Phone is actually an insane value for the money. If you are looking for a cheap smartphone that has the power to get the job done, this is it. I was actually pretty shocked by how smooth the phone runs basic apps and by its ability to play some simple-moderate graphic games. Phone came with little to no bloat apps pre installed. Calls, texts, and data all worked with Sim swap perfect for me. However if you are reading this to consider the potential issues you may face, I have them for you....The camera quality is pretty terrible. I've had a bunch of smartphones and this one is challenged in that area. Photo quality is generally blurry, struggles greatly in anything but perfect lighting, and it just looks potato like.The speakers are sort of weak and not very loud if you are trying to call in busy environments often. I struggle to hear people on the highway in my car on speakerphone. The speakers on mine also have issues only about a month in. They make a static sound every once in awhile that's a bit strange sounding. It happens when I plug in earbuds also so I assume its something physically wrong haha. (Bluetooth earbuds solve issue, its also not a deal breaker)Display smoothness is only good when the device is set to 90htz adaptive refresh rate. This is also not a super big deal to just leave the phone in the faster display refresh rate... But it does cause battery drain. When the phone is in 60htz it just feels extremely laggy and cheap.Launcher is kinda basic and doesn't allow for much customization, I highly recommend switching the launcher to something else. (If you like to lock your android phone or wake it with taps on the home screen, its in the accessibility settings for wake and a different launcher can allow the locking feature.Colors of display are a bit washed out, I put the display into full warmth instead of cool... And also turned on a little bit of night lighting to warm the screen to a more average looking color setup.Battery life is ok but could be just a hair better in my opinion. (I still get great battery life, its just not a 2 day phone for moderate to heavier users.)Bluetooth in the car (at least in my car) didn't work with hands free calling. I had to just disable calling over Bluetooth and use the phones speakerphone instead to make it work out.There has been moments when I get some strange glitches or issues but it almost never freezes or anything super major. *** For example: one time I was using an app, went back into the app after being on the home screen and the whole app was just a completely black screen. I then swipped out of the app and then went back to it for a second time and it displayed everything fine and normal. Its little silly stuff like that once in awhile. But its nothing I have felt "ruins" anything.Overall this about all the cons I struggled with and I still enjoy the phone thus my positive stars. I do feel its a serious value to usefulness ration. I plan on keeping the phone and using it for at least a year or 2.I purchased this device on sale for 74.99 USD. The value, the gaming, the battery, the modern version of andriod, the non-bloat filled OS, and the semi smooth experience... Is already enough to make this a good deal. I really like what HMD is doing with their devices.I would highly recommend this device.Don't forget to also check out HMDs more powerful devices like the HMD fusion (which is super unique) and the HMD skyline if your in the market for something a bit more premium and luxury.Have a great day! Happy shopping.

Fantastic Phone for those who don't care for social media/ or use a ton of apps.I use YouTube in a browser as well as Twitter and do not have the apps enabled/installed natively. Battery life is phenomenal, and performance stays smooth with no stupid notifications.Had to perform system updates out of the box including a OS Update, but honestly it didn't take long. Worked out of the box with my Carrier (Verizon) and has little to no Data connectivity issues.Bluetooth seems hit or miss, but that might be my headphones, but thankfully this phone still includes a 3.5mm Jack.Phone has a good amount of storage for Videos or Music, so I download videos for viewing in areas where Verizon doesn't cover.The screen is perfectly usable, bright, colorful, and smooth. Watching content on here is a comfortable experience.The built in speakers are good enough for what they are, usable.The phone does not seem to support Wireless Charging or Fast Charging, which is fine. The standard charging on USB-C is plenty fast enough for me.The Camera is where this phone falls short though. Extremely grainy and dull, it even has issues scanning QR Codes from screens. While I don't necessarily mind that myself, I know others will have an issue with that. Keep that in Mind.Personally, I think a model of this phone *without* a camera would be pretty cool.This Phone has no NFC reader, so tap to pay or Google wallet is unusable on here, which is fine by me.The flashlight is pretty bright, and works well (As it should).

Warning ⚠️ my phone went dead one morning shortly after my return window closed. Well I charged the phone but soon realized at it would not power on correctly. We'll long story short you have zero warranty when purchasing this phone! Make sure you get the extended warranty or avoid it at all costs. Otherwise it was a decent phone for a couple months.

I've used worse!

My Moto 5G 2022 battery starting failing dramatically after 18 months. Random restarts, battery dropping to 1% after a little use. I had purchased directly and wanted to do the same again. No installment plans. Also, I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg as I don't need fancy features. Just calling, texting, taking a few decent quality pics and vids, browsing a few websites, and playing some low key games like solitaire.Given the sale, I thought I'd give this a try. It arrived quickly and was half charged. Set up was a breeze. There was an option to attach my old phone to this phone via usb-c. Transferred many apps, settings, and such (it does not transfer side-loaded apps or apps from alternate libraries like F-Droid). It even transferred my alarms and launcher. Upon use, it looked like my old phone in terms of interface due to the launcher transfer.Biggest issue was setting the SD card and sim chip in the tray correctly. It took me a few times. Aside from that, so far, so good. It seems to perform just a quickly as my old phone and the battery is holding out fine.I'll edit if things changes. As for now, things seem fine.

Unironically one of the best phone's I've owned.It has some really neat features while also staying pretty fast. It's a good phone for everyday use and even some gaming.Only actual downside is the battery life is a bit shorter than I hoped.

The phone works great,Was easy to integrate into my current phone carrier.

Got it for work just to utilize the camera. It takes horrible photos, constantly blurry no matter how many different ways and modes I've tried.Screen is not bright enough to work outside with. Had hoped this would be a great buy only to have to return it used and worthless.
