I needed a phone quick and for a cheap price. Happened to go to the store in Rockwall and find this gem. It's been about 3 weeks and so good so far.

Prior to this cell I had a Samsun Galaxy Sol. There's things about it I like better but there's also things about this Idol 3 I like better. It takes pretty food photos (better than my sol) however, the best quality (13mp) has a small resolution.
Call quality is better than my Sol but there is a lot of background noise, crackling, that I hear. The cell is decently fast for surfing the net and using apps but it does seem to lock up more than my old cell.
Overall not the best cell but for the price and considering its a no contract cell it's not bad at all.

So far the phone has been great. The screen is bright and clear and the dual front facing speakers are loud and clear. The phone has a good receive and phone calls are clear on both ends. I also like the LED notification light letting you know you have missed a call or text message. The operation of the phone is fast and smooth and I have not experienced any lag.

Purchased for my spouse. She loves it. We have always used decent budget phones. No need to spend a fortune on a phone. She is very happy with it. The screen is nice, the speakers are loud and clear, it can run all the apps she needs. Battery life is good. No major complaints. It works as expected. Considering buying another one to replace my older smartphone.

The sound is great. The screen size is good. Very difficult to add contacts or erase apps I don't want. I don't like that it dials numbers while in my purse. I wish Cricket had more phones to choose from in this price range. I wouldn't buy this phone again.

My husband anf i made the switch from verizon to prepaid, and so we got these idols. They were pretty cheap at 100 each and have expandable memory, the camera is fair and free visual mailbox. My only complaint is the ram quickly gets overloaded so you'll be continuously closing apps to use others.

I bought this as a second phone. I do like the jbl speakers on the front. Although it can be a little laggy a times it still a good phone for the price.

This is a good phone for the money, unfortunately with only 2gb of ram it tends to get slow and chug along when you start to put apps on it. Camera is decent but not great, battery life is ok. The best thing about this phone is the display, it looks really good and you don't usually see a 1080p display at this price.
