    Too heavy and large

    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.

    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.
