[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the phone is pretty good on features except it slows down performance or freezes without being used. Also the camera quality isn't impressive. The image begins to look grainy when I try to zoom in, even changing setting different to see what works..but no luck image quality gets poor when zoomed in
