    The screen is 1080p but the colors are really washed out, so I prefer a Samsung Super AMOLED 720p screen. Android 6 is good and the phone is relatively fast.

    The screen is not that good, is grainy and the pictures are as well, but the phone is actually nice looking very slim and lite, it is running stock Android so it's pretty fast when moving through menus and such it's a decent phone non the less

    My daughter owned this phone before someone stole it on our vacation. She loves the camera and I loved the fact that Best Buy sales them in store so I was able to purchase another one for her right away.

    Dropped my last phone and smashed the screen to bits. Purchased this one as a replacement. Works and looks great, and the camera takes beautiful pictures. Would highly recommend.

    I like going through all the functions on the phone to see the what they do or don't do. The only thing I would like a bigger screen..

    Great android for the price. RAM size is adequate for normal use. Some adware included but not a problem. Cricket network is AT&T
