This is my favorite phone. It does all I need it to, and access to every app I want. I don't want to upgrade to the next generations for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest is the size. It has a nice sized screen, even for this old man, and still small enough that it doesn't feel like a tablet in my hand. It fits in my pocket with ease, unlike the new larger phones. And to be honest, I have a really hard time paying 500.00+ for something that really does not do any more than this phone. Probably the only con in my opinion is the quality of the camera, but it takes the kind of pics I usually take with no problems. Plus, I will always be partial to Droids than Apples, mainly due to the fact I can easily upgrade memory whenever I feel the need.

I wanted something like the Galaxy series only smaller, and this is it. Battery life is great. The camera isn't great, with pretty much anything other than broad daylight resulting in grainy pictures and/or motion blur from overly long exposure. But it gets the job done. Also, be aware that the flash is located below the camera lens, so it's very easy to accidentally block it with your finger. If you care about rooting, you can do it, but as far as I know you can't unlock the bootloader or install 3rd-party ROMs such as CyanogenMod. One thing to look out for is the lack of an ambient light sensor. This means that by default, you have to manually adjust the screen brightness. To fix this, I highly recommend installing an app called Lux, which can use the phone's front-facing camera as a light sensor to auto-adjust the screen brightness. All in all, it's a good choice if you're looking for a miniaturized version of the Galaxy S III, but unfortunately you will have to make a few compromises in functionality (camera, light sensor, custom ROMs) in order to get the smaller size.Read full review
Overall the phone is nice. Wanted something smaller. It's the perfect size. OS is a little slow since it's an older phone and the battery dies quickly. But I'm satisfied.

I was a bit hesitate in buying this phone but after using it for a few weeks now I am very pleased that I made the purchase. This phone is so easy to use. One swipe and your in business to go where you have to go in using it. Checking my email is so easy also. As for the battery life it is not so bad. As long as you don't have all the apps on it won't be taking up battery life. So when I don't need those apps I just shut them off.. and its good to go. I would recommend this phone. Easy to get to where you want to go and it is quick. I can not compare this to any other phone because this is my first time having a smartphone and I like it. I have the Samsung tablet and after experiencing that I knew that I would be pleased with the phone, therefore I made the purchase. So far there isn't anything that I dislike about this phone. It just reminds me of my tablet by Samsung which I love. What I really like about this phone is that my phone carrier's app tells me how many minutes and texts has been used. So I don't have to check on there site. I think this is a great feature that this phone does this. Like I stated before, my first time with a smartphone and I really do like the bells and whistles it gives. Even if I don't use it but it is there if I need to.Read full review
