5.0 out of 5 stars : Good Quality Bang For The Buck

Firstly- no one ever says in reviews if a phone works with Spectrum in the U.S.A. This works flawlessly with Spectrum mobile service and is $25 less than what they sell same phone for. Easy connection to Spectrum mobile netwrk.

Am pleased with smooth performance, very bright crystal clear screen. For anyone who wants a solid consistent durable smooth operating phone without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars this is the best under $200 phone on the market. More than sufficient.

A good quality feel and build. Doesn’t at all feel, resemble, or operate like a cheap budget phone. Excellent value and bang for the buck.

5.0 out of 5 stars: Feature packed phone at an economic price

Excellent phone for the price. I am mainly a Google Pixel user. However, I got this phone for my parent who mainly uses it for making phone calls. The call quality is on par with my Google Pixel phones. The phone packs useful features at an affordable price. The phone has fingerprint sensor, face unlock in addition to basic pattern and pin unlock.
The phone screen is large and pleasant to look at but not unwieldy.
The bloat apps are minimal. Fortunately, Samsung allows you to uninstall majority of the apps this phone ships with. Therefore, I’ve uninstalled many of the unnecessary OEM apps. Before buying the phone, I went through a few reviews commenting on how laggy this phone is. However, I have not had any such lag issues.
Buttons have reasonable tactile feel.
It’s plastic body feels fragile; however, it’s functional. Fortunately, a $15 phone case addresses that problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars: Great phone!

It’s a bit slower than my last phone (Note 9) but it’s well worth the money.

User Review #4:

5.0 out of 5 stars: Works good, runs all apps

Sharp and clear screen. Speed is fast and snappy. I got this because I have extensive movie and audio files over 500 gig and the higher end Samsung do not come with sd card slot. It does not have wireless charging or satellite capability. It is big and heavy due to battery and takes awhile to charge.

User Review #5:

5.0 out of 5 stars: Much better camera and speed than past A models

Got this for my son’s birthday that is hard on technology because it’s affordable but still a Samsung product. We’ve had the last two A series and the cameras were pretty poor quality in comparison to the S series, which isn’t unexpected but still was a disappointment. This one is much better, especially on the zoom, battery life is longer, processer is faster…he’s happy with it and I’m happy to see the improvements without paying over a thousand dollars.

User Review #6:

3.0 out of 5 stars : Ok budget phone

For basic needs this phone was OK.

When i opened, closed and switched apps, the phone was laggy and delayed. I didn’t use this phone for anything other than talk, text, maps, and sometimes Instagram and yet the phone would struggle. I kept the RAM usage low but the phone was still slow and delayed.

This phone only comes with 4gb of RAM. I would recommend this phone for call and text only. I wouldn’t recommend it for anything else, not even google maps. Charging speed and battery were good. Camera was ok.

User Review #7:

5.0 out of 5 stars : Excellent Deal. Highly recommend the seller.

I ordered and received my new Unlocked International Samsung Phone the same day!! When I called the customer service line to get info about a A Sim Card from my previous phone company, they told me I would have to purchase a new Sim card from TracPhone. I took a chance and just took the one I had and used it in the new phone. Low and Behold!! It worked like a charm 😁😁💜 All of my contacts, games and apps flooded over to my new phone. No hassle, no problems. I have an account with the government assistance program, where I don’t have to pay for Anything. Not for service, not for internet or phone calls. So now I have a Fantastic New Phone and still don’t have to pay for Anything
I highly recommend this seller!
