On second thought...
Soooo I initially bought this after watching a lot of reviews on YouTube. The phone initially beats the pants off of other similar androids but this is my 3rd one.. and what my biggest complaint is that it seems after sustained use the processor starts to flake out. I mean BAD. I probably use mine just as much (if not more) than most so this is a legit critical review... I travel during the day for work and listen to Spotify, BBC, Pandora and a ton of Podcasts while I drive.
The 1st phone lasted about a year & a half before I couldn't take it anymore and smacked it on the counter. The thing started dragging really bad and lagging with every action. Very frustrating. Still not nearly as bad as my earlier Samsungs but noticed a marked difference.
The 2nd one despite doing regular optimize and cleaning with reputable & researched apps it did the same. I wound up doing a factory reset which helped for a while but eventually it started to flake again. Phone rebooting, stalling etc. Very bothersome. I tabled this phone and bought a third one.
See the pattern here??? I still have the 2nd and 3rd ( both in working order) but I'm just not happy. All the zippiness and quick response seems to die off on these rather quick. Maybe I expect too much from a cheap phone?? Probably, especially because I use them SOOOOO MUCH!
If I were you? Yes, buy it! But dont expect the world from a $129.00 phone. I would save yourself the trouble and just anticipate swapping it in 12 months with another. For what it's worth my friends with $500 phones go through the same thing.
Verified purchase:Yes
