First, I will say that I was hesitant to purchase this phone due to limited reviews. However, I really needed the 6" screen. It is 720p and I wish that it was greater. Nonetheless, I was able to increase the font and after maximizing the screen's brightness, I can see better. This may affect the battery but I'm going to attach to a battery pack when using heavily to watch videos or browsing Pinterest and social sites. Battery is only average and did not last more than 8 hours. I tried it on a day that I was away from home all day. The camera is only average. You really need to be outdoors to get the best pictures. Honestly, the best camera phone I know belongs to the Windows phone 640. That is even in comparison to the iPhone 7 plus. Storage is great with the ability to use a 128gb micro SD card formatted to this phone's memory. You can't do this with many other phones which mandates a full star. Cases and tempered glass screen protector arrived in 2 days with Amazon Prime. The phone is lightweight but strongly built. Internet connection was fine, as well as Bluetooth connection, which is mandatory for myself due to chronic neck issues. However, it felt really comfortable placed up to my ear on a call. Finally, no complaints of anyone not being able to hear me. The subtracted star is for the speakerphone option. The call was very muffled and the receiver could not hear me clearly at all. I think that I may need to exchange phone but opted out as I will not be using it and this will not be a permanent phone. I only use phones for about 6 months and I change. I am currently searching for a 6" with at least a 21mp camera and 8mp front facing. This 2mp front cam has a flash also. I will update later with the feature Polaroid review.

Phone is big, beautiful, functions great, battery is good, just love it..best purchase of the year for us..and cost efficient compared to other phones this size! Having 16GB of memory is great for me, as I am self-employed and can store lots of information for my job on it. Time will tell if this phone is as good as I was hoping.

Bought 2 of these, for 12 yr old daughter and self. Love cricket reception in my spotty area. Really happy with phone. Amazing amount of internal storage. Faster than any other cheap phone I have had. Sound quality great. Only complaints? Not the best camera(its okay) sometimes slows on internet.
