    -Exactly what I needed. -$170 for a nice phone with Samsung security support for six years! -Great screen. -Thin and light. -Good battery life. I'm not a phone centered person: I use it for phone calls, text, convenience features (ie: alarms and timers), and useful internet when a PC isn't an option so my usage probably isn't 'typical'. I keep phones for five years, but they are usually only supported for one or two years so having six years of security updates put it ahead of every other phone under $300 for me. I would recommend it.

    Upgraded my son's phone from a Motorola phone to this. Faster run time and better graphics. More storage and better picture quality. A little larger phone size but not too big of a deal.

    At times this device is frustratingly slow. It lags with more than 3 apps running at once. I would have preferred to pay $250 and have this device with 8GB RAM, I might even have settled for 6GB RAM? Better off with a Motorola G which does not lag as much as this phone. I am certain that the Samsung One UI skin is just a little too much for an Exynos 1330 with 4GB RAM. I gave it three stars instead of two because the camera is not too shabby and the screen is fantastic.

    For its price point, definitely a five star product. Use it mostly as "just a phone" and texting so very little app opening and closing, etc. Works fine for the purpose we need. Photos are clear and also at the top of this price point. Six years of updates is what led us to purchase. Well done all in all
