    this is an ok phone, love the size of memory and storage.

    my biggest frustration is the screen sensitivity… tapping the keyboard is no joy,, key taps don’t register correctly so you are wasting time waiting for the key to show or correcting spelling.
    touch screen irritations carry over to browsing and utilizing apps.
    its like the phone wants to do it’s own thing.

    Love this phone I haven’t had any trouble with display sensitivities so may want to start checking the apps you downloaded around the time the problem started and then one at a time. Just a suggestion… As far as memory it is great my problem is battery life.im a gamer and the battery just can’t keep up for long periods of game play like call of duty , pubg , etc. But overall great phone for the price feels like a higher end phone and the gorilla glass screen is great. 4.5 outta 5 stars

    Haven’t had this phone a good 2 weeks and can’t download none of my messages. Was just downloading like hell last night. Now all of a sudden I can’t get almost 20 messages. I don’t like Cricket. The man tells me today that he’s had phone calls about this phone. So y’all expect me to go 2 days without a phone. I bet y’all don’t when y’all have problems with y’all phone. Definitely not a happy customer…looking for another carrier Aasap
