Had phone since 2015. Works great to this day in 2022. Still on origanol battery. Very well built and easy to use. Sadly with LTE service now a requirement this phone will no longer function. Why doesn't T-Moblie support Kyoceras new phones? Or...

Mine lasted just over 4 years before having to change it as there's no custom roms for it and many apps can't install/update on Android 4.3. Just sold it for $105 CDN. A really good device, just stuck forever on Android 4.3, so sad really.

I've had this phone for 18+ months and it takes tons of abuse without a cover. The case is all scratched up from dropping it onto concrete at 15 mph TWICE but the screen is fine and it still works. I wash it in the sink under running water too.
