Nice Phone

Bird . 1 year ago

The phone was just what I saw on line and suits my needs. I prefer android to iPhones. Very easy to use. Shannon was excellent. She answered all the questions I had and handled all the technical issues. She took her time to ensure everything was as it should be. Very professional, courteous and friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes great pics, fast to respond. Only negative is the on/off/blackout screen button is too close to volume control button, so I'm constantly blacking out my screen

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been using a A13 4G and all I do is play online fps games and I must say... the SoC and dpi are on point. You might still want to use a small fan for the ti.es when you benchmark play. 9.8/10!!
