A great phone for everyday users, but not for users that play games!
Phone owned for more than a year
So I got this phone for my birthday in 2018, I was really happy about this phone, since it is my first phone ever. I downloaded some games and almost all of them didn't run smoothly or didn't run at all! It ran out of space very quickly rather if it's cache building up or updating a app / game, It doesn't have enough RAM for a phone since it has 1.5 GB, which fills up very quickly making the phone slow.
