    I bought 2 of these phones. One for myself and my boyfriend. These were an upgrade from what we were using. Love the no contract Verizon. Phone is easy to use and has plenty of great features. Good size screen. Very happy with this phone. Was on clearance for around $60. We really enjoy these phones plus it has twice the memory of my old phone. It has 16 GB. Great purchase!

    I am not your typically phone savvy person. I do not require nor need a fancy phone therefore I bought this one. I have had the phone for only a few days now. Everything works great..... camera, apps, etc. I do play Pokémon Go and this app is working just fine. I have no major complaints besides the size of the phone but that is only because I prefer a smaller phone.

    I am really enjoying this phone. It was an upgrade from a outdated phone. Nice layout, easy to use. User friendly. Great price. Was in sale for $60 instead of $100. Very impressed so far. Boyfriend bought identical phone. We are pleased.

    I find the product good value for money. This was the best "bang for buck" phone I could buy. Large screen and descent memory. I find that cheaper phones run out of memory to install apps but this phone has been fine on this front.

    It's a good phone, I personally like it, always been an Android fan too so that helps out, it's nice, especially for the price, it's fast, but sometimes it can be little slow, but mine was because I was running out of memory, and from me switching to Verizon from att it's a lot better, so many extra features too it's really nice for the price

    I had another HTC and like this one better. It is sleeker, battery is better [though still not good with Google Maps], overall better phone with more power and storage. One thing I don't like is Best Buy doesn't carry ANY accessories, either cases or screen covers for this phone and I can't fine them on line as I was told I could. Heads up Best Buy!!!!

    Phone cost me about $100. Cons: speaker phone is too low, Too many "sub folders" for your contacts list. I wish I could call my most popular #s with only 1 button but you have to go thru a few sub folders to get there first. Same with the pictures... too many unnecessary "folders" and options. Pros: everything else and picture quality is good. You get what you pay for.

    I enjoy the HTC 530 even though the ram is a little low and it could have more. But a decent phone, though it could be a little cheaper.

    Not a Bad device whatsoever although there are a couple of laws such as no my files or no actual gallery that saves to the phone, everything is uploaded for you so it does use a lot of data.Being at does a lot of uploading unfortunately the battery does not last very long either

    Saving money, this is for my teenage daughter it's a good phone. The case we got with it doesn't really fit well. She loves it no complaints the cameras not as good as a normal eight pixel camera.
