Great phone!

Lewis Roper (Dec 6, 2017) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

Extremely fast, great HD AMOLED Screen. Responsive when touched easy to use, after a couple of months the battery life gets quite bad apart from that the camera quality is good and could do with bigger storage but is expandable what is great
