    I bought it for my daughter, she liked the look of it, but after a few days of use it became clear that the processor was not powerful enough. It's constantly lagging and slow, meaning it works slowly. We had to return it because it was unusable.

    In my two precious trips, this is the worst retail store experience. There are about 10 salespeople/customer service lingering around, doing nothin; not offering help. And the customer service reps aren't knowledgeable. I was so lucky this last visit to talk to a representative that know her technology and your products. I should have got her name to praise he.

    The phone has about 1/2 dozen issues; i wouldnt recommend it. Best Buy did not give the trade in value as oromused fot my Apple i- phone. When I remarked that the $135 promised ( shoukd have been cl8se to $1K) wasnt on the receipt, I was told it would be " added last" When I looked at the receipt back home, the credit was never spplued. Best Buy will be tecueving a noyice from small claim court to sppear in front of a judge and I will bring asigned witness statement regarding the commitment for credit not probided ( no lawyers allowed. Last time I went to court ( snd won) the wzit was 2 hours It was intetesting, was ableto learn how

    I wish, i have not bought it. It's in navigation, very slow sensor when rotate screen, click multiple time on screen when use YouTube then it will work. Even it's new phone not battery timing isn't good. Slow while play game like pubg. The only thing I like is look and style of phone.

    It's more than 15 days. I was offered to buy this product using best buy credit card and I agreed and bought. But still ai don't have any information about the card, payment, statement, no email etc. I am afraid I miss the credit card payment because I can not track it. Eventually it will affect my credit history and credit score. Poorly managed offering of credit card.

    Pretty good phone. I previously had an A56 and wanted to upgrade. It has frozen up on me a couple of times when I had more than one app opened. I'm not sure what the issue is but the phone went black and took forever to get it to work again. I had to take the sim card out and force a restart. I wish I'd stuck with what I had because this phone was expensive and isn't much different than what I had.
