If I have anything that I don't like about it, it's the fact that the battery is not removable for this phone, so if something happens to the battery, it can't simply be replaced without surrendering the entire phone for repairs. Also, I don't like the removable tray that you have to open by sticking a pin tool included in the phone box, to insert your SIM card and MicroSD card into. If I would lose that tool, I'd have no other way of opening that tray. But other than that gripe, I do like that it's not so easy for someone to steal the SIM card and memory card out of the phone, so it's basically a minor gripe. Since this phone is the most expensive one I've ever bought, I also bought accessories for it to take the best care of it that I can! This phone is worth the price if you want a new phone and don't want to pay a lot of money for a phone that you could drop and crack the glass screen. I did that to my $40.00 ZTE Maven 3 phone, so now I have all I need to protect this new phone! And I received this new phone 7 days before the estimated delivery date, so I was able to start using it right away! Aside from the two minor gripes about the tray and the non-removeable battery, I already love this new smartphone! It may be my best purchase yet!
So I was glad to see I could get one exactly like it. It doesn't operate a whole lot better than my dying friend. I updated the software but it struggles to hold an app open. Has the same issues of not responding. So whatever. At least it holds a charge and usually has no problem with my favorite site.. AMAZON!!😁
If you don't do much on your phone other than make calls, take a few pictures and such this is a great phone for you. but if you are used to listening to a book, play a game and other things on your phone at the same time then this is not for you.
