great value for money
I am an old school phone user, i have had a nokia 8210 which i still have and my most current phone a nokia 1208, that has served me well for the last 10+ years, saw this on amazon, and for just under £50 i thought it was worth a punt.Now as i am not a smart phone person , i was pleasantly surprised on the quality of this little phone, was able to get it up and running straight out the box , admittedly i did have a android book for guidance and you tube to assist me, but had no problems getting started .Had more hassle trying to answer a call as i didn't realize you had to swipe towards the call icon to answer the phone, and how to get the basic numbers up to dial a call that isnt in your contacts ( its just a push of a button ) this isnt the phones fault its me not being as smart as the phone lol , these were easily resolved once i had worked out what i was doingCame in the box with plug uk / european , screen protector , instruction booklet which gave clear enough instruction on how to remove the back and how to insert your sim / sims and sd storage card.When the phone starts up it does take you through the set up process quite nicely , so you shouldn't have any issuesThe thing that i did like about this is the fact its dual sim, and one of the sim card slots takes the older style large sim cards as my sim is over 8 years old this was ideal . popped in 2 sims ( one for data although i am always connected to wi fi ) and the other for calls and texts, the phone will work perfectly well with just the one sim, but i wanted to check out the dual sim feature.My sim cards are t-mobile / virgin and although they state this on the phone screen when you go to set up which sim does what they both show as EE ( the main carrier now for t-moble / virgin ) so you have to just double check the mobile number that you are using if you are setting up one for data and one for calls etcCamera is quite good even though it is perhaps low in MP compared perhaps to other phones , but i found it more than adequate when i was taking some random photos to see what it was like . Sally my little rescue dog has kindly offered to be my model for the cameraI did download a few apps, a few social media ones , and my local radio stationif you are looking for something that is not going to break the bank, and like me you just want something slightly more modern where you can get online, take some nice pictures then i would take the plunge, and for £50 its well worth the money,if you are really into your smart phone and have loads of stuff running continually , i would perhaps look at something else .But pleasantly surprised by this little phone .UPDATEAfter having this for just over 3 weeks, phone developed a screen issue ( screen went black and stayed black ) Sadly have had to return the phone to amazon as being faulty, perhaps i hve just been unlucky ?? Shame as this was a perfect little phone for me

Bargain of an Android Phone.
I have now bought two of these phones however let me be clear on what I use them for. The reason I say this is that if your looking for a cheap super whizzy smartphone, this is no Galaxy S10, not even close.For me I needed a cheap phone to sit on the side acting as mi Internet router over 4G. No more no less. No fancy, video function, handwriting psychoanalysis features did I need! For this is absolutely bang on, easy to configure, simple menus. Also it takes a Micro SIM, where as nearly all other 4G phones on Amazon take the Nano, this might be a good selling point for some. It was for me as I have two Micro SIM cards. Did I want to try carving them down to Nano with a surgeons scalpel, hell no!The second one I just needed to have as a simple incoming number for my business, so people can call, text or WhatssApp me, no more no less. I didn't need a fancy, multi lens camera or anything, its a phone at the end of the day!Now for the one negative piece. When the phone is doing nothing on just standby, battery life is pretty good. However the minute you enable Wireless sharing to 4G the battery really does drain in a few hours! Just be aware of this if your looking to be out and about and connecting to wireless etc. You'll likely need a charging stick of some kind!Other than that, if all you need is an internet point like I did, or simply a phone to make, receive calls on, or push the boat out and install WhatsApp, then these are a true bargain.If you want something more then you will be better off with your known Samsung S8's etc as you get what you pay for!Jules

Good Value
I've only been using this 'phone for a few days, but it appears to be good value at the price. My only gripe is that it only came with a very brief 'getting started' guide. Being new to Android I could have done with a comprehensive instruction manual, but there doesn't appear to be one on the manufacturer's website. I've spent a lot of time on-line looking at manuals for similar phones to work out the details of how to use this one.

Bad screen
Bought this for my grandchildren so we can keep in touch with them during this time and have had for a day only to now be told the screen keeps freezing and doesn't react to touch screen ( top half only ? ) so not happy with these items at all

Not bad at all
I needed a phone fast. I bought one of these 10 months ago. It works, mostly very well. Battery life now seems a bit poor and the cameras are a bit rubbish in anything other than daylight. Apart from that it's all good. I bought a cover for mine and this has no doubt helped protect the phone when I have dropped it.

Excellent phone and very good 👌 value for money.
An excellent phone,easy to use and it's quick on using wi fi. The price was very good for what the phone can do,if there was one issue is that the 🔋 doesn't last as long as I would like it to but overall a 4 and a half out of five.
