Performance:smooth Best Feature:leica cam Excellent service and authentic products! The phone looks brand new. I ordered 8GB RAM but received 12GB—thanks for the surprise! Battery life is decent for a used phone (lasts one day), and the staff is very easy to talk to. Delivery takes about 10 days, but it’s 100% worth it. I’ll be back for my next purchase bryan1631 · shopee.ph

I’ve always been biased towards a different brand so was interested in seeing what Nokia had to offer. Firstly the colour drew me in straight away - who wouldn’t love that purple. The phone was easy to setup and transferred most of my data quickly. The battery life is amazing. One charge and I can get almost a week out of the phone if I’m just using it occasionally or two days if I’m really using laura.e · influenster.com
