Posted by: Morning2026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone should only be used for making calls. It always needs updates, never enough storage even deleted half of my photos, emails and music. When I play my games, the phone will end the game. I've been on phone calls, and the other people can't hear me. Or the phone will say call dropped.
