    Overall good phone. Phone build quality is comparable to iPhones. Battery life lasts all day with moderate use; have been receiving 4+ hours of screen time. Camera works great. Only complaint would be the finger scanner to unlock phone.

    It is a pretty good phone for the price you pay. So far it is good. It is fast as I expected. Camera clarity is great. Only drawback I would say is the battery life. I am not a heavy user of the phone except checking emails, facebook, whatsapp, camera; and I can easily get through the day, perhaps 36 hours before next charge. But if you are gonna use it for games, video editing etc, prepare to charge the phone before the end of the day

    This Samsung Alpha is a very slim and pretty phone. Light weight in the hand, fits well in small hands like mine. Has similar features like most Samsung phones. Really good quality pictures. When I ordered this, I guess I didn't realize it was an AT&T phone exclusively and I don't use AT&T, so there are a lot of apps unused. Plus it did not come with a user guide, which I need, and that has made getting familiar with all the features difficult. I was told most new phones are being sold that way now so.... Overall I really like this phone. I got the gold one. At first I wasn't sure I would like it but now I'm glad I did. Kinda hate to cover it up with a phone protector.

    Ordered G850M, received G850A, an open-boxed item. Other than that very satisfied with the purchase.

    This is a great toaster oven for the price. I give it 4 stars, only because I wish it was bigger. (Although as big as most toasters go, already). The convection feature is great, too.

    Not a G850H or M

    So I'm not going to write a review about the phones operation you can read plenty of those on-line, What i will do is alert you to the fact that it takes a nano sim card. And that my phone is a G850A, that's an AT&T branded phone. Not an international model. Is it really unlocked? Don't knonw yet. Is it new? Yes I think it is. As I'm on AT&T and dont plan on chaging any time soon a ATT phone is ok with me (though I really don't like the att apps that I can't uninstall).
