Great Buy

Phone owned for less than 3 months

A lot has changed software wise since the initial reviews.

Money-wise it's a brainer to buy because of the price point and the near-premium quality of the hardware. This definitely a Nokia phone in spirit.

What I like

Cameras are great considering the price point.
The full Windows 10 experience on a smartphone! Includes Office, FB, Instagram and Twitter
Still has excellent software support. Bugs have been fixed since the initial reviews.
MicroSD Card
Replaceable back cover.
Replaceable battery.
Battery life is excellent.

What I don't like

Windows 10 lacks Snapchat
Some app developers are rather slow to respond to bugs.

Phone owned for more than a year

Good to normal usage like calls pictures etc, good built quality. Windows 10 kills the joy of using that phone.. They have troubles since 8.0 which they didn't fix to this day. If you had this device on 8.1, never update to 10. You will regret it.

Wonderful Budget Phone

Phone owned for less than a year

This phone is one of the best budget phones out there. The OS is of course easy to use and straightforward. Battery life for this device is great. The camera is good for a budget device, but won't compete with most high-end flagships. Great phone, I would recommend it over any other sub-$200 device I've tried.
