          Purchased New Desire 526 during May 2016.
          Phone has performed very well. Not a gamer, nor a gamer's phone, not a problem for me.
          Yahoo Finance app DOES NOT work at all on this phone. Might be due to underdeveloped or unsupported software.
          Has been dropped on the floor many times, screen did not break and it continues to work very well.
          Phone speaker is very low quality.

              Best value phone I have ever had. Two years ago, the VZW payment plan was $5 per month for 2 years ($120?), but the exact phone purchased at Family Dollar as a Pre-paid phone was only about $20 (now my spare phone). Only drawbacks - 8GB instead of 16GB means less apps to be stored. Also, only 2.4ghz (no 5.0ghz) but still speedy enough. Camera is pretty good. I wish I was smart enough to flash the phone to get rid of pre-installed apps (like NFL and a few more) and update the Android version. Battery consumption is variable, based on running and installed apps, WiFi and Data usage.

                        I have had this phone and model for a year now. Still goes strong. Still loads fast. Good battery life. Dropped it a dozen times without much wear or tear (no protective case). Worth the cash.

                                I've owned Motorola & Samsung products, but didn't have very high expectations for a $34.00 phone. I Was pleasantly surprized for the features I got for the price I paid. It's got everything I need and it just proves how we've all been ripped-off by technology price mark-ups that come down after being on the market for awhile! Hell when v.c.r.s first came out they were a thousand bucks! 8 waited until the price came down, but still paid over $500, 00 for my betamax dinosaur! Today it isn't worth 50cents.

                                    This phone is cheap for a reason! As low as $34 now at dollar stores! Touchscreen is wonky and often have to press things multiple times to do anything! 1.5 gb ram is not good when processor is extremely low end budget Snapdragon 210. Had 1st gen moto g with snap 400 and 1gb ram and it was faster! And I still have 2.8gb user available memory. This phone only comes with 3.4 out the box. The screen is qhd and gets hot and warm during use even on low brightness. Also the plug on the wall charger gets extremely HOT!! The phone also has about 27 HTC bloatware apps pre-installed and several of those are language packs. Anyways the only good thing about this phone is the design is nice, a little boring compared to most HTC phones. The build quality is top notch but HTC is known for that. Glad I only paid 34$ for mine and not 79-99$ at most places a couple of months ago. Just can't recommend even at 34$ , can find older model used flagships for not much more. Since this phone is so cheap there are reasons why, and some of the things I listed are probably it.

                                      The front of this phone is a fingerprint magnet! One of the worst. Even after cleaning my hands before using it, after I'm done I have to wipe off screen everytime! The back is smudge prone as well, but it's the back so I just leave it haha. :D
