Great simple phone

Good phone & works well .The battery only lasts a couple of days but I have been told this is normal for a smartphone.Really easy to use for a real technophobe .

Phone appears good but was a waste of money.

You will understand my poor review when I say that I bought this phone for just one purpose, and it failed on that. I should point out that I don't believe the problem is with the phone but with Google. However, I have been asked to review it so here is my experience.

I had bought a Google Nest Mini but found it was unuseable until it had been setup by a smartphone. I have no smartphone and for the use it would be to me there is no point in my getting one. So I looked around to see how cheap I could get something to setup the Nest Mini & so bought this. I winced at having to spend an extra £15 ontop of what I had already paid but there it is. I chose an Android phone because it both are from Google so, surely, they would work together.

I read all the instructions, did all the searches (from my PC) and went to install the app on my phone. I am unable to as Google says it cannot install to this phone. The app is described by Google as being for an Android, the phone is an Android, But I cannot get the app to setup the Nest Mini onto this phone. For this reason only it was a total waste of money.
The phone itself looked in good condition, and starts and connects to my network with no problem. It even browses & connects to Google app website.

GLITCHES IN OPERATIONS

For the price it's reasonable but as you start to set it up little annoyances come to light. Auto Rotate doesn't work properly if at all, unable to cancel pin for Screen Unlock once set. For the person who is going to use it will suffice but for a more discerning user it would probably be a return item.
Battery seems to hold a decent charge, as for value ? it does the job.

If you've got the time...

When this phone arrived everything was in Russian!!! It's only because I already had a samsung that after about 20 minites I was able to change it to English.
Unable to use it properly though as even to turn the camera on (not take pictures) it gives the message that you need to insert a memory card.
A very time consuming product that requires other components to be purchased before you can use it so, I'm not sure if this has been worth the £30 price tag.

Excellent Basic Mobile

My Wife wanted just a basic mobile to phone and text and do a bit of Googling for her crosswords.
This one performs brilliantly for her. Easy to navigate. It does have a camera which works well on<br>photos and video but we do not use that.
Not sure what is meant by "long battery life" but it does need charged every day so I do not rate that
as particularly good but get used to charging it every morning.
It is reasonably compact to fit in handbag and my Wife loves it.
Value for money is excellent, delivery was superfast, plugged in sim and it was running straight away.

Excellent value and quality

If you chase technology, spend a £1000.00
If you want a really good phone that does all and more than you use on a daily basis, spend less than £40.00 and treat yourself to the best bit of equipment you've bought in a long time.
I'm amazed at it's features and versatility, ease of use and battery life.
Simply installed the sim from my old Blackberry and it started up immediately and in use within 5 minutes.

I have a smart phone for my work and this does the same thing for 5% of the value.

Buy one; it's a No Brainer !!

Please don't waste your money.

These are very old phones with extremely limited use. I just wanted to use this as a means of storing backup flight documents, boarding cards and covid passes incase my real phone failed or got lost.<br>It's nothing like the android phones of today, please don't waste your money.Read full review

Very good quality

I only use my mobile to talk to my wife. As far as I am concerned this is as good as any expensive iphone. Easy to use, easy to understand and just as quick. Very pleased I bought it.

Lightweight with some good features

Not able to download google apps so not able to install WhatsApp. Basic functions are fine and camera seems to be good for the size of the phone. Just hope I am not going to be blocked from downloading Play Store which would give access to other facilities.Read full review
