||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this phone as my s23ultra died and needed a cheap phone to tide me over until the s26ultra is released. However , while I understand it is a cheap phone , the fact that it is almost unusable as a phone is unacceptable. Cannot run simple apps and expect to even be able to answer a call. While usimg google maps, an incoming call made it to my watch but the phone didnt register the incoming call for two minutes after i answered it on the watch and already hung up as an incoming call. Unable to run 2 apps at all where apps needing 2 factor codes from texts or email fully closes the app needing the code which starts a loop . Also takes about 40 seconds between each attempt to take a picture and half the time the camera fail with error.

no more samsung products
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very slow phone. My old phone updates and charges in literally half the time. I do the updating on wifi and depending on how much needs updated you will need to find something to do it's going to be a while, no phone should need 20 to 30 minutes to update. And to charge even from just 50% you'll need about an hour and a half.
