    The Best Way to Earn Money and Talk!

    This phone was better than I thought! The 6.5in screen is wonderful and BOTH! It came with a phone case, 64gb SD card, earbuds, charging cord, AND charging block! I did not have to use one of my own blocks. It allows me to still earn as I charge, lock / unlock screen, play games, search the web, and more! It's just like the app, BUT with that extra perk! I am so happy I made this purchase!

    Regarding the phone itself, it is a little quirky at times, but it's functional. The volume button is very sensitive and takes large jumps up or down, so it's hard to find a good medium volume. The screen is very bright, but can be turned down if needed (positive thing). The EarnMode portion is ongoing. Some of the games are actually fun and the music provided has many channels to choose from. You earn points by staying on the Lock Screen or charging the phone, reading news and doing surveys. The money real, translating to gift cards and other incentives.

    I had been using Mode Earn App on an older Motorola G5 that was my around the house, earn money phone and this phone is the replacement for that phone. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase, breaking down into a little pro/con list below Pros: * Includes a lot of extras that you dont even get with phones that are $1000+ anymore. Charger brick, cable, headphones, case, sd card, and a pre-installed screen protector * Performance is great for everyday usage. I have been playing a variety of games on the phone without any issues, and going through the UI feels great. It is definitely faster and smoother feeling than the G5 that it is replacing * Earning, if you use Mode, especially on an iphone, this phone unlocks a good amount more earning. And yes, for those questioning it, Mode does pay out on redemptions in a very timely manner, I have earned a handful of paypal and mastercard giftcard payments in the roughly 8 months using the app on my G5 and a week or so on this phone * Feel - it is a big phone, but the screen is good, battery life is amazing, and the soft touch finished back makes the phone have a good grip and hand feel when holding it Cons: * Charging - it takes awhile to charge, granted it has a large battery so that is part of it. And I am only able to charge it from USB-A to USB-C cables/bricks, trying to use a USB-C to USB-C cable with a fast charger the phone doesn't pick up the charger * Update frequency - not sure how often or how long this phone is supported for software updates. My phone is currently on an April 2021 build with no available update Overall, the cons I have are pretty small for how I use the phone, and for others might not even matter. At the end of the day, the phone is a very well performing phone at a very reasonable price, and if you want to or already use Mode, it is a no brainer in my opinion to boost your earnings and have a newer phone at a great price. Do not expect flagship performance like a Galaxy S22 out of it, but it keeps up with midrange devices without an issue

    I first was interested in this phone after using the mode earn app on my galaxy s10. I bought the mode earn phone to use as a secondary work phone. So far it's been great! Like others have mentioned it's very neat that everything is included with the phone. The headphones, case, charger and even an sdcard really make it more of a phone package. Usually I hate preloaded apps coming on a new phone but after setting up and signing into my mode account on this phone it's been more of an added feature and not an unwanted app. I've done a lot of reward apps but this is the only one I've found that will give you points just for listening to music. Love using to it to just find a station I like while I'm in the office and earning points while it plays. I'm on track to cover the cost of the phone in about a month! The phone itself has a surprisingly great screen, the camera is excellent and I would say it takes even better pictures in low light than my galaxy s10. No issues with processing power either, since getting it I've added on about 25 apps or so and it runs all of them very nicely with a quick response rate when switching between apps and such. Only thing i would have to say negatively is the case is a bit flimsy, but pretty easy to purchase a new case and great to have something to cover it while I look for a different one.

    The screen is bright, with accurate colors and nothing looks washed out. The sound quality is great! I love that I can use it to earn gift cards (and it really does pay you to listen to music!) and by browsing the web, checking the weather, etc. All stuff I do daily anyway. The battery life on it is great, I can go more than a day without charging it if I'm listening to music, but it does drain faster if I'm gaming. It's great for gaming and taking photos as well - the photo quality is on par with my Samsung Galaxy 21. I love that it came with a case, and I can never have enough USB-C cords sonce all of my devices use them, so the phone including the cord/charger, earphones, and the extra memory card is awesome! I purchased this one for my mom, who wanted to try out the Mode App, and she's loving it so far.

    Even though it saids it's unlocked. Straight talk saids it's not compatible. So now I'm stuck with a $100 phone that I can't return bc I live 4 hours away from the closes Best Buy. Other than that it is a great phone. Stays charged up. Get payed for using it. But I don't use it. Go figure.

    I've already used the mode app before buying this phone and made about 40 dollars so far. which is soon to be 60 dollars its pretty similar to most phones i've used but i find it similar to my moto g pure phone i once had but sadly broke. And it helps you make extra mode points so it's not a total waste.
