So far so good. Plenty of speed and the battery has a decent lasting charge. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the difficulty finding an Otter Box cover for it. Luckily for me my old Motorola Ace cover fit perfectly.

Siege . 4 months
I would prefer to have the other deal but the sales rep didnt let me. I have another device to trade in and it says i can get a watch phone and tablet. Also couldnt port my number but it is available now. It has been really!
Functional but sluggish and not for road warriors who use their phone all the time. This is a low end slim device that just works. Not 5 star worthy.

Decent but not stellar . 4 months
The phone works but is sluggish at best. Be sure to find a case for the a23 UW and be specific about the UW model name as other manufacturers like Otterbox and others will sell you a case for $20 to 30 that covers the biometric scanner
