    Overall solid phone for the price. Suggest a soft phone cover, as the screen cracks pretty easy. Doesn't seem as durable when compared to higher end models.

    This phone stinks. I had a cheap motorola that started to have some battery issues so I got this, and I hate it because it is so slow and unresponsive.I don't even know how they can justify selling it. And i'm just talking about navigating around the phone , minimizing, maximizing, swiping , it sucks.

    Drop down box appears when I'm in another app and the phone is ringing it gives me the option to answer it but the person on the other end of the line cannot hear me and we often get disconnected. Does not tell me when I have a new text msg. Very unhappy with this purchase. I want to get another phone. I sure hope I can return this and get a different one.
