    • Battery life and charge times are impressive
    • is super fast ( with high speed)updates to android lollipopCons: battery life isn't the greatest (if ur playing games using the camera or watching videos the battery doesn't last u very long if ur texting all day or calling or checking ur social media like Facebook Twitter or ur emails it usually lasts all day)Sometimes I have to restart the phone because my keyboard stops working which, to me, isn't tht big of a dealNot a lot of space if ur a serious gamer u can extend ur storage with an SD card thoughOver a I think this phone is great and if u have big hands, desire a bigger screen, or want a phone tht still upgrades to the latest android version on the cheapest prepaid network(Virgin Mobile
