A:Answer I bought this phone back in November 2015. It charged quickly and held a charge for a whole day with minimal use of apps. However it quickly drained if I used GPS for driving directions or used the camera extensively. Worse, the battery recently stopped holding a charge (June 2016) and won't recharge. It is quite difficult to find a replacement battery. I love the phone, however, so am buying another one (because of the price) and will switch out the battery to replace into my original phone (so I don't have to lose my settings). By the time that battery dies, maybe I'll upgrade to a more reliable phone.
