Good first phone for myself

Edited: Feb 09, 2021, 12:38 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

This phone was my first smartphone bought especially for me when I was barely a young teen, at the time I didn't want my parents to fork out for a flagship and I wanted a midrange instead, it was ok and wasn't the best and did the job for me until 2018 when I got a Google Pixel 2 for my birthday in 2018 which was much better.

Okay Phone for a Child or Older Person

Phone owned for less than a year

I have had this phone for nearly a year as my second driver. I basically just took this phone wherever I went where I might break my main phone. The phone would always crash and have to restart it (for me). Apps like Instagram and Facebook would always stop working. Can't really recommend this phone to anyone.

Phone owned for more than a year

The guy told me it was designed for the elderly, I am not elderly. Although this was my first smartphone, it did not have sufficient storage, the camera took very poor looking pictures, and you didn't even dare use the front camera. All in all, just a cheap phone.
