    Not unlocked?

    I cannot comment on the functionality because it cannot be used. I specified that I needed an unlocked phone and I also specifies the country where the phone was to be used. It was a gift that has already been sent overseas. The phone cannot be used because it is NOT unlocked. MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN.

    Slow!

    So slow as to be unusable. There must be some sort of defect with the radios in this, or the processor can't handle the LTE and wifi speeds - LTE doesn't go above 4-5 Mbps, and wifi doesn't go above 20-30. The LTE defect is a dealbreaker. Going back.

    What at terrible phone!!! Nothing but problems. It changes the time to another zone on it's own. Won't connect to home wifi, and several other problems.

    I bought this phone for my Mother, the problem she seems to be having with it is the volume button is very finicky. The ringer gets turned off on a daily basis. Cell phone reception is not very good, slot of the time when I am talking to her it sounds like she's under water.

    Bought as a open box. Will never do that again. When the phone was reset. It was locked and no matter how many U tube videos I watched. I was unable to unlock the phone. They kept asking for the previous pin set on the telephone.

    This is the worst phone I have ever had. I wish I could rate this with a half of star. To make matters even worse I can return this piece of trash. The restocking fee is $35 for this $80 piece of trash.
