    First, I will say that I was hesitant to purchase this phone due to limited reviews. However, I really needed the 6" screen. It is 720p and I wish that it was greater. Nonetheless, I was able to increase the font and after maximizing the screen's brightness, I can see better. This may affect the battery but I'm going to attach to a battery pack when using heavily to watch videos or browsing Pinterest and social sites. Battery is only average and did not last more than 8 hours. I tried it on a day that I was away from home all day. The camera is only average. You really need to be outdoors to get the best pictures. Honestly, the best camera phone I know belongs to the Windows phone 640. That is even in comparison to the iPhone 7 plus. Storage is great with the ability to use a 128gb micro SD card formatted to this phone's memory. You can't do this with many other phones which mandates a full star. Cases and tempered glass screen protector arrived in 2 days with Amazon Prime. The phone is lightweight but strongly built. Internet connection was fine, as well as Bluetooth connection, which is mandatory for myself due to chronic neck issues. However, it felt really comfortable placed up to my ear on a call. Finally, no complaints of anyone not being able to hear me. The subtracted star is for the speakerphone option. The call was very muffled and the receiver could not hear me clearly at all. I think that I may need to exchange phone but opted out as I will not be using it and this will not be a permanent phone. I only use phones for about 6 months and I change. I am currently searching for a 6" with at least a 21mp camera and 8mp front facing. This 2mp front cam has a flash also. I will update later with the feature Polaroid review.

    Phone is big, beautiful, functions great, battery is good, just love it..best purchase of the year for us..and cost efficient compared to other phones this size! Having 16GB of memory is great for me, as I am self-employed and can store lots of information for my job on it. Time will tell if this phone is as good as I was hoping.

    Bought 2 of these, for 12 yr old daughter and self. Love cricket reception in my spotty area. Really happy with phone. Amazing amount of internal storage. Faster than any other cheap phone I have had. Sound quality great. Only complaints? Not the best camera(its okay) sometimes slows on internet.

    This phone actually works better than the more expensive phone I bought at another store. Other phone kept getting too hot and camera never worked when needed. This is great if you have a low budget and need something with good basics.

    For this price (80) the screen is huge. The processor speed is very good the only downside is that the screen bright is lame on sunlight and phone volume on calls too.

    I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks, but so far, I am really liking it. I love the 6-inch screen, which makes it easier to see even when I'm not wearing my glasses. Having 16GB of memory is great for me, as I am self-employed and can store lots of information for my job on it. Time will tell if this phone is as good as I was hoping.

    I needed another phone after getting my last phone wet on the kayak. I have enjoyed this phone and the features that it offers. My only complaint is the lack of volume for phone conversations. Unless I am wearing a headset the volume is not loud enough. For the cost it's really not a bad deal at all.

    I love my phone, the screen is large and it gets bright so you wont have to bring the brightness all the way up. The speaker on the phone for music gets loud but with phonecalls its not. But ive bought a few of the same phones for family. Its really great!!! Con to this phone is you cant get a smart watch or fitness tracker to sync with it otherwise i would recommend it!!

    This is a powerful phone with a large, easy to see screen. It’s very responsive and easy to use. It is larger than a typical phone and doesn’t always fit comfortably in a pocket, but that the larger screen is worth it.
