+ Firstly, the phone is cheap. You get what you pay for. If you're looking for a phone with the best/latest features, then this phone is not for you. If you're looking for a phone that you can use to simply text, and make calls with a colour screen, here it is.

- The pixel quality isn't the best. It doesn't have thousands of features, yet look what you pay.
