This was my first smartphone. It sucked camera quality was the worst. It stopped working because the charging port would not charge it. I got a free replacement and it still got that problem. It was free so not the worst.

    I agree with all these other people, this phone sucks. I haven't even had it a week and it freezes all throughout the day and people don't get my texts or calls half the time and vice versa. They should take it off the market and give everyone a refund

      Piece of crap, I have arthritis in my fingers so when this phone goes to sleep holding the buttons till it decides to wake up is not going to be happening anymore!

        Had it less than a month and have had nothing but problems. Keeps locking and makes it impossible for get to phone to answer or call out. Huge piece of junk. When I can,it is going back to the store or in the trash. Not worth the headaches.

          I think it's a great phone for the money. It has all the features I want.. Takes descent pics... Allows me to face chat... Social media... Email.. And play games.

                  This device is the biggest piece of junk I have ever had. I think I hate this device the most because the specs were quite impressive and it turned out to under deliver on just about all of them. Specs on the packaging are fancy advertisement and that's about it. The camera is LOUSY. If you sit it down too hard the battery pops out and it restarts. The touch screen is on a couple Ms delay requiring an abnormally long touch for EVERYTHING. Which makes texting more of a pain for sure.

                  So for the real specs:
                  1. LOUSY camera

                  2. Sluggish touch screen makes it not very good for texting and below par for interfacing any other functions.

                  3. Poor construction means battery falls out at most in-opportune time forcing user to wait for loud ass restart, usually when in a situation when you are trying to be in-conspicuous or polite (like at work, school, or church maybe)

                  4. More suitable as a drink coaster than a smartphone.

                  5. Helpful indicator to people around you that you:
                  a. make poor decisions in life and cannot be trusted
                  (or)
                  b. are a total cheapskate, maybe both.

                    This phone sucks I've had it for maybe a year as well as 2 other family members . The screen starts messing up. it starts off with the keyboard going away while your typing and then some parts of the screen don't work nor the home back or option buttons on bottom. Until nothing works anymore. The power button also gets hard and doesn't work sometimes. It also heats up and turns off when it wants. I could understand if this only happened to one of the phones but it happened to all 3. So mad.! >:/

                      I've purchased the ZTE sonata In Sept 2014. The external SD card keeps popping out of slot on it's own. I've lost numerous amounts Of data. Overall it's a good phone for the price.

                                    Pretty good phone for the price. The picture quality absolutely sucks though. The camera's flash is too bright...selfies become impossible and it adds pounds to your figure lol. Other than that, no complaints.

                                        In my opinion, You get some pretty fair bang for your buck. This is not a high end phone but if you have a tendency to go through phones like I do, its great. The only issue I've had is receiving texts from Iphone users if their Iphone text set-up is in the Imessage mode. They get my texts but I don't receive theirs. Other than that, you get a pretty fair phone for less than an extended warranty on an expensive phone.
