4.4/5Some modern app are not compatible due to Android version. The only downside is the battery capacity as phones in the A5 era had weaker specs compared to now. Regardless, it serves as a great work phone.

3.8/5It is important for the phone to be unlock and ready to receive a sim and be able to get internet without having to go to a phone shop to adjust it. Before the phone can be used.

3.8/5When I opened the package, I found a black phone. However, I had clearly ordered a gold-colored phone. What do you propose as compensation?
