The camera is the best feature on this device. The other comments are not favorable. Very slow to load, battery drains fast and some features on the phone I have yet to find. Way too complex
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the phone. This is the second time I've bought one. There are a few issues though. Some of my apps fail to open. I get an error saying that they have failed and they will not open no matter how many times I try to restart it. I have checked for updates to see if that is the problem, but it is not. The apps I'm speaking of have never opened since I've downloaded them. Also, it does not pick up wifi very well. I use wifi in my home for all of my other devices, but the phone only picks it up in certain parts of the apartment and only has limited connection. I do not have this problem with my other devices. What I love about the phone is the camera. It takes excellent pictures. The clarity and vividness of the screen display is also very nice. I just wish the network adapter worked better.
Great idea and I always wanted one but the reality of it is that you don't really want your camera on your phone! But I do really like it, it wasnT that expensive (cheaper than a smart camera) and I have other phones so I will keep it. It just has too slow of a possesses to run on the LTE network.
Just bought my second after the first one got lost in Peru

Honestly, I'm in WiFi a lot, I have an Android tablet, I don't need much phone...
But this phone has a LOT of camera, if that's what you're looking for. I've been delighted with it for that.
The optical zoom makes it for me. The things like having a place to attach a wrist strap were bonuses.
I wish the battery life were longer, but being able to buy extras and replace as needed throughout the day is good.
It's outdated enough at this point that some apps can be a little slow.
For the going rate, though, it's an excellent specialized product if two gadgets in one with more camera than average smart phones is what you're looking for. Attaching a photo of a dragon fly taken with it from several yards away as a sample of what it can do.
