                Even the best smartphones today can still be used for listening to music and FM radio. However, it is increasingly rare to find smartphones that still support FM radio and have removable batteries. I have replaced the battery three times, the home button once, and the power button flex cable once, as well as the earpiece speaker. It is very easy to replace these parts as they only require removing a few screws

                  The phone held up pretty good since i bought it in 2017. But in 2024 its pretty unusable. Maybe for just whatsapp but even that is not pleasant.

                                      Bought mine 7 years ago and still using it! No problems.
                                      Some apps do not run on its lower Android version though.
                                      I replaced the side power button two years ago.
                                      Overall, an excellent phone.
