    I've had it for about 2 weeks now, and I'm really not pleased with this thing. Screen is not bright enough to see outside, even when it's cloudy. The adaptive brighness doesnt seem to work either. It's always too bright in a dark room and has to beturned down manually. It's slow compared to my old phone. There is always a delay between tapping on something and the phone reacting. Camera is also slow to react too. Worst of all the screen cracked for no apparent reason. No impact, not dropped, just in my pocket, in a good case, pulled it out and the screen is cracked! 4 years with my old phone and never cracked. This one lasted 2 weeks. Phone looks nice, and battery life seems excellent, but thats about all the positive. Don't be fooled by all these positive reviews. Not worth the cost even as cheap as it is.

    After using an iPhone for many years, I feel lost and disappointed with my Galaxy. Perhaps I haven't learned the features yet, but the podcast player is not enjoyable. The sound quality is not as rich.
