screen as it tends to need a stiffer touch and she really pushes on screens! She is still figuring out and finding a good way to hold this monster phone and use it. My wife tolerates this phone, but she uses it differently. She is coming from a Galaxy S7. She uses it mostly to chat with her friends, as a camera, Facebook and shop on Amazon. It works for her shopping and Facebook. However the front camera can't keep up with her face to use the talking filters in Snapchat. The cameras also don't take nearly as nice a picture as the S7. For me it seems like the cameras just don't focus the quickest. Overall my recommendation on buying this phone depends on your needs. A nice general purpose phone this is it. If you need a media powerhouse this is not for you. Also included in the box is a cover and screen protector, very nice that to they were included so we could use them till we could get different cases from Amazon. At the end of the day, I'll probably keep mine and end up doing something different for my wife.
