Look at the size of this thing:
It has a 7.12 inch screen. That's .12" bigger than my tablet.
Makes browsing a lot nicer.
I had the same model phone last summer until one day when I accidentally put it in the same pocket with my bicycle multi-tool.
Ever since I've been looking for a replacement on eBay and Mercari. Problem was they usually go for over $200 used and I couldn't see myself spending that much money for something I really didn't need (I already have two phones and two tablets).
Then a little over a week ago I found this while window shopping on eBay:
The description read:
"AS-IS.
All “AS-IS” devices are not checked for water damage nor battery health. NO RETURNS accepted"
Which I figured quite possibly meant, "this thing doesn't work, but maybe some sucker will buy it anyway."
Well, I decided to take a chance anyway and boy did I luck out: everything works just fine (except for the hotspot/tetherring feature but that may just be a matter playing with the configuration), the humongous 6000mah battery seems to be in really good shape, and the cracks in the screen are no big deal (all of my phones wind up with cracked screens anyway so it's probably good that I got that out of the way).
As it happens, both of my tablets and my primary phone have all srarted having serious issues lately: my 10-in tablet won't charge, my 7-in tablet keeps crashing, and the touch screen on my phone has gotten really unresponsive.
I was starting to look for replacements for my phone and at least one of the tablets, but now it looks like I should be able to get by by having this phone do double duty.
Very happy . I loved using this thing last summer and have been kicking myself for being careless and breaking it ever since.
I love it when the Universe steps in to fix my mistakes for me.
