        I had one of these back in 2016-2017 and it had many issues from the occasional ghost call as another person here has stated they experienced with this phone, I also experienced lock ups and random full battery discharge from ~70% to dead. Ultimately I dropped it on a soft carpeted floor and the LCD and digitizer both shattered couldn't see anything but black and couldn't touch anything, wildest part was the outer screen was fine but the darned thing was useless.

                      otnaaa, 31 Aug 2018So, are we gonna get Marshmallow or Nougat for this phone, on specifications it says that is u... moreIf you bought a phone that originally came with Marshmallow, then it is the North American version. (Specifically, it was meant for the USA and Canada.) It uses an Exynos CPU, which is the major distinguishing feature. It was upgraded to Nougat.

                      If you bought a phone that originally came with Lollipop, then it is version of the phone that was intended to be sold everywhere else. It uses a Spreadtrum CPU. It will never receive any major Android version upgrades.

                                I have the USA version and I have had this phone for exactly two years. I’ve found many issues with this phone, so her they are. My volume down button rarely changes the volume while the up always works. The phone vibrates every 10 minutes for NO reason, I’ve shit the notification thing off and everything to do with vibrations and I’ve factory reset the phone miltiple times and it still has the same issue. I have another one and it vibrates every 30 minutes and we’ve factory reset it too. I’m not quite sure how to fix it. If I turn my brightness below 10 percent the phone screen starts flickering and does not stop. Every time I go to use the google app it immediately crashes for no appearent reason. I’ve tried my SIM card in different phones, so I know that isn’t the issue, but my phone vibrates like someone is calling but there is no notification or way to answer. After the phone stops ringing, no notification appears but when I go to the phone app, there’s a missed call. The caller ID often doesn’t work and just appears with the phone number.
