    The price is reasonable for the quality, but being a Samsung, I think requesting system updates every week is excessive; sometimes it takes a long time to open an app. The audio isn't the best, but the image quality is good. I think you could invest in a better Samsung product.

    Easily the worst phone I've ever bought, lol. Lost my beautiful S22 and needed a new one. However, being a being student left me with no other choice than to get this lovely guy. It does the most basic things. However, it bugs out ALL THE TIME. I was warned about this when I purchased it. It's a true test of patience. If you have more than 5 apps going on at once ... Don't... Just don't. It serves it's purpose. I don't have Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube on it. The camera is lame. The battery life is good. The volume is good for Pandora. As a broke student, it'll do for now.
