    I purchased this phone for my son he needed a phone and couldn't afford to purchase a new one. The phone looks brand new and works great. I am glad I made this purchase.

    HORRIBLE, SCREEN STOP WORKING

    Okay, this may seem like a good price, and I once thought too, but it is not. I brought this two months ago alongside a screen protector and a case. I protected it and everything, and guess what, it still broke due to some bad hardware outside my control. I try removing the screen protector, doing a factory reset, and simply cleaning it with the right tool, but none of that works. Turns out, this phone just broke on it own. And now since Bestbuy don't cover Samsung Galaxy phone, I am out of luck. Just a piece of warning, DO NOT BUY THIS.

    I am not a techy person but like to have gadgets that do what I need, don't cost a fortune and are fairly easy to use. This phone fits the requirements for me. I am thrilled with my new purchase and very happy so far with my choice.

    This phone was horrible! First the battery only lasted about 5 hours, then the front facing camera stopped working, finally the phone began to crash multiple multiple times a day. This was all within 48 hours of receiving the phone. I'm definitely returning this ASAP.

    Very nice phone. A good replacement for the old LG phone my mom had. She likes that it scrolls and texts fast. Fairly easy to figure out. I like the camera on this phone.....maybe my next phone will be a Samsung too.

    If you plan to buy this cell phone, think about it very well because at least personally I bought one to give it away and the person is giving a lot of problems.
