    Terrible device

    This is simply put, the worst phone I have ever purchased. And that’s including my basic Nokia from 2002. I had an IPhone 15 pro max that I gifted to my brother and I wanted to try an android device while I wait for the new IPhone in September. I expected a certain drop in quality and performance considering how much this phone costs but nothing prepared me for the disappointment I have since experienced. This phone is severely underpowered with its 4gig ram being incapable of handling even the most mundane tasks. It is sluggish, hangs often, and difficult to type on due to the lag. It is incapable of handling android auto and consistently fails when connected to the vehicle’s display unit. It cannot even handle switching between apps and will often reset the app soon as you get back to it hence switching between apps is impossible. I was tempted to return it but the mandatory restocking fee that is tied to it makes it an expensive affair. I might as well suffer for the one more month and wait for Steve Jobs descendants to save me from my misery. Do not buy this phone unless it is simply for picking up calls.

    I needed a second phone to use strictly for work. This phone works great for my needs. I don't understand why there are complaints about the speed. The price is perfect for what you get so not sure what they are expecting but this phone is fine for a low cost option.

    The AT&T store sent me to Best Buy because they were out of theirs. The guy got me the phone right away, only thing was he didn't know how to transfer my data over. So back over to AT&T. But all in all a really good phone
