I bought this Lumia 435, just for spare or play around. My main phone is S6 edge. Be honest, I really like my Lumia 435 especially after updating to Windows 10. Everything is worked fine, much better than I think I should get from the phone because I paid for this phone only less than $30 during Xmas time. What I like the most is the offline maps which I downloaded USA & Canada. It is much better than my real GPS. I am living at the new development area, down south Charlotte, near Lake Wylie. This map shows the details and all the new streets in my area which new GPS map does not show yet. I had saved the whole USA map in SD card and used it when travelling to California & Nevada lately with no problem at all. I uses T-Mobile sim card with $3/mo plan. Another thing I like is Excel and powerpoint which I can do more less like my main computer. So impressive especially with this price. Thank you

I paid $50 for this phone in May 2015, and there is no better Windows Phone on the market under $100. After setting it up and letting it charge overnight, the battery is still going into its 3rd day. Awesome battery life. The screen is OK, it looks kind of washed out in sunlight, but for the price what do you expect?
5 STARS!

I bought this phone for my mom (senior age) to replace her broken iphone 5. The reception and sound quality of the phone was instantly better(T-mobile). I thought the battery life was even better but that's not a real test as it's compared to an older iphone 5. I thought the volume control is easier to use compared to an iphone as if you put the volume down all the way down it switches to vibrate automatically. It's hard to gauge if the windows software was easier to use compare to IOS as my mom had to adjust to both software when she started using these. I think it's a good basic phone for seniors with excellent call quality.

We bought this for our son and liked it enough to buy one for ourselves. Can't complain for $50. Specifically, I like the Windows OS, the speed, and how it feels in the hand. You're not getting a good camera, or a good screen, but if you just make calls, text, and update social media, then I recommend this. You won't feel like you're overspending or getting ripped off at this price point. Also, the sound quality is incredible. I can hear calls so well. And Cortana is fast enough to do what I need it to.

I'm a heavy iPhone user and purchased this phone for a family member. Here are a few things I love about this phone:
1. Price - just can't beat the price
2. Live tiles - you don't have to open the app to see the weather, news headlines etc.
3. Adjustable tile sizes
Some cons:
1. Even though it has WiFi-calling feature, for prepaid/no-contract accounts, minutes are still deducted. Wifi-calling is only to improve your signal strength if you are in an area with spotty service.
2. Limited app alert settings. Compared to the iPhone, the app alert settings are not fine tuned. Also, certain (not so well written) apps' alerts cannot be turned off, even the phone has the feature to turn alerts off, it won't show up on that page to let you turn it off.
3. Limited app choices, but I think the number will grow over time.
Still an awesome phone for the price.

My grandson lost his iphone. I replaced it with this inexpensive one. He has the same plan, can do on it what he could with the iphone, and it won't be a big deal if he loses, or breaks it. The price is great at $39.99!

This phone is not a flagship device, let's be clear. But it is amazing all you get for the price. it is responsive enough to be enjoyable, and I even upgraded it to Windows Phone 10 which I LOVE! Can you imagine for such a price having Outlook on your phone, Cortana (personal assistant), expandable memory, integration to your computer, smartwatch, etc. Just unbelievable what we get these days with just a few dollars.

So far the phone has held up in my 10 year olds hands. Easy to set up and lots of helpful videos for him to watch to learn how to use it. Thicker phone which is nice for a kids hands. Overall good buy

My kids are used to Microsoft Windows so the phone was an easy transition. Not going to lose it if the phone breaks or they lose it.
