Think carefully before buying this product.

When I first picked up the phone, I saw how the camera's back cover sagged and creaked, as if it had been sold to an elderly Chinese for $50. The SIM tray, which slightly protrudes from the case on one side and the entire frame around the screen is not the most even, added to this impression. There is a camera, but nothing is to be expected from it. At the very least, the primary lens and the front camera continue to capture images, but the wide-angle and macro lenses are worthless pieces of solid soap. Low resolution is not the cause of the unpleasant to the sight, ripple-like appearance on the screen. Also, and albeit infrequently, artifacts will occasionally flash across the full screen, which is annoying. Everything is not right with the touchscreen as well; when using the swipe keyboard, he frequently loses track of his finger and breaks the line. The screen becomes quite dirty despite what appears to be an oleophobic coating, and even the least expensive protective glass turned out to be superior. Also, the radio module has issues, the network lags more frequently than it did on my prior phones, and I frequently need to toggle the flight mode on and off. I still don't know how to push the phone to my ear to prevent the screen from turning on because the proximity sensor is so bad. The music coming from the speaker is modest, the sound coming from the headphones and Bluetooth are mediocre, but these are just minor details. Another oddity with charging is that rapid charging from 0 to 100 takes only 10-15 minutes longer through the original wire and power source than regular charging through a regular 2-amp unit. The smartphone as a whole is a disappointment. In general, I had initially anticipated receiving a smartphone that was on par with its less expensive but already out-of-date competitors, at least in terms of bringing the firmware to mind. However, in the end, I received the cheapest no-name Chinese device with a full range of flaws built right in, which was much more expensive and boasted a proud writing Samsung, the meaning of which is completely meaningless.
