I've been through quite a few phones, cause I'm clumsy with dogs. And they like to break stuff. This phone is perfect for day to day. Battery life is amazing. Can last a couple of days with light use and over a day with heavy use. YouTube, TikTok, games, etc. Calls seem to be pretty good, though I get a complaint or two sometimes on speaker phone that I break up or get choppy. But nothing too bad. Picture quality is amazing. Very versatile. Can customize to your own liking, themes, colors, even app icons. Overall. A definite bang for its buck. The only thing I've come across that's a bit of annoyance is the lock screen. The fingerprint more specifically. Sometimes the biometrics will just shut off and no longer work. And when that happens, my pin no longer works either. Though, I found if you restart the phone, the pin will work, but you'll have to set your fingerprint up again.
Otherwise, for normal use. This is a great phone. I work from home, so I'm not a construction worker or anything, so can't speak to the full blown heavy duty of it. It's a brick of a phone and my partner has already dropped it once on its face and I've hit it a few times going around corners in my pocket. (Wear shorts, so it shifts.) No cracks, nicks or anything and there is no case on it.
Works great with T-Mobile and Mint. I have Mint. 5G works perfectly. Switched my SIM card with no issue. But, this phone does not come with a SIM pick, because the tray slides out instead. So if you transfer from a phone where you have to use the SIM tool to remove. You're not gonna get it in this package. Just a heads up.
