    for the price of this phone its worth it. it has almost all the futures of the expensive samsung but with a reasonable price. the only thing is that the night mode is a bit orange than what im used to but its also a plus because it doenst damage your eyes.

    Really good bang for buck phone. Runs fairly well with minor stuttering during normal use. (Android auto takes like 10 seconds to load and snapchat also takes a little while) but overall really enjoying it

    Overall a really solid phone that performed great for the price point. Would get a little laggy at times and the pictures the camera's produced were disappointing.

    Some people don't need a $1000 phone with a bunch of bloatware and capabilities they'll never use. A smart phone at this price with these capabilities is working out just fine. Most can't tell the difference between this and the Samsung S series.

    Generally quite pleased. Good screen resolution, and screen is large enough for extensive reading. 0n-off button is clunky, however.

    I selected this phone after having Galaxy S series cells, because I have liked Samsung products, and this phone was economical, and essentially provides me with all that I need from a cell phone. It is a great product.

    Excellent phone that does not break the bank. Actually went from an S10 to this. Nice big screen with a nice display. A little slower than the s10 but nothing too noticeable.

    My husband does not like cell phones with lots of bells and whistles. He just texts, surfs web and plays one online game. This phone does the job and the speed fits what he uses a phone for.
