SAMSUNG Galaxy A14 4G LTE (128GB + 4GB) Unlocked Worldwide (Only T-Mobile/Mint/Metro USA Market) 6.6" 50MP Triple Camera + (15W Wall Charger) (Black (SM-A145M/DS))

I dropped my phone in the toilet and couldn't dry it out. Since I had just purchased my phone from Metro in Oct 2023 for $350 I was kinda mad at myself for being so careless. I've never purchased a phone from Amazon but I went back to Metro and they wanted another $350. The girl there just said make sure it is compatible with Metro PCS. So that's what I did.I decided to stick with the Samsung Galaxy A14 since I knew the product and was happy with it. I ordered new phone from this vendor and thought "what do I have to lose?" Reviews were good for the vendor and it was returnable also it is new not refurbished. It arrived quickly in 2 days. Was a little confused because the SIM card holder had 2 slots and the expandable memory, but once I goggle it was very interesting why it had 2 slots. No big deal for me. I was able to transfer all data (cord to cord) and went online and transfered phone and SIM card ( not watered damaged) to new phone. All this was very easy and no extra charges for activation as long as you do it online. Viola, I've got a new operational phone without the high price.I highly recommend this vendor and any other purchases will be made from them without hesitation. Glad I found a reputable dealer at half the price. Thank you for having and selling what was advertised.

I have an ios smartphone 14 and like it quite a bit. But I also have many applications and electronic devices (most of which I think are made in the far east) which have the applications first designed for Android phones and then later for ios phones. So, I bought this phone, not to use it as a phone to make calls through a cellular provider, but just as a controller and home for my applications for many of my electronic equipment (cameras, telescopes, etc.). And, it has met my hopes perfectly. That is not to say that equipment I have doesn't also have an ios app developed for them. But, in one very disappointing experience, I purchased an astronomy camera prior to 2000 that had an app on the App Store. But due to the coronavirus there was a big drop off in sales and the company I purchased the camera from in Singapore seemed to stop paying for their app to remain active on Apple's app store. One day the app just stopped working. I am in a facebook group of people who have the same camera but use it with their android phone. The app to control this camera was still live on the google play store. When I got this camera, I downloaded the app and it works perfectly now with my camera. I guess the companies based in the far east just love android phones first and more. Just my thought. I could be wrong but have definitely had other devices apps drop off the app store.

I've used this for a while, and while a lot better than a cheaper phone I've had for years, this does a lot better, as long as your willing to give it 15-20 minutes from the time you hit the power button. I've seen it turning on take 10 or so minutes, but that might be because of an update, or something else, however once powered on and on the home screen, it will be slow for a little bit once you log in due to loading all the background stuff. Nothing too surprising, but still annoying, especially when my phone is off more than it's on...millennials and some of gen Z have no idea what I just said at the end.

Thanks! Great phone.

Nice looking phone

I bought this as a 2nd phone specifically to use with my Lyft App. The screen is bigger than my I-phone and the clarity is good. I'm not familiar with Android apps but I've begun using some and appreciate them. I've had absolutely no issues with the phone in about a year of use and do recommend it for android users. In my case, I was able to buy it on Amazon at a reasonable price and that's a big plus!

Me and my wife both bought this phone 2 years ago, and it's deteriorating rapidly for both of us. It started out as a decent phone, it was slower than I would have liked (and I don't buy high-dollar phones. Me and my wife stick to budget phones). However, over the past couple years it has slowed down astonishingly quickly; it has moments where it freezes up for a few seconds trying to load up a simple application like google. Battery life has been fine, but as of today my wife's phone quit working altogether. While it looks like a good budget option from the outside, I can't recommend it due to its very short span of life.

Screen goes black when talking on the phone.Memory capacity is higher than my old phone.
