    I really like the phone a lot. The camera takes great photos, it's very user friendly and the graphics are great. My only disappointment is with the volume. Even when I have the volume turned up all the way I have a hard time hearing the person on the other end and even struggle to hear the ring. Something seems like there might be something wrong with it. Any advice?

    Phone is very good. The size is perfect. Camera takes great pictures. The only thing i don't like is the camera is slow. When i press the Button to take a picture it takes sometimes 2 seconds to respond causing me to miss the picture i wanted. TrYing to figure it out but not much luck. I looked on troubleshooting sites and did what was recommended but silk no luck.

    Online experience with best buy wasn't satisfactory. I do realize i got this as a thanksgiving sale and that one can expect latency. However it took me 30-40 minutes to get the order in but alas i put in my previous address on the order. I wanted to correct the shipping address but best buy online representative could not correct it and had to cancel the order and the re-order it again but during re-order he was unable to get the deal i had ordered. So to cut the story short i spent 3-4 hours on something that should have taken me 15 minutes.

    Had a few issues with the software within the first week. Had to backup and restore and lost all my contacts, pictures, ect. That it was supposed to back up. Once I did that the phone has worked flawlessly. Not happy about losing all of my stuff and don't know why the backup didn't work properly. Possibly it had to do with AT&T logging in to my phone. Software is quite different from my S4 Active but I'm used to it now and I really like it. Camera works great. Screen look great too. Not very "rugged" but has a lot of great features.

    Although this phone takes good pictures there are several features on the camera that are not user friendly, The phone itself is very nice overall and easy to use. However my purchase experience at best buy was horrible and I do not know if I will return for my next phone purchase. I would recommend the phone but I cant recommend best buy for this purchase.

    My husband bought this switching from an iPhone to this Android. At first it didn't go very smoothly, going from an Apple to an Android. But its been about 4 months and he's getting better. I mean he had the basics, but he is still learning the features and the layout. He really likes it, but it was hard to make the transition. He's 50 yrs. The kids on the other hand have no problem with it!!
