Great cell phone has a really nice screen. Works great with metro pcs. Really fast speeds if your in a good area. Battery lasts me 2 days with heavy use. Just waiting for Kit Kat update.

I'll start off with this review is with 4G off, it's too flaky in our area.

I bought this phone for my Mom, and this is her first smartphone.  She is one of the most tech-illiterate persons I know.  She never texted on her old phones (last was LG Lotus).  But a week later, here she is texting me.  Granted, I set everything up for her to go so I have a good feel for the phone.

One of the big questions right now is reception.  Call quality has been fine, no dropped calls for where she normally frequents.  Wifi signal shows a little weaker than my Pre, but it seems to work just fine.  Loads things faster than my Pre from the same spot =)  She has light data usage, but she gets her email fine and browsing through her picasa library.  It hasn't been too long, but the phone seems solid.  My brother has the same phone, and his data has been good as well.

The biggest downsides I have to this phone are it scratches pretty easily on the back (dunno about the glass) and it's slippery.  I highly recommend the Ringke cases.

Other notables: camera is OK, but my opinion on all smartphone cameras sans the nokia N8 and like is they all are not up to par.  The android button row is impossible to see even on a cloudy day.  If you memorize the order of the buttons, you're ok.  If you flip between different android phones a lot, you might have issues.  The screen itself is nice, haven't tested in full sun though.  But I haven't had any smartphone be easy to use outside in bright light.  Inside, the screen is absolutely beautiful.

Finally, having a clean, stock, Android system is certainly nice to work from.  You probably will want to spend a bit of time customizing everything, so if you do that anyway, this phone will probably be perfect.  Just be warned, customizing isn't always free to get exactly what you want.

This phone works like your expensive android phone but with a very AFFORDABLE price. It has all the necessary functionalities like calls,messaging, camera, music, FM radio, sound recorder, file manager, To Do List, Calendar, Alarm Clock, Timer, Countdown, Email, Calculator, Searching the web, Flashlight etc.

Lets talk about the unboxing first. the box came with

*CHSLING 5.5" IPS HD Android 5.1
*micro USB charger cord
*wall charger
*earphones
*hard case
*tempered glass screen protector
*user manual

The phone is a 5.5 inch Android 5.1 phone with Quad Core ROM 4GB. It has 5.0MP back camera and 2.0MP front camera with a front flash for the best selfies anywhere anytime!. I've took some real nice pictures with and without flash. The front camera has a beauty mode too. The phone material is made durable plastic and it almost looks like expensive android phone. It doesn't really feel cheap at all even the touch buttons all work really fine and I really love the back cover,. I got the white one and it looks really nice and classy. Its not light nor heavy just the right weight and its also not bulky,I think its about .70cm in thickness and you will really think its an expensive android phone.

The screen is big enough to be able to watch videos, play games and read blogs and everything else you love doing on your phone. The screen size is perfect for me. My husband has a Nexus phone and it almost looks like a tablet and I don't really like big phones like that. This is just perfect.

The screen resolution is really surprising. knowing that its very affordable compared to other android phones the resolution is really bright and the color is very vibrant. next thing I checked was the speakers. I love listening to music and its important for me that my phone have good loud speakers. I'm very meticulous when it comes to sound quality and this phone didn't fail me. Its really loud yet it keeps the music in its great quality. watch the video to see the sound quality and volume of the speakers.

The camera is also amazing!! I was not actually expecting it to be this great but as you can see in the end part of the video I showed all the pictures I took from this phone. You can also tweak on the settings to change on your preference.

Another thing that I am very particular of is having my social networks on my phone so I had to set up my android account to access play store. I downloaded Facebook, YouTube and Instagram and they work perfectly fine.

Web browser also works perfect all connectivity like Bluetooth and WiFi works great I can definitely make this phone my primary one. plus it charges fast but stays for a whole day with average use.

Got this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I do not work for this company nor being paid by them.

I'm so happy with this phone that I bought one for my wife. Because it's unlocked, there's none of the bloat-ware that slows down other phones sold by the cell companies themselves. It's the right size, has a nice bright screen, and seems well built. I've owned mine for more than six months, and it's been trouble-free. It was very easy to set up with Page Plus Cellular, a company that resells Verizon service on a pay as you go basis.

I've had this phone for about a week now and love it. I've been using it on Tmobile and everything has worked fine. You can use 2 sims (1 is regular sized and the other micro) but i only used one. Before this i was using a Samsung Galaxy S2.

The battery of this phone is very good. It lasts me roughly 2 days. I was barely getting through a day with my old phone. My usage isn't too heavy but a general day probably has: 4g is always open, 2-3 hours worth of reading, <1 hr talk, <1 hr of music, and roughly another hour of general usage.

The screen is gorgeous, it clocks in at 294ppi ; my iphone 4s was at 326ppi i believe (though of course much smaller screen) ... but still not bad for a brand i never heard of before getting this phone. It is quite huge though and most definitely not for everyone because of that.

The phone is lightweight and thin though; slips in and out of my pocket easily. I got the yellow one and it is pretty eye catching in a good way in my opinion. The camera quality could be better but it is OK.

Overall for the price, I would highly recommend this phone package (comes with many nice extras!) to anyone looking for a good affordable unlocked Windows phone.

Great Phone that has a vibrant display. The larger size display is good but still fits in hand and in pocket. Initially the buttons on the back was weird. Now got used to it. The phone doesn't come with an audio recorder but can download an app. So far the device is able to handle and retain charge for long time. I have been using this phone for the past 4 months. The device is fast for moderate use.

This phone is great is you want as much capability as possible crammed into a hand-held device. No, it doesn't have the most simple or flashy user interface, and if you only browse the web and download games, better stick with something simpler. But if you want some power-user features, this fits the bill nicely.

The camera is most impressive. I recently compared it to my Panasonic TS1 camera, which isn't shabby itself, and the N8 got better-looking photos, with better sharpness, contrast and color accuracy, not to mention vastly more detail in low light and no annoying chroma noise. Also love the bright wide-angle lens, and the Xenon flash. I only wish it had better dynamic range in the highlights. Make no mistake - it leaves any other phone camera in the dust.

The OS is packed with features like a file browser, Bluetooth file transfers, photo editor, HD video recording, turn-by-turn navigation, mass storage "drag and drop" support, and more. The interface is intuitive and easy enough to use. I know a lot of people complain how it's not as "slick" and "polished" compared to Apple's, but I personally find Apple's interface disgustingly limiting and restrictive, thus I prefer a more capable OS.

I also love the multi-tasking abilities. I can follow turn-by-turn navigation while listening to music while taking photos at the same time with this phone, and it performs without a hiccup.

The multi-media capabilities are quite nice too. With 16GB internal storage and powerful hardware, I can simply copy movies from my computer to the phone, and it plays them back flawlessly. The music player has an easy to use interface and the sound quality is excellent. It also comes with a good-sounding headset, which can control the player.

It has 3G on every band, which means I can have a fast connection with any GSM carrier.

The keyboard is ok, but I still prefer a hardware keyboard.

While it offers plenty of features, it's missing some abilities compared to my older Nokia E71. It can't create a custom EQ preset, can't edit ID3 tags, can't edit office documents without a paid upgrade (Edit - as of January 2011, a firmware update enabled office document editing), and can't encrypt the memory (Edit - the upgrade to Symbian Belle enabled memory encryption). At least it has a passcode lock, and while locked, you can't access the phone via the USB port, so that should stop all but the most determined hackers and crackers.

Overall, I am quite pleased with the phone. On paper, it may not have the most impressive specs, but in actual use I found it to be a surprisingly capable and powerful device.

I bought this after debating getting either the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One. First off, battery life is amazing with GPS off, which is to be expected with its humongous battery. The screen is gorgeous and represents colors better than the galaxy which tends to make colors overly bright. The remote feature is definitely cool especially since you can use it to power not only tv's (like with the S4 and htc one) but other appliances too such as fans, dvd players, cable boxes, etc basically anything that uses a remote and if its not in the database, you just point your remote at the phone and it learns the functions. The camera is really great as it has hardware optical stabilization, unlike the others with just software stabilization. But the most important aspects are the performance specs, 2.26 Ghz quad core cpu with 2 GB of RAM - this thing is the Bugatti of the phone world.

If I could name any problem it would be that the phone is extremely smooth (almost silky smooth) and while it... Read more

Really great phone for price. I ordered the global gsm and works fine with T-Mobile for those who need to use it in USA and globally. I like the android 5 experience on phone. The phone may get little laggy when you have a lot of ongoing tasks (due to just 1 GB ram) but you can keep on closing unused windows and clear RAM in a timely manner to get good performance. As long as you don't overload the phone with hardware intensive softwares it works great for day to day use on browsing, emails, YouTube, music, and social networking apps. And ya, I enjoy the 5 inch screen on this phone.

This phone is really nice but it could be a tad bit bigger especially coming from a Note. The thing with the Boost vs Virgin Volt is that it doesn't allow apps to sd card, other then that and the color it's the same. I like the nice bright clear screen which looks good to me regardless of the resolution. It's fast, thin, light weight with a nice big battery that will last days with normal use. This is one energizer phone if you care about battery life...I now judge my phone purchases by the battery life. I had a galaxy Note with a month old battery and this will run circles around it in terms of battery life. Make sure you go through the setting and make adjustment to certain apps like mail, gps, etc to get the best battery life.
Unlike Samsung phones this phone has lots of useful features that I actually will use unlike the Samsung phone which I turn off most if not all of them. For the money you get most the features of the feature of the flagship phones, in a IR blaster, KItKat at a 1/4 of the price. I brought four Volts for less than the price of a iPhone or Galaxy S5. I would highly recommend this phone for anyone on Boost or Virgin Mobile.

The screen is beautiful, I feel like I'm looking at a high end phone. Everything seems to just look very vibrant and rich. The camera does a really great job of capturing color as well.  I've been using this phone YOUTUBE, Facebook, surfing the net, playing some music, game and messenger calling  and didn't have any problem of the phone so far so good the audio quality is good. I can hear my friends when I call them. I love that this phone can do everything same as my other brand phone we have. It is already tested. I am loving my JUNING phone. For me it is a friendly user phone easy to get around. Very nice phone! Price is very reasonable! Highly recommended

I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own. I've giving my 100% honest opinion

I've had this phone for over a month now and love it.  I've played with my husband's Blackberry and find this to be the better choice.  The battery lasts several days for me, depending on how much internet and email usage it gets.  The phone quality is great.  I love storing all of my contact info in one place (multiple phone numbers, emails, multiple addresses, account numbers, birthdays, names of children, etc.).  I didn't buy it for the camera as I have some really nice ones, but this one is pretty cool.  The screen is touch screen, but personal preference is to use the mouse.  It syncs easily to my computer and I have worked on documents on my phone.  It is user-friendly and has been a joy to have.

Great looking phone, sharp screen,  works smoothly, good 8 meg camera, and the slight curve of the phone is interesting.
Need to install a memory card for lots of music and photos. Glad it allows you to install a card.
Price is so low it's hard not to love it.
Prefer it over my IPhone I5

I've been enjoying this phone for a couple of weeks now. I bought it because it had a big screen, yet could easily fit in my pockets unlike other 5+ inch screens. It is definitely worth the price. The screen is impressive! Battery seem really good so far too. I suggest getting an SD card for you music.

If I had to say bad things about it it would be that it has limited storage space but it can still run a ton of apps as long as you don't fill it up with 3d games. Camera is a little grainy. Boost mobile has annoying pre-installed apps you will have to disable. But it's worth the 35 dollars a month.
