Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My phone is constantly slowing down and I have to restart it in order for it to work again. The screen freezes and the only way to fix that is to restart the phone, which I can't do because the screen is frozen. I then have to wait for the phone to die in order to fix the screen issue. This happens very often.

Get another Samsung phone.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not the best choice if you do a lot on your phone. It is not very fast. And the camera leaves a lot to be desired.

no more samsung products
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very slow phone. My old phone updates and charges in literally half the time. I do the updating on wifi and depending on how much needs updated you will need to find something to do it's going to be a while, no phone should need 20 to 30 minutes to update. And to charge even from just 50% you'll need about an hour and a half.

A total nightmare.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model is awfully slow even compared to most phones older than this. It seems like Samsung is putting their slowest processors on these lower end phones combined with a newer operating system that it's just too much for these type of phones to handle.... avoid this phone at all cost.

Too heavy and large
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this phone for about 4mo, coming from an iPhone 7. I didn't realize how heavy and clunky it was as I bought online and then picked up in the store. I don 't like not being able to change the size of my desktop icons. Have had difficulty trying to locate help for desktop issues. Photos are not as good of a quality as I expected fro as many cameras that it has. I decided that I am going to look for a smaller phone that doesn't weigh my purse down and that can actually fit in my pants pocket.
