I've bought a new cheap smartphone every year for 5 years and this one tops mainly because it has the most internal storage space. All my other phones could only run a handful of apps or less after a year's worth of updates taking up my storage space. I would put as much into my SD card but they had to first be downloaded into the phone, and it would often glitch and crash when I put them to the card on my ZTE sonata 2. The ZTE sonata 1 and 2 had great sound quality. The 1 had best battery life of any phone i've had, and I loved the compact size similar to iPhones. The canvas has poor speakerphone quality and decent call quality, but not the worst. Camera is great at this price. It did have an interface malfunction once when I was expecting a very important call, and my phone never rang when it was called because of this. Ironically, that's the only time that has happened. Sometimes I have to tap twice for the screen to acknowledge my tap, but that may be partially due to my using a glass screen protector.

I really wanted to be in love with this phone. It has a lot of good features for a low price, including the screen size, cameras, and ability to hold a large microchip. The catch is that the phone frequently freezes up on me, especially in gmail. A few times the microphone has also died, leaving my callers wondering what happened to me. If there's a way to circumvent these issues, it's a fantastic phone for the price

Wow is exactly what I thought to myself. I must admit I was both skeptical & drawn to this particular phone when I first saw it. After what seemed as though a hour I purchased it. Boy was I surprised by how much this phone could do. The best part that I licked was the fact it doesn't drop calls as my LG did and any other before that. It was not a "luck of the draw " seeing that iv traveled to the city several times and it didn't drop a call in the usual areas. The second thing I loved was the camera. Seeing that I'm very photogenic , I take a lot of selfies. The pictures were crystal clear. So summing up my review I will say yes I would definitely recommend not only the canvas but any other coolpad phone
