Works with Verizon, works as described. Continue reading.

The main thing that drew me to this phone is the 64GB of storage compared to my 32GB Samsung Galaxy S7 which was behaving strangely after I started receiving messages that my internal storage was low is. Even though I added two separate 128 SIM cards I still got the same error message and my phone started freezing, taking a long time to boot up and acting strange. So, back to what struck me about this phone, it's 64GB of storage. I've read other specs and concerns, but since I mainly use my phone for calling, texting or messaging, and using browsers and other major concerns, I haven't paid much attention to the other features. But trust me, once I got it and started experimenting with it, I liked the features and other features I found including the 2 SIM slot that allows me to have 2 SIM cards at the same time. The other big thing for me was that I needed a phone that would work with Verizon and one of the reviews mentioned that I just need to transfer my old SIM card to the new Verizon phone sim and it worked. A NOTICE. I had an old Verizon SIM card that I transferred to this new Verizon compatible phone, but I don't think another carrier's SIM card will work or apply to you so you may need a new SIM card require. card.that helped a lot with the initial setup. As I like smaller phones that fit in my purse and tight spaces I was a bit skeptical about going from a 5.5 inch phone to this 6.4 inch phone but fell in love when I got it I'm into the big screen which is better for watching movies or viewing certain things in landscape mode versus the normal portrait view. I like that my Samsung Galaxy was durable, but this phone is much lighter. I hope that doesn't mean it makes it easier to break. Oh I also like that there is no blinking notification light which is usually in the top left corner because on my other phones it was very annoying and distracting for me. Even if there is a way to add it or enable it on this phone, I won't because I like it without that feature. My 2 DISADVANTAGES: 1) So far there was a charging cable in the box, but it was too short. compared to other standard charging cables I'm used to. I guess I was just being spoiled which is why I bought a long charging cable and hopefully if I can get it and it's actually compatible/working my problem will be solved soon. 2) I haven't read anywhere that it can charge wirelessly, so I will miss this feature on my Samsung Galaxy S7. It's a relatively new phone so there's still a lot to discover, but I love everything about it, including the fact that I have a clear case, the headphones come in the box, and that it has a feature that lets you take a photo of Can make/touch objects - Codes for online shopping.
