    The phone feels nice, the sound is good but the camera and other internal processing is horrible. I used to have an older Samsung Galaxy S10e but when i changed providers my phone didn't work with the new service for some reason. I chose this phone based on price, availability and expandable storage. The fast charging is nice, the battery life is good. The quality of the photos is good, however, when going from standard to zoom the camera lags. It also lags in between photos...so if you are hitting the "shutter" button at an interval of a few seconds in between photos it will lock and say "processing"...sometimes the whole phone will freeze completely while taking photos and then close all open apps.

    Worse than 4 year old Motorola

    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.

    Got this for my son's first phone to go back to school. It's pretty impressive and I'm quite happy with it. He likes the size and how fast the system works for him. He just uses it for text/calls to/from school and of course his Minecraft youtube videos. I would recommend this phone!
