Buyers' weakest aspect—reliability and responsiveness—directly mirrors video reviewers' concerns about the phone's sluggish performance and buffering issues.
In their words
“I got this phone for a secondary phone and for the price tag this is a great phone. Most tasks run smooth if it's web browsing, social media or watching videos. The audio sounds really good with the stereo speakers. Phone calls were clear and loud. Everything I've done has ran smooth. Games run good on here if they're not graphic intense. The camera takes good clear pictures. Video recording looks”

“I have tract ones from qvc for many years and loved them, some more than others. But this phone is the worst. I will never buy a motorcycle phone again. I've always had great coverage and quick response and found them easy to use. This one is confusing, slow responses, constantly buffering, (give up and go to my tablet), doesn't always sound notification for text.”
