However, 3/2019 I needed to upgrade as one by one my apps "were no longer compatible with this phone" (annoying).

I guess I was just used to Sprint and Samsung just littering the phone with useless, proprietary and invasive apps - and most if not all of them couldn't be deleted or shut off

I also could disable apps I didnt won't running all the time on my previous phone

Many apps will not work with WiFi

Some apps like Samsung Health will continually crash if phone is on for too many days

All apps work, fast phone, great battery life.

I love the screening app for answering robo calls - they hang up and I can block them from disturbing me again,

You can disable the Amazon apps or get a custom loader if you really don't feel like disabling the apps but all in all this phone is fast and responsive and the screen quality is really good for the price.

But these apps don't seem to intrude or try to take over the operation of the phone

but the battery dies too quickly, the face recognition doesn't work well, the phone keeps turning itself on and now all my apps keep crashing

I immediately notice a better navigation and performance experience and crashy apps are now not so crashy.

It was easy to set up with Straight Talk, the amount of storage is awesome, apps run beautifully and I love the options in unlock security features

I don't use too much graphics intense apps,

The apps themselves aren't too bad and don't use very much space

This is a pretty decent phone, battery works, apps work

What I don't like:-Native apps

Shame it would be a great phone if everything worked as it should.

People on the other end seem to hear things fine, but the sound of people calling into the phone isn't as clear as on other phones.

Very upset, it isn't working as we bought this a month ago.

I do enjoy the Android OS a lot more than iOS as it feels less restrictive
