Don't buy this phone if you want to download apps

Phone owned for more than a year

I had this phone for 2.5 years, and I hated it. There are many problems with the phone, especially how gosh darn SLOW it is, but there is one flaw with this phone that far exceeds the others: The storage.

First, there is 8GB of internal storage. It is expandable with a MicroSDHC card (up to 32GB), but this storage can only be used for media files, not apps. You CANNOT format the SD card as internal. This leaves me with 8GB remaining, but 4.84GB was used by the Android OS. Then, Google bloatware like Google Play Services and its "grey goo" caches and "documents and data" took up another 1.1-1.8GB. Then, there's the other undeletable bloatware. I'm not sure if this was due to TracFone or ZTE but there is 1GB of random bloat apps I cannot uninstall, from Facebook to Messenger to 1Weather to Appfinder and more. It's bad. Because Android sees the last 500MB of space as a buffer, that leaves me with a maximum of 560MB of free space, and one that rapidly declines if you don't delete app data. Storage is so ridiculously tight that I have to browse apps for minimum size because every megabyte counts. I didn't have room for some large apps like Snapchat. And also when I try to download an app it fails 70% of the time because of eternal "pending" or "storage full." It's bad, really bad.

My app recommendations for this phone are an NES/SNES emulator, GB/GBC/GBA emulator, and a barebones text editor app. That's about the most use you can get out of such little storage space.

If you're thinking about getting this phone, think again! I strongly urge you to stay away from this phone. If your budget is tight, just spend $10 extra on the 16GB model of this phone. Or something else entirely (just get at least 16GB of internal storage!)
