    I needed a stop gap phone for about a week til my first choice came in, and this one was serviceable. The calls were nice and loud and the screen is big but that's really where the positives end. Battery life is real bad. By 2pm at work, without heavy usage, I was at less than 50% Screen doesn't get bright at all. I had trouble making out what was on the screen even in indirect sunlight. Even at 59.99 it was barely worth the price. I wouldn't pay more than that for a phone like this. I will say that for my area and usage, Cricket Wireless so far is superior than Boost. I get 4g in areas where I couldn't before.

    Servers it's purpose. It's a little slow when multiple applications are open. It doesn't connect to my Moto 360 2nd generation watch. It's pretty large in size so if you want a large phone good option. Overall not too bad for the price.

    This is my 2nd review and after using for 2 months. First, getting a good picture is almost impossible so if wanting to take alot of pictures, please choose another phone. Even with the suggested app to improve photos does not work well. Capturing a screenshot is extremely easy with the press of a button from the dropdown menu. I really like having this feature because I'm an avid planner girl, Davenpeep, and Pinterest fan. This phone is pretty sturdy and I found a glass screen protector and case on Amazon that has protected from a few drops. Like some other reviews, the speakerphone is almost impossible to be heard and needs to be redesigned. Calls with and without Bluetooth receive well. Text messages are received well from non-iPhone users. I have trouble with group messages and viewing pictures from iphones. Over-all, I think if this phone we're $40, it would be decent but I would never recommend anyone pay $80 or more. There are definitely better buys with a much better battery also. The battery on this phone is horrible and drains super fast.

    This Smartphone was not as smart as smart phones I owned in the past. I should have check this phone out more, but I was more intrigue with the large screen. Large screen or not, this phone was a nightmare.

    Great phone for my two teenagers, cannot find phone cases. Ordered online through Amazon and it's not worth it. If you buy, take the phone to another buyer to match the size with another case.

    I bought this phone twice and ended up returning them. This phone was slow and the quality was cheaply made. I was hoping it would work but you get what you pay for.
