Nce phone that is easy enough. Bought this for my elderly father, to replace an outdated flip-phone, to get him the benefit of things like Google Maps (in case he needs directions), voice commands (in case he does not have his glasses to see), etc.... Seems to work well and he finds it easy enough to use. Affordable too!

I was worried at first about ordering so cheap a phone, but I was surprised how we;ll this phone does the Job. I get the internet, email and clear conversation's . Nothing fancy but for the price, it is worth it. One complaint, it does not have a loud ringer, but again for the price that is a small price to pay.

I bought this phone for my grandmother so she could download a specific app to talk to family and so she could download her music on there. It's easier for her to use and it's small design let's her hold on to it easier then the newer phones.

I got this phone at a very low price for black Friday. I bought it so my 3 and 6 year old could use it with our wifi since they always want mine or my husband's phone. The quality of this phone is very good the kids have drop it several times and still functioning properly. Very good phone and the price was amazing

This smartphone is great for the price. Very fast processor, big screen, good camera, good battery life. I bought this phone to use as a security camera and it's been great. I highly recommend it if you're thinking of using it for that.

The phone works fine and does what it is supposed to for a low budget phone. I just can't get over the poor quality screen. The color gets all washed out even at the smallest off angle view. It does make a good backup phone if you are worried about your top model phone getting damaged while on a work site or amusement part or mountain biking. Just pop your SIM into this and off you go. Get back home and pop the SIM back in your good phone and stick this phone in your drawer until needed again.

Using this as a backup. Impressed with the features for the price paid. Browsing speed is decent..GPS navigation is good and the battery holds pretty well for normal daily use. Recommend this phone if you are on a tight budget.

The phone is very fast in the beginning but drops off after several months. It was only supposed to be a month or two but turned into six which might have been too long to expect for a value phone. Good for short time and after a reset was good again for a while.

A very good phone for the price. The size and the screen size is exactly what I was looking for. Doesn't have to be a pocket breaker for the same price and functions of a pocket breaker. This phone rocks!!!

I am still experiencing a learning curve because I previously used a flip phone (my wife calls it an idiot phone). This works fine and I'm sure it will be better when the operator (me) knows more.

I bought this phone as an emergency get-me-by-phone. It works, as a phone, just don’t expect it to do anything fancy or rely on it as a smartphone. Camera is garbage, but I didn’t expect it to much for $20. It’ll download small apps but bigger ones aren’t compatible.

I paid 20 bucks for this cell phone it does a great job for phone calls and it runs some apps a little bit slow but it's good enough for the price. I would probably pay an extra 20 to $30 to get the next phone because I think it's going to be faster

Got this as a gift for my mother who was in dire need of a new phone...this is her 1st android, her first smartphone was a HTC surround windows phone. She is getting used to it pretty quickly and loves it. Great intro phone for 1St time android users.
