    My phone is constantly slowing down and I have to restart it in order for it to work again. The screen freezes and the only way to fix that is to restart the phone, which I can't do because the screen is frozen. I then have to wait for the phone to die in order to fix the screen issue. This happens very often.

    Overall solid phone for the price. Suggest a soft phone cover, as the screen cracks pretty easy. Doesn't seem as durable when compared to higher end models.

    laggy and irritating to use if you prefer smoothness. when you try to input opt from the messaging app the browser refreshes and you have to request a new opt every time, so either you have to use the notification or do the process in a different system
