Highlights
Quality
Great size, really good battery life, excellent camera (from my basic phone needs perspective).
The camera resolution is very sharp and clear and the phone has tremendous internal memory capacity.

Really didn’t want to spend $300ish but i wanted an unlocked phone.
I’m cheep and i’m not spending $1000 on a phone.
