I would recommend this to a friendUnderpowered and Slooooow.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This may be an ok phone as your kid's first phone (or grandma's last), but if you're trying to do anything serious, you'll be incredibly frustrated. It lags horribly. You can literally count the seconds between button press and reaction. Switching between apps is painful. Unless you're only working one app, this phone can't be used for gig work. I am returning mine and getting the A25+ instead. The only upside is that it is one of the few phones left that allow you to add an SD card.

Hopefully I can get a trade in refund
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I feel like I am back with a windows 98 PC. This thing is a piece of absolute junk. Bought just over a month ago and had to ctrl alt del reset because it froze completely. If you work gigs at all especially Flex your battery will not last the shift, last war a silly app game runs absolutely terribly. I cannot find fixes for this particular phone like stopping certain notifications(I know where notifications are), google opens tabs on the bar, and syncing to my car is even a nightmare for yt music. I'd say you get what you pay for but I guess I am old school where $200 is a decent amount of money for a phone. Thought this problem was only restricted to fast food and their bad products but Merica needs to step it up.
