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.


5 years -> then battery swelled, and screen started popping off.

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.


I needed a budget phone in a pinch 3.

Shipping


Shipped super fast and was factory new in the box.


Very fast shipping and product as described, recommended.

Packaging/appearance


Arrived in perfect condition with original box intact.

I wanted a smaller phone compared to the giant tablet-like phones of today.
