    It is a good phone but not a great phone. It was a bit of a learning curve to acclimate to Android from Apple OS. Android is much better than my last excursion into the world of Android (2010) The phone was easy to activate no hassle or hoop jumping. Works great, photos are good but seem a bit fuzzy at max zoom. Closer photos are very good for phone price point. I like the phone display it seems clear and much larger than my old IPhone 8. Would I buy it again? Yes ,it is a good phone for the money. Works fine and does a adequate but not exceptional job. It costs substantial less than top tier phones so it’s a good value. The battery is excellent lasts ,with moderate use , a couple of days. The battery will last a day using it like a teenager searching for validation from social media fake friends.

    I had a time looking for a new phone for my boyfriend. Nick the salesman helped me out to get exactly what i was looking for. My boyfriend absolutely loves this phone. Its easy for him to use as he has arthritis and the fingers dont move easy.

    I bought this phone for my mother so she could finally see the grandkids when they video chat with her. The resolution is great and the sound and picture quality is great for the price. She only likes to take minimal pictures so the 128GB memory works fine for her use. Battery power is good especially because my mother often forgets to charge the phone daily. I have the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and believe this is a good Phone for someone that does not need that much power or cost.

    So far hubby loves this phone. It has enough space for his pictures it's tough enough for his tours on Facebook other videos music much more than just a phone. I can honestly say it's easy to use as he hasn't come to me yet to figure it out LOL

    This phone has almost everything I want to have in a phone. In the field I'm in, I like taking pictures & play videos. This phone has enough memory for me to use and great processor for the HD graphics. On a personal level, I like the phones that have larger screens. If this phone had another inch or 2 in width or length, I would name this phone perfect for me. That's my only wish is that I would've liked this phone to have a larger screen. But the functionality & handling of its controls are great.

    Still Learning Basic Procedures

    This was my first smartphone--upgrading from a simple flip phone. The capabilities naturally are like night and day. The instruction manual is on-line and it is helpful in some aspects but sometimes does not explain simple procedures. Still learning by doing and going on-line and buying a instruction book. Perhaps Best Buy could provide hands-on instructions for simple things like how to send a message/text; load photos to a PC, even adjust some of the settings. But the price was right.

    I love this phone! I thought I wanted the newest most expensive phone, but this model is easy to use easy to set up and reasonably priced. The picture quality is excellent! This was unlocked, so I was able to bring it to my Carrier easily. This phone responds quickly to the touch, and I can also use voice commands. I love it!I love this phone!
