PLEASE DONT GET THIS HUNK OF JUNK!!!
I got this phone in august 2025, at first, everything was great on this phone, but soon, things started going downhill for it. First of all, the quality of the pictures it took were horrible. The camera quality is good when taking pictures up close, but as soon as the lights are dimmer or you are taking pictures from afar everything turns into visible clumps of pixels, and don't even get me started on zooming in or out. Secondly, when someone calls you, you have to tap multiple times on the answer button before the phone realizes that you pressed it. The quality of the calls are also garbage and they often glitch out or don't let you hang up. Thirdly, background apps not running. Apps usually ask for codes sent to your email after trying to sign in witch is perfectly normal and should work, but when you switch into you Gmail and go back to the app you were using, the whole thing restarts and so does the process to sign in. So if you don't have an extra device with your Gmail, I'm sorry to say that you will not be using that app. And lastly, the weight. If you like baggy clothes, then good luck with this phone. Wearing baggy clothes or something that isn't tight to your waist and putting that phone in your pocket does not mix. You will be constantly pulling your pants up because it weighs a lot. Thanks for reading!!

Excellent Phone For The Price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my son so he could watch YouTube and play games. So far it’s been great and I thought it may struggle with gaming but it handles it just fine. The build quality is excellent and the screen is extremely clear and bright. I would definitely buy another A series phone as they work so great.

Ai everywhere on Software, on browsers only make devices are buggy & slow. Your survey sucks only could vote 4.0 or 5.0 not 4.5 Stars. -Major airlines in Canada HURTS to check online on mobile! -Even supermarket flyers suck as I can't tell the DIFFERENCE between the yogurt from the milk containers!
