" ... However this phone is solid durable and responsive nice screen, decent sound. ... "
" ... However, the screen is as clear as you might hope and the texture of the back shell feels good to the touch. ... "
" ... Not bad big screen battery wears fast so get a back up ... "

" ... The only way to revive it was to remove the battery. ... "
" ... After month 1 it started randomly turning off and the only way to get it back on is to take the battery out. ... "
" ... I have not been able to figure out the problem but believe it has something to do with the battery. ... When the battery is discharged below 40%, the apps problem seems to occur. ... "
" ... Every day at least 3 times a day i have to take the phone apart, remove the battery just to be able to use this stupid phone. ... "
" ... There's something wrong where the phone goes dead and I have to keep removing the battery. ... "

" ... It works based simply on touch, so the stylus apps will respond to your hands. ... "
" ... I love how much storage it has and that it easily runs advanced applications. ... "
" ... Browsing seems to be pretty slow on Chrome mobile in the rare case I decide to use it for that. ... "
" ... I wanted something with plenty of memory and the capability to store compatible apps to an sd card, would run those apps, and videos seamlessly while also (this is the tricky stuff) being a phone! ... "
" ... Even after all the bloatware that gets installed you still have a couple of gigs to play around around with. ... "
" ... It updated to 7.0 Nougat, and I really like the fact that I can turn off apps from running in the background, which I couldn't do before. ... "
" ... Plenty of memory and all my apps work. ... "
" ... Just upgraded to Android 7.0 , and unlike the first Stylo, this one keeps track of the pen. ... "
