My Samsung’s charging port wore out after just over two years, ridiculous. Then the phone got disabled completely today, water contact (I won’t go into the embarrassing details) so I bought the Debut, lowest price “upgrade” at local Cricket store. A no-name phone for sure – who makes it? Seems to do basic functions inc. camera okay at quick intro.
It is made by Chinese manufacturer Tinno Mobile
