What People Are Saying

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Battery management is poor Have had this phone for less than a year. Recently the battery ran down to 3%. The phone did not shut down before this happened and now the battery discharges in a day without any use. A "smart" phone isn't smart when it lets the battery run down to the point that it destroys the battery. Bad, bad, battery management. These people even make you sign up for a "sweep-stake" just to post a review. Can't wait to see what sort of damage that will inflict.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Cheap I bought this around august. It was great, for t a week. Right away, I noticed the batteries already draining. The phone itself gets very hot, and is very slow. The screen is very cheap, and cracks very easily. I cracked it with my thumb, pressing on the screen. If you do end up buying this phone, make sure you get the warranty. You will want it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Amazing everything but battery life I got this as a starter phone and the battery only lasts around half a day of on and off use, other than that I am completely satisfied with this phone. Also the screen is very durable I was chasing after my dog and it fell out of my back pocket face first, when I went back to retrieve my phone it wasn't scratched at all

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great starter smart phone!!! Got this phone for my wife first smartphone, I love using just as much as her, when finish my contract Hum!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Lack of Cases I received this phone after my LG G3 crashed after only 2 years. I am completely unimpressed and frustrated that there is on 1 or 2 cases available and neither are either I would buy. Why such a limit on phone cases for the LG phones. If you are not going to make cases for them why make the phones?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best inexpensive phone This phone does what I need. I don't need a fancy smart phone. The price was perfect. Just wjay I was looking for.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This phone does not support Wi-Fi calling. Ordered this phone from Verizon. Wi-Fi calling was the main reason. It is not a feature on this phone. What a waste of my time.
