    Getting it set up was a bit of work but once that was completed the phone worked great. Cost was less than other brands and it offered more GB than the other brands. Screen good size for readability. Easy to use. Good call/receive quality. Nice phone for the price.

    Low Resolution screen and processor is ok,Need micro sd card for storage since it only comes with 3.5 gb free space out of 8 gb. Can be used as a spare/lonar phone. Price is good and it also water resistance.

    We bought this as a starter smart phone for our teenage daughter. We've had a couple of minor hickuos with apps, but a simple reboot fixes any snags. You can't get a better phone for the $40 spent.

    I bought this phone as an upgrade for my younger brother. Would have been a great phone even at a higher price, and the waterproof feature is an added bonus. Not a high end phone, but more features and a better processor than what he was using, so I'm the hero!

    This is not a high end phone, but it is serviceable if you need just a basic smartphone with a handful of apps for a great price. The service team at Best Buy was extremely helpful!

    Waterproofing is real deal, just needs to be fully dried after otherwise glitchy. Works great for who I got it for. A steal at the price i got it at.

    No space hardly for anything. Don't waste your time, anything under 32gb these days is useless! Phone is as slow as molasses!!! And not not really water resistance. Battery life is very poor. You get what you pay for. Lesson learned!!!

    I took my mother to Best Buy because she was finally getting a smart phone. I knew this would be the best thing for her, and I was right. This Kyocera was "slightly recommended" by the BB employee who helped us. Since I've had good results with Kyocera before, I agreed. I'm glad I did. My mom loves this phone! She's amazed at how easy it is to function and continues to learn more about it each day. Thanks Best Buy!

    Not Enough Storage

    This phone would be great if it had more storage! Even if you add an SD card, the older version of the Android OS that this ships with makes it difficult to install more than a few apps at a time. Android Lollipop is on this phone and is two generations behind the current version.
