Review: Great phone - I got this phone as a replacement for a Galaxy S4 mini and I love it. It’s larger than my old phone but I chose it as the smallest replacement. Now I have it and am using it, I’m impressed with it’s functionality and ease of use, particularly apps and the internet. Somehow it seems a real leap in ease of use from my old phone (which I loved). But best of all is the battery life which is very impressive for a smart phone. Also the company who supplied it were very good. It was down as a used factory return in very good condition. When it arrived, the paperwork described the “damage” it had. It was a tiny scratch which took some finding. Personally, I would have described it as new. It arrived quickly as promised.
Review: Good phone, easy to use - Good phone, easy to use, good battery life. Only slight dislike is the Samsung 'briefing' screen, I would prefer another screen that I can customise with apps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great phone
*by A***B on 5 March 2019*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good phone, easy to use
*by A***R on 18 October 2017*

Good phone, easy to use, good battery life. Only slight dislike is the Samsung 'briefing' screen, I would prefer another screen that I can customise with apps.

### ⭐ I payed to much for the phone and it has been modified.
*by R***L on 20 December 2020*

The phone I received has been modified, so I cannot update the software on the phone, I have performed a factory reset on phone and rebooted it but still can not update the software. Also, the phone is at least 3 yrs old and I paid too much for the phone. this puts me off buying online. I shall have to watch out next time I order anything online. .or well that is 200 pounds down the pan. thanks for nothing. R Marshall PS I didn't mean to be so negative this sort of thing happens now and again. as the saying goes if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all. I am hopeing to resolve this issue with the seller. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. R Marshall.
