    Although it appears to have an LED indicator it doesn't. There is no visual alert when the phone is charged or when I have new messages which the model I had before did. I would have thought this model would have had those features since it was 3 years newer. The older phone I had also had an auto dimmer for the display so when you were out and bright sunny was brighter when you were inside in the evening it dimmed. I liked that feature but I'm sure I'll get used to not having it. All in all, I do still like the Samsung products. Needs more memory. Next time, I'll just have to be sure that I shop all the features before I make a purchase.

    Nice phone wasn't very expensive but the battery life isn't to great, the phone sounds and displays were pretty good but unfortunately the longer you iwn this phone the more aware of it's short comings you start to see, takes decent pictures and has good quality sound but with a little more extras that should have been added this phone would easily be rated 5 stars.

    If you're looking for a phone for basic use this is a good phone for that but if you need a phone with all the bells and whistles then get an iPhone or a Galaxy 8

    This is a quick phone to use for a few months until you can get a newer model. I got it on sale and it worked for a while before freezing up.
