My truth about it

MainRene · 12 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prefer my S22 ultra, but since my june update its been glitching and crashing. So got this as a temporary replacement. Not bad for a basic phone. Memory capacity not bad. Just hate the freezing when switching through multiple apps.
