    Due it's lack of memory (4 GB) this phone freezes frequently and needs to be rebooted. Not being a gamer I thought 4 gigs would be enough for phone use and texting. The MAJOR problem for me the phone locks out using your wifi for a hotspot and allows you to use your data only. I find this totally unacceptable as my previous Samsung phone allowed wifi use. My next phone will not be a Samsung I should be allowed to chose how I use my hotspot.
