    I am one of those people who is not into paying exhorbitant amounts of money for a phone. All of my previous phones have been my siblings hand me downs and this is the first I ever purchase for myself. Me being me, I researched everywhere for what kind of phone will serve my purposes. Mostly I was aming for excellent camera that could photograph everything I have to show my coworkers later and also had a great reception for making and receiving calls in all seven floors of the hospital.

    This phone delivered.

    Not only am I super please with its performance at almost everything but I am amazed that one such phone can cost this price. And it has a high end finish and the gold color make it look amazing. Compared to my sister's iPhone 6 I'd say it almost does everything she can do with hers. It's light and sophisticated and has a quick response at everything I've done so far. Even better than hers is that this one holds two SIMs, which works perfectly with my life as I love to travel. So far I've tested two of my international SIMs and they both worked great.

    It's also my first android phone ever, as I'd previously only used the iOS softwares I was expecting a nightmare. It wasn't. It wasn't also exactly breezy but the phone is not to blame for that. Also I was pleasently surprised with the amount of apps you can get.

    The only thing though is, get an SD card. No matter how little you think you need it, you're going to need it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not for heavy users but good phone for the price
    Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I have this phone for over a year now. So far I have a few complaints. My only problem is that most apps cannot be transfered to micro sd. With 8G internal memory, I can install very limited apps. I cannot uninstall apps that I dont really need like microsoft apps (powerpoint, one note etc) , some google apps that were pre-installed when I got the phone. The camera quality is nice, in fact I use it to take photos of items I want to sell online like handmade jewelry. And it takes some good quality photos. It is also fairly fast. I dont remember it freezing. For the price that I have paid for, cant really ask for more.

    For the price I don't think you can beat this phone. I use a S7 and got this for my daughter. The battery life in this phone blows away my S7's. The camera is just mediocre, but plenty good enough for a kid. Speed is good enough to smoothly run any game she plays. The display is great considering the price.

    the phone is very responsive and easy to control multiple functions. texting can be a little extra sensitive with the keys but it has all of the main options/apps without much excess or promotional annoyances. the camera is good quality also, just change a few settings in the menu for high quality on the rear camera with a decent memory card.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2016

    As a dual SIM Android Phone, its awesome, but once you load it up with Apps the 8Gb Memory disappears very quickly - even with the movement of most Apps to SD. Also Bluetooth fails me continually, but runs better if I keep over 1.5Gb of space in Storage. If you don't use Bluetooth functionality (daily) its a brilliant phone. All this being said I may just have a defective phone. The Amazon supplier is great, quick delivery.

    Product was delivered on time in great condition. Was for overseas markets, with a 220 Volt recharger, but configured for USB recharging also, so no problem. Worked as advertised, unlocked, and I installed an international sim card that is compatible with US carriers. No problems or issues to date.
