    I’m 74. This is my first cell phone. My condolences, apologies and sincere thanks to the store personnel who, through agonizing hours, finally launched me. I returned to the store each day for five days and they were patient beyond belief. What I like about the phone: It is unlocked and has a battery. The power on/power off button is on the back. Contrast can be adjusted to sharp. Font is available in huge and bold. What I didn’t like about the phone: The calendar and the ringtones. However, the store personnel helped me get a calendar and a ringtone that I like. This is right starter phone for me, at the right price, and it may be all I will ever need.

    For seniors who want to upgrade from your flip phone, this LG phone is a good choice. It's easy to use, light weight, offers large size text options, bright screen and volume options with your speaker. It's also cheaper than I-phones and offers all the apps that you would need for daily communications and other activities. It was really easy to set up and transfer my contact list and photos from my old android phone to this phone. I also play Word with friends without any problems. There are apps available for other games as well.

    The LG K8 2018 is a superb cell phone, excellent in about every quality I can think of. I purposely purchased the unlocked model in order to continue with my old time friend and carrier TRAC FONE. TRAC FONE sent me the new SIM chip to make this new phone functional and received in 2 days. Again, an excellent product. Best Buy personnel made the exchange of info from old phone to new a seamless event and rapid. Thank you, Best Buy!

    I bought the phone as a test unit to convince my wife that our local wireless telephone company had fringe area coverage equivalent to the national "V" company she used. I handed it, and my wife's CDMA iPhone, to our granddaughter one day when they were leaving on a high school field trip halfway across the state. (Rural Wyoming has lots of holes in cell coverage.) Her assignment was to watch both phones and report to Grandmother on differences in coverage. She did so. But she fell in love with the little phone and never gave it back. Her Grandmother said: "all of the other members of my speech and debate squad have cell phones, she needs one, too." Then Grandmother purchased a new (GSM) iPhone 11 for herself, and changed companies. So, this little, inexpensive, LG phone cost me a lot of money. Both women are very happy.

    I bought each of my girls this lg k8 2018 phone to use with tlng.com. easy setup and SIM worked. Just the right size for them. Not the fastest but for the price, no issues and fully functional. The battery could last longer but it is removeable, so spare could be bought if needed. My girls use a portable power bank. Good value for the price point!

    As a happy iPhone user, I actually only purchased this phone for the sole purpose of installing and playing ONE game (over Wi-Fi) which is only available through the Google Play Store. As for the exterior, it is very lightweight, slick/slim design. Since I only launch the one game app on the phone, I cannot really speak to the phone's overall performance except that I have not had a single issue with lagging, crashing, etc. Wi-Fi connectivity and signal are always excellent. The picture quality is crisp, bright, and clear. (Not much different from any other smart phone, really.) The sound quality is kinda cheap/hollow-sounding, but still sufficient enough. Camera is bleh, and I don't use it. Battery life is VERY short, which is a minus. Overall, I am very happy with this phone for my limited purpose of playing 1 single game over Wi-Fi. I am deducting a star due to the short battery life and also my opinion that the original list price for the phone seems awfully high. In fact, if you do decide to buy this, I would do some price fluctuation research and ensure that you buy it when it is very much ON SALE.

    I bought this cell phone for an elder relative who lives abroad taking into consideration the unlocked feature. It is one of the best looking budget Android mobile phones on the market, the camera is decent and performance too. Do not try to emulate the high-end phones but offers the best Android experience possible.

    This is a great unlocked phone for $130. It does everything a normal smart phone does. I really don't understand why people want to spend hundreds of dollars for those over priced phones.

    this phone is easy to use and the battery lasts a long time before recharging. it is very clear for reading and the camera works well - pictures are clear and easy to store in memory. it is comfortable in the hand and is not slippery even without a case. it is nice and slim so easily fits in the pocket. there were good color choices available and the set up at the store didn't take too long so they were able to quickly load all the data from my other phone. the screen is pleasantly touch sensitive and doesn't need to be pushed hard to access the various apps. Screen is well lit and phone doesn't overheat even when used for a long period of time

    There are a few things that seem a bit odd but overall it's fine. Very odd that no case was available so I had to order one from Amazon. Perhaps they should order those from Amazon and mark them up.

    I bought this phone because it was inexpensive, unlocked and included the right protocols for both T-Mobile and Digicel Barbados. Initially I planned to use it as a simple cell phone. Then I discovered how many apps it included. Frankly I now ask my self why I would ever buy an $800 phone again.

    I bought this phone when I broke my other one. I'm still getting used to how much smaller it is, but haven't had any problems with it. It does take great pics.
