An excellent small-sized stock android phone
Phone owned for less than a month
This is one of the best 4.3" phones you can buy. Though it comes with Facebook home installed by default, you can easily disable it for a stock Android experience. Would be almost perfect, except for the very small 16GB of storage built-in, and the lack of a microSD slot.
