I ordered this phone to

Paul R. Nellom Jr. (Mar 14, 2016) on Amazon

I ordered this phone to replace my HTC One M7. This phone has awesome battery life, great speakers, nice clarity when speaker/hearing people over the phone, text messages are sent/comes in immediately, and the browser speed is pretty fast. Some of you are probably wondering if it's easy to activate/switch over from another phone. The answer is yes. This phone doesn't take a sim card and you will be up and running in under 10 minutes. This phone also has a 13mp camera which is an awesome bonus for people that enjoys taking pictures. The front camera isn't as strong, but the pictures are still crisp and clear without being faded or blurry. I was very skeptical about LG phones, because years back I owned a LG rumor that had a sliding keyboard, and the phone completely failed and wouldn't turn back on. It seems like LG has gotten back on the right track and is making great quality phones.

I had a Kyocera Hydro,

Jade (Sep 29, 2015) on Amazon

I had a Kyocera Hydro, and it sucked. small phone, would restart for any and no reason at all, small amount of internal storage, camera was poor. I knew I needed a new phone. I bought this one used, but you can barely tell. The edges were a little banged up, but I bought a phone case which fixed it up nicely. I love it, it works so well. I don't have a ton of apps, so I feel a little pampered by having up to 23GB of internal storage, which I am using a whopping 2GB currently. Sometimes during the weekly 3 hour call I have with my mother (we're both busy) the phone call drops once, but considering that the old Hydro once restarted 4 times in a 2 hour span, I'm not too unhappy...

I broke my screen on

Ashley T. (Feb 12, 2015) on Amazon

I broke my screen on my iPhone 5c and didn't want to pay more than I paid for the phone to fix the screen so I made the switch from apple to android. It was a Great decision. I really like this phone. Pros: nice size, Great definition to the screen, nice overall look, great customization.Cons: screen isn't so good in the sun and is kind of glossy, tinny speaker, camera isn't so Great, outdated Bluetooth and doesn't work with some Bluetooth devices like fitbit or Jawbone up24. Outdated android and they don't know when/if this device will update to kit kat or lollipop.Other than that It's Great.
