Great Off-Brand Phone! You won't regret your purchase!
Ok, I have to say that I am super impressed with this phone. If your reading this review, you are probably just as skeptical as I was when considering buying an off-brand phone. I don't write many reviews, but I always rely on others reviews so I want to help others with their hesitation to purchase this phone. I switched to T-mobile to save a little cash from being a Verizon customer for many years. First, the shipping was really fast, which was one of the reasons I got this phone after looking at other unlocked phones; this was available for Prime shipping. Now for the meat and potatoes...once I turned the phone on, it started the normal Android first use process. And since I was going from a Note 2, I already had Google information. The phone was set up with my info in about 3 minutes and started downloading the apps I had on the Note 2. Then went to T-mobile to purchase a sim card ($10). They entered my info activated the sim card and the phone was up and running in about 2 minutes. Full bars and 4G!! I've been playing with the phone for about 2 days now and everything is good to go with no problems. Only problem I had was transferring my number from Verizon and that had nothing to do with the phone itself, but the process of porting a phone number between companies. If I had to give any dislikes, I have 2...which isn't a deal breaker to me. One is that the phone doesn't have a lot of storage, but I added a 16gb micro sd and that dislike is solved. This phone will take as much as a 64GB micro card by the way. And the second dislike would be the camera. And I'm only comparing it to the Note 2 since that what I switched from. But like I said, not a deal breaker for me. This phone says 5.0 mega autofocus on the camera. Overall I'm very happy with this phone and I don't think I'll get a name brand phone ever again when I look at the cost comparison. This phone works about 98% as good as my old Galaxy Note 2 and I love Samsung products. Just not Samsung prices. If you have read this far of my review, go on and buy the phone. You won't regret it.
