Not a bad phone for the price. You guys act like its a $500 phone. I payed $29.99u.s. it works perfectly! I put a 16gb micro sd in it and formated it into the memory. Yes there are a lot of useless apps taking up space.i do have to clear cache often. Im gonna do a root soon. use this to learn how.

    This is NOT a Smart Phone! There is NO room in this phone for ANY aps it is 90% full when starting out. (with non removable useless Apps) YES you can upgrade the memory up to 128GB SD card. But after you do you find out that MOST apps can not be moved to the sd card. Also you will not be able to install a new app if the 8gb is full. Why have upgradeable memory if it useless! It's Moronic for ALL Samsung phones to not set the memory to be automatically used instead of a 10 step process to MOVE an app. Could it be worse? Ya, if the phone blew up! Samsung probable NOT my next choice. It is only useful as a child's basic phone. save your money and buy a better phone.

      This phone Def is a starter phone for a 11 yr old! The 8gbs isn't enough,I purchased a 64gb card and it will not let me make it the default memory! Camera isnt good pixel strength! But on a,good note ( lol) its,a cheap phone to purchase as you save for the iphone7!! Good luck!!

          The galaxy on5 is crap. The camera stinks on the metropcs version, over half the advertised 8gb internal storage, on this one, is taken up by system memory, which you can't view or interact with. I have deleted, uninstalled, or turned off everything but essentials that I could and with 0 self-installed applications I still don't have room to install a system cleaner that's 400mb in size, so what exactly is that 4gb of system memory composed of? I hate hidden crap. Also, this my warranty replacement as every time I hit the up arrow to input a capital letter the keyboard frezes for up to 15 seconds them as often as not the keyboard simply disappears and I have to start over, it has done this as many as 4 times consecutively, the same issue I had with this phones predecessor. This phone is crap.

                          This phone is pretty crappy. I have too many connection problems with my YouTube app. It's so needy for storage (8GB).

                          Pathetic phone, trade it in for something else.
