    I hate changing phones- still trying to find the same features I had on my previous model. It does do what was intended. A bit of an issue transferring over.

    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.

    Poor service and expertise

    I asked the cell phone expert for a cell phone which would work with a 2026 Honda CR V and bought their recommendation. The Honda dealership could not make cell phone work. When I returned it to buy the A36 I was charged a return fee. When I was sold the A36 I had to return to buy a charger which was not included. So disappointed with the lack of expertise and ownership of their recommendations.
