This was the only phone in stocK
Back up phone. The only thing I hate about it is can not make external storage default. Your space will get used up quickly . This feature needs to be changed .

Not Among The Best but Works
First, needs a DATA ON/OFF Button just like all other phones I have had. You know, similar to WiFi On/Off button on the drop down menu with the brightness adjustment? Second, some of the apps can be transferable to the SD Card like I have done before. Third, the Volume goes to like super quiet when you plug in an Auxiliary cord or wired headphones. And that is at MAX VOLUME!!! It needs improvements but like I said. It makes phone calls and like the basics phone camera, web browser. Texting. Lastly #4. Final thoughts. Like why connect to WiFi to continue? I obviously have Data that works just as perfect!

    Samsung Galaxy A01
    I needed a new phone because my old one was cracked and dying. I heard great things about straight talk and decided to try it out, and I love it. The phone is so lightweight and easy to use.

    I guess if you buy cheap you get cheap
    Had this phone 6 months and suddenly all it does is vibrate. I can't turn it off or nothing. Haven't dropped it I have it in a protective case as well. What a huge disappointment

    I bought this only because my phone was broken so bad and I needed a phone. I can't wait to get a different phone. It is always saying delete files after taking a few pictures. If you only need it for phone calls and text then it's perfect, but if you need it for more than that make sure you have a higher GB.

    Slow and crappy and no memory. Avoid pile Covid
    Bought this phone on the fly. I needed something quick and cheap to hold me over for a bit. I should have just avoided it. It shows 16GB internal storagw but comes with 13.8 already full. I literally have only 2 apps on my phone (both are for banking and my credit card) now combined only 360mb and about 450 mb in pictures not on a SD card and this thing is still maxed out 15.6 GB out of 16. Have factory reset because the internal storage shows only 6.5 GB for system memory. I uninstalled and disabled every single app I could on it that came preinstalled other than google maps and gmail as well. There are 2 notifications that say my phone is full and has too many files and is causing problems with apps running even though I dont have any.

    Great phone $$ during this pandemic!
    Bought this for my aunt! She lives in Oklahoma and I live in Texas, she lost her phone out of the blue and I immediately went to check if she had a Walmart and ordered this for pick up in her store! She mentions it's a nice and decent phone! It was so slow at first but after a few updates it was good to go!

    Love This Phone!
    I got this phone as a 2nd phone since my husband and I share a cell phone and I was going to be away a lot. It is perfect and does everything I need it to do. Yes it is basic, but as a 2nd phone for travel it is perfect. Calls, Texts, Emails, facebook, it does it all for me.

    Spend a little more $$$ for a better phone.
    After upgrading from another StraightTalk Samsung Galaxy knock-off phone THAT WORKED GREAT, this phone just got thrown across the room in disgust. Sound (mic and speakers) are sketchy. Alarm ringtones suddenly changed themselves around (which, because I use the alarm to wake up for work, can jeopardize my job). Integral memory keeps getting filled up with useless apps and files no matter how much I clear space, while the previous phone (that had the same amount of integral memory) did not have that problem using the same apps (used SmartSwitch to upgrade). I suggest you pay a little extra money (like I should have and probably will be doing shortly) to get the next Galaxy knock-off phone up the scale (A01 is the cheapest, A10 is about $40 more, and the A20 is about $140 more), considering the last phone I got was more in the $100 range. This phone is very much "you get what you pay for". It's cheap, all the way around.

    D.O.A.
    Um... guessing I got a dud by all the good reviews, but literally straight out of the box this phone had an error code on the screen. It wouldn't let me turn it off or budge from this screen. Plugged it in and waited overnight, but woke up to the 2nd picture. Bought it last night, it goes back today. I will give it another chance with an exchange and modify rating if it warrants.
