This is my first smart phone, so I can't really compare it to any others. I work on a golf course, so at first, I wanted the Galaxy S5 since it is waterproof. But I did not want to spend close to $500 for my first smart phone. I find it fast enough. I have had no freezing or crashing with it. With the apps I have installed, I am averaging about 15 to 20 hours out of it depending on how I am using it. With the screen brightness turned down, it can easily last my entire work day, while continuously streaming radio/music and checking the weather frequently. Main reasons why I picked this phone: *Got it on sale for $99.99 *micro SD card for extra storage (unlike the S6) *The battery is removable (unlike the S6) *Good quality from a good brand. Criticisms: *The cameras are decent, but not great *Not waterproof *While, the plastic back plate covering the battery and micro SD slot is easy to take off, it is pretty flimsy and of low quality. (I immediately searched the online stores for protective accessories and bought a protective case and tempered glass screen protector). *Presently, accessories for the Galaxy Prevail LTE are hard to find at your local retail stores. Other thoughts: I did not get the insurance through Boost Mobile for the phone. To save $7/month I went with BestBuy's $30 for a year insurance. The phone was cheap enough that I thought if I get a bit more than a year out of it, I would be satisfied. Plus, I think I may want to upgrade by then to a higher tier of smart phone. All and all, this a great starter phone!

The Samsung Prevail LTE is fast and easy to use. The screen is a nice size to watch videos on, and I love the amount of memory that it comes with. The only downfall for this phone is the battery life. I have to charge it once a day after normal usage, but I don't mind that if everything else is working on it. The camera is decent, and there are plenty of options to suit your needs. It's a great phone for the price, and looks just like the more expensive models that Samsung makes. I really do love my phone!

Overall nice phone for the price. Has good sound, takes nice pictures and videos. Really love the fact that it has super long battery life. Phone is easy to use and is just the right size. Not too small and not too big. It's also lightweight. I love it.
