    I love this phone. I recently switched from a HTC because I had no storage space. This one has plenty for all of my apps and it is much faster. The camera is much better too. I am completely satisfied.

    My daughter bought this to replace a broken LG phone. It's a good basic phone and it works fine for her, but the picture quality on the camera isn't as good as what she had with the LG. Otherwise, no complaints.

    This phone has a beautiful screen. It has a powerful processor, and lots of RAM so there is very little lag when you ask it to do something. Samsung make great phones.

    having issues with voice to text and notifications

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I don't get all text notifications all the time, but I certainly get every other notification all night long, keeping me awake. Can't find a way to pick and choose which notifications to keep silent at night, yet keep others on. Also, (and this is a major issue for me) my voice-to-text repeats itself, even changing the words down the line. I can't find a solution to this. Samsung seems to overly complicate things that should be self-explanatory, requiring a lot of headaches. Like, my text window has to be completely closed to get a notification chime when I get a new text. Returning this, and going back to LG.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This was my first smart phone (had a dumb cell), I thought the price was good and I got a monthly plan for a reasonable rate. The sales person was WONDERFUL, He took care of activation, changed my Virgin Mobile account to the new phone, transferred my contacts and gave me a tutorial.

    Does everything a smart phone should. This is my second phone because I dropped it & the screen is now messed up., the phone is kinda slow if your doing two things at a time and the keyboard is not smart at all.

    This was an emergency replacement when out of town on vacation. The Best Buy sales associate was very helpful and recommended this phone; and he was able to get a price match on it too! The phone works well and has additional RAM so it is faster than my old HTC. It’s a bit larger & the camera is not that great but I’m still kind of glad that my old phone got dropped in the commode! I would recommend this phone if you are not looking for anything fancy.
