I bought this phone for its big luminous display and compactness, and am very pleased.There are some drawbacks nicely detailed in the extensive review immediately below, so I won't go into them here, except to mention the slider difficulty (next paragraph). But overall, if you want an attractive phone that is compact and light but with a big, friendly display, you aren't likely to be disappointed.I find the slider infinitely more easy that a flip phone, and tossed my moto V3 flip phone in favor of this one. But the slider is difficult to use, and you'll have to develop a technique to open it that suits you. Quite simply, there is more resistance to the slider than one expects.I've seen people use two hands, which is a bit ridiculous (but of course, many people use two hands for flip phones). Personally, I plant my thumb right on the screen, pinch the phone, and make a snapping motion like snapping your fingers. That works well, but takes practice. I don't mean to turn you off to the phone, but DO be aware that it takes getting used to.Very important to me is this phone's compactness. I'm a guy, so it's got to fit easily in my pocket and not weigh me down, and this phone fits the bill nicely, even better than the moto V3.That's my two cents!
