Customers are saying

Many appreciate its water resistance and the range of features it offers. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the pre-installed apps and the charging port cover. The phone's positive aspects appear to outweigh the negative for most customers.

    The phone is great. The screen protector sucks tho. Dropped the phone on the ground, and now there's a nick on the screen. Didn't do it's job.
