Many also appreciate its affordable price and user-friendly interface. While some users wish for wireless charging and water resistance, the positive feedback on other features outweighs these drawbacks.

    Had it for 6months now and it is randomly turning off and on!? But the battery life is average as it can last all day on a charge with minimal use, but if doing a lot of internet work from 8-3pm is OK but by then its battery life is-15%

    I bought this phone as a replacement When mine broke and I thought I could save some money and get an inexpensive phone but I'm definitely paying for it. It is pretty slow and lags between screens. Poor at multi tasking. Both the face and fingerprint unlock don't work well. The USB C connector is often very tight and it feels like you're forcing it. And finally the talk to text is terrible at picking up what you want to say.

    Average at best if you do not want to shell out the big $$$ for a phone. Works ok, set up is different from samsung S8.

    Restarts Randomly a LOT

    Had this for 4 months. Randomly restarts all the time, almost daily. In the middle of music, suddenly reboots. In the middle of browsing, reboots. No damage, no water, nada. Fingerprint scanner is garbage. It's built into the screen and you can only add 3 fingers. It's very unreliable, I often have to use the pattern to unlock. Samsung could face liability in the case of an emergency and being unable to make a call if you can't unlock your phone. Learn from my mistake, don't buy this phone.

    Disappointed in Samsung

    This is probably the worse Samsung phone I have had thus far. I have been a Samsung Galaxy user for years, probably since I got a smart phones. I've had several different Samsung Galaxies. Probably one of the most poorly made phones I have ever had. Did not even have it a week and the screen chipped and cracked because its so thin and brittle. Had a case on it, picked it up off the counter and its cracked. Sad thing is that Samsung's authorized dealers don't even carry the stuff to fix it. Called Samsung and had to prove to them that their AD don't have the materials from the to fix it.The AD said all the A series have thin and screens and break easily and often. I guess you get what you pay for. The best Samsung can do it charge me over half of what I paid for this cheap crummy phone and sent it back for 9 to 11 business days to Samsung to fix it. Definitely may be my last Samsung phone. Just be aware you get what you pay for..JUNK!

    Seriously don't buy this phone. It's slow, buggy. Takes about 5 tries to open, laggy response, crashes often. Garbage. Camera is OK though. I'm taking it back and eating the 50 dollar restock fee.

    Speaker phone doesn't work. On my 2nd one, same problem. Screen goes dark when making a phone call (10-12 seconds into call). Have to press side bar repeatedly. Very annoying. Won't buy any more Samsung cell phones.
