    A little bit disappointed with the purchase... the phone had to be replaced three times due to sound issues or failure for the phone to ring when calls were received. In fact, callers still have problems hearing me unless I plug in the earphones.

    My phone would not work I tried using Re-Boost and it didn't work I tried changing it to Straight Talk buying a SIM card costing me $60 and it didn't work when I bought the phone I made sure it was an unlocked phone but I'm told it's locked who knows so now I've tried to change it with another phone at Best Buy locally and they don't have it in stock so I have to wait even longer the worst part is this was a gift for a friend so I am now the middleman trying to get them their phone dealing with you guys becoming more and more frustrated and I lost $60 trying to do it the Straight Talk way

    was a gift for my brother and seems to work good. there was a problem with the headphone port and a pair of ear buds got stuck in it and the phone was ruined. be carefully with your headphones.

    This phone was ok for about the first 2 weeks. I was just thinking i needed to work out the kinks on my end because out was new... yeah right! Battery life is HORRIBLE! I can't express enough not to buy this from best buy because if you get a defective our damaged model like in sure i did, it has to be shipped to Samsung for them to look at it and decide if they will replace or repair it. I don't know about anyone else but i have 2 children and once is disabled. I can not be without a phone for a month or more! Im so

    First of all let me start by saying that this is not a 2016 version, it is 2015. When I went to the store to pick up the product it took for ever, 30 mins standing in line, because they couldnt find an item for a custumer infront of me.. They ended up giving him another custumer's item.The sale associate was very rude everybody in line was complaining...horrible service.. the phone is allright but it is not a 2016. You can get this 2015 version cheaper some where else..

    Good phone for the price

    I've owned this phone for more than 2 months now. I bought this phone for myself to replace a Samsung galaxy 3. What a difference! The battery life is really great. I listen to audio books for hours each day, check email, Facebook, shop online all kinds of things and the battery really holds up well. The phone itself is pretty big, with the protective case I chose to go on it, it is almost too big to fit in the back pocket of my jeans. It is also almost too big to use conveniently one handed. I thought I would love it's much larger (than my previous phone's ) size, but honestly the next time I buy a phone I'll probably go a tiny bit smaller. Which is why I only gave it 4 stars. It's a great phone, fast, reliable, good graphics, easy to use, so if the big size sounds like something you would love I'd say go for it!

    Junk

    I hate this phone. I wish I had googled the problems with this phone. Poor battery life, freezes, turns off on its own, restarts on its own and once the screen blurred into different colors turned blue and shut off. Nothing really added to the phone app wise and never to any websites other than stuff like ESPN and MetallicA's website. I'd understand if it was old or been to taboo websites, but the phone is around a month old.

    This device was not what I was expecting because was slow and also feels like a toy (pure plastic). Tried for 2 or 3 days and returned.
