    LGs are good phones & this Risio 2 is a great upgrade from Risio 1, bigger screen with double memory and fast too. You can NOT beat it for this price

    Great phone for $30. Flagship phone? No, but it's half the phone for 5% of the cost and still Android 6 (as compared to other phones that are merely cheap because they are old, ie Android 4). A real step up from my previous prepaid phone in terms of performance, but a step back in build. I can load plenty of apps in the onboard flash (10 GB available/usable out of 16 GB), save their data to a 64 GB microSD card, and keep them open in the 1.5 GB of RAM. All this leads to snappy performance and not the lags, skips, and stutters on my old Android 4 phone. In comparison the phone falls behind in build quality. The plastic case flexes and creaks when you grab it. The volume rocker is inconveniently placed, at least for my hands, and the volume is often changed accidentally, but at least I no longer power off my phone merely holding it now that the power button is in the middle of the back of the case, which took a while to get use to. My previous phone was metal with a thin layer of rubber and had a firm, but grippy, feel. Not that I think this phone is going to break in your hand, but it doesn't instill confidence. Can be carrier unlocked for cheap if you know where to look.

    Purchased this item as a gift for a teenager. He loved it! Screen is large, battery life is good, back silver cover makes it look more expensive. Recommend.

    A Nice Replacement

    I recently dropped my Motorola and needed a replacement phone. I like that this phone has 4x the internal memory my old one had. I love having a camera flash again. I thought having the power button on the back would be weird but I quickly got used to it. Now when I grab other phones I reach to the back, lol. Also it uses a Nano SIM card which is really tiny. So if your old phone is a couple years old that old card might not fit without modification. I was able to modify my old card really easy using tutorials I found online. The volume of the speaker is pretty good. Overall I rather enjoy this phone. CONS: I wish it had Gorilla Glass. It's really slick without a case. Any other complaints I have would probably be more with this version of Android rather than the phone itself.

    Great priced entry model handset packed with many surprises, 16gb internal memory , capable of handling 64gb sd card, and apps can be moved in to the sd card as well, make sure to format the sd card and setup as internal storage under storage options, fyi it will erase entire sd, but you can use it as a internal storage, great quality great value much recommended

    This is a good product for a beginner or someone who's life doesn't revolve around the use of their phone. Has all the features I need plus many that I will never use. Cricket has been wonderful so far and the Best Buy employees were very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Great backup phone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I needed a phone with <16gb storage and <1.5gb of ram. This was the cheapest one I could find. It works fine. The camera is mediocre, but the phone performance is quite decent for a budget phone. This definitely is a great backup phone for those times you need to send a phone in for warranty repair, but the camera leaves a lot to be desired for using it as a primary phone.

    I didn't even activate this phone. I just use it for the wifi and because it has 16gb of internal memory. I use it daily at work to listen to the radio on the different apps. It's been working great for me for that and it was a good price.
