    Do yourself a favor don't buy this phone. Overall I like this phone but it constantly goes on mute during calls. I haven't found that there is any fix insight. If you search the web you will see this problem being very common. So if talking doesn't matter then the phone is fine but if you need it as a phone don't do it. You can't say you were not warned.

    Problems with speakers

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

    We bought this phone and had speaker problems from the beginning with crackling at high volume. We returned the phone and got a replacement. It too had speaker issues with the same problem which was fixed with starting in safe mode then going back to normal. After a month, the speaker gave issues again. It now doesn't ring through the speaker and you can't hear anyone through the speaker during any type of call.

    The speaker has static in it when it is on the highest setting. We are not able to hook it to the TV or computer monitor with an HDMI cable. Very disappointing!

    They said condition was "excellent" with all accessories included, but the box was marked condition "good", and was missing the user manual, quick switch adapter, and sim change tool. Without quick switch adapter, it is a PITA to migrate all my stuff from my old phone, so I really cannot tell if the phone works or not yet. I will have to order an adapter on my own.

    Bought this so I could send it to Nepal.. but when it was used with sim from there it said sim is not compatible... I have other friends who bought the same phone but it works in Nepal so can’t be the issue with SIM. Contacted Best Buy support they said it’s ok unlocked not sure what to do now..

    Phone was great at first however after a 2 second dip in water it was done for good. With the water resistance rating as high as it is it should have been fine.

    Phone keeps crashing

    Would give this phone 5 stars for its great photos. Unfortunately, it has crashed 2 times since I've had it (only a month) and have had to contact customer support and factory reset it each time. Google's customer service claims that I modified it, but I didn't. Then they told me that I should not install any apps on it. Why would I pay to buy a smart phone if I can't even install an approved app from the Google apps store? I've now been told to take it to an approved service agency to have them replace the motherboard.
