This might not be the phone for you
I wanted to like the A20, I really did but the A20 just seemed to have issues that was a no go for me so I returned it. Also I need to take some blame in buying this phone because I did not do my due diligence on researching the A20 before purchasing it.
I received the A20 this past Sunday, July 7th, I opened the package, got the A20 set up and was ready to use it!!, I was excited. IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES!!, after getting the A20 set up, I started to have issues with it. First of all upon booting up the A20 for the first time, the greeting and instructions were in a foreign language, now that's not a big concern or issue but it did make me wonder and think "that's kinda of unusual".
The phone started to lag between transitions of switching apps and would freeze for a second when using the internet.
Now I know this phone does not have the best of the line processor in it, being a mid-range phone, but I at least expected somewhat of a decent user experience. Also the UI interface of the A20 lags as well sometimes.
The A20 also kept self closing out when I was using the internet. For about 2 minutes when I kept trying to use the internet after about 30 seconds into reading a website the A20 would just crash and close out from the internet. I was so frustrated.
This last part is on me because I didn’t due my diligence before purchasing this phone. Now I knew this phone didn't have a notification led light but I still was going to purchase it because I figured it would have the "always on display" for notifications. NOPE!!, WRONG!!! the A20 doesn't have "always on display" either, which means you have to check your phone manually to see if you have missed calls, texts or notifications.
Now I know whoever reads this review might say "so what you have to check the phone manually, what's wrong with that?, I'm making a big deal out of nothing"
Well, for me once you use a phone that has notifications LED and always on display, it's hard to go back to checking your phone manually for any missed notifications.
Now this phone is nice, it has a 6.4 inch super amoled almost bezel-less screen, which is great for media consumption but the resolution is only 720 tops.
If you want this phone than buy, but I would just beware of this phone. It would be better to look for other mid-range phones with better specs.
