My phone review
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: MyA17review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is extremely slow for a 5g phone and music cuts out when I try to get on other apps. The Bluetooth is terrible whenever it's connecting, music cuts in and out for about 45 seconds before finally playing right. The old saying you get what you pay for is true with this phone.

Bad experience
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Pattecakes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't like this phone at all. I received it free when I had to switch to Tmobile. If I chose the phone to be given to me it wouldn't be this. It always has to be restarted if its running slow. The battery doesn't last long. But the picture quality is good.
