Buyer beware

BadPhone . 1 month ago

The phone is heavy and too big to utilize with one hand. I've developed extreme pain in my right hand after using this phone for about a month. So thin that it's east to drop and even with a crackproof case on, it fell less than a foot and cracked all over the front and back of the phone. Doesn't hold good charge and refuses to take screenshots on app pages. Least favorite phone I've ever had. Probably going to go back to apple once I pay and arm and a leg to pay this crappy phone off.
