    Excellent Phone For The Price

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my son so he could watch YouTube and play games. So far it’s been great and I thought it may struggle with gaming but it handles it just fine. The build quality is excellent and the screen is extremely clear and bright. I would definitely buy another A series phone as they work so great.
