    Not bad for a affordable phone. Build quality is good. Samsung's modified Android version though is more broken than some competitors.

    Its a slow phone… but its also sub $200! The screen is excellent for the value, and works perfect whether you are on a budget, or for another use (backup phone, kids phone, media controller, etc.)

    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.
