                Update, I'm the guy of the previous comment.
                In case anyone wondered, I found why the SD card reader stopped working:

                One of the connections soldering simply came off. I don't even know how or when. It can be fixed and it's quite easy but I don't have the tools to do so and doing it with a repair shop is expensive.

                It's an okay phone if your SD card reader works though. Still, definitely not up to nowadays standards, mainly because of storage limitarions.

                  Don't buy even if it's cheap.

                  It has been reported, and it has happened to me, that the SD Card slot stops working.

                  Now this may have a workaround since if you use ES File Explorer and you have Android 4.4 KitKat, OTG works for reading external devices. This does NOT work on Lollipop though.

                  The problem comes that if you buy this phone from a carrier, it will have a locked bootloader, so if it has Lollipop installed you cannot downgrade. There is supposed to be a workaround but it's so risky it's not worth trying.

                  So after Google Play services updates, you only have like 1 GB left for all your apps and data.

                  If your SD Card slot stops working (which doesn't seem to be that uncommon), this phone pretty much becomes a brick since you can't do anything with such little storage.

                  Go for something else.

                    the very simple solution to get this phone to work is to turn off discover and you want to when you go to settings you want to add yourself as a developer and it fixes everything.
