Phone is actually an insane value for the money. If you are looking for a cheap smartphone that has the power to get the job done, this is it. I was actually pretty shocked by how smooth the phone runs basic apps and by its ability to play some simple-moderate graphic games. Phone came with little to no bloat apps pre installed. Calls, texts, and data all worked with Sim swap perfect for me. However if you are reading this to consider the potential issues you may face, I have them for you....The camera quality is pretty terrible. I've had a bunch of smartphones and this one is challenged in that area. Photo quality is generally blurry, struggles greatly in anything but perfect lighting, and it just looks potato like.The speakers are sort of weak and not very loud if you are trying to call in busy environments often. I struggle to hear people on the highway in my car on speakerphone. The speakers on mine also have issues only about a month in. They make a static sound every once in awhile that's a bit strange sounding. It happens when I plug in earbuds also so I assume its something physically wrong haha. (Bluetooth earbuds solve issue, its also not a deal breaker)Display smoothness is only good when the device is set to 90htz adaptive refresh rate. This is also not a super big deal to just leave the phone in the faster display refresh rate... But it does cause battery drain. When the phone is in 60htz it just feels extremely laggy and cheap.Launcher is kinda basic and doesn't allow for much customization, I highly recommend switching the launcher to something else. (If you like to lock your android phone or wake it with taps on the home screen, its in the accessibility settings for wake and a different launcher can allow the locking feature.Colors of display are a bit washed out, I put the display into full warmth instead of cool... And also turned on a little bit of night lighting to warm the screen to a more average looking color setup.Battery life is ok but could be just a hair better in my opinion. (I still get great battery life, its just not a 2 day phone for moderate to heavier users.)Bluetooth in the car (at least in my car) didn't work with hands free calling. I had to just disable calling over Bluetooth and use the phones speakerphone instead to make it work out.There has been moments when I get some strange glitches or issues but it almost never freezes or anything super major. *** For example: one time I was using an app, went back into the app after being on the home screen and the whole app was just a completely black screen. I then swipped out of the app and then went back to it for a second time and it displayed everything fine and normal. Its little silly stuff like that once in awhile. But its nothing I have felt "ruins" anything.Overall this about all the cons I struggled with and I still enjoy the phone thus my positive stars. I do feel its a serious value to usefulness ration. I plan on keeping the phone and using it for at least a year or 2.I purchased this device on sale for 74.99 USD. The value, the gaming, the battery, the modern version of andriod, the non-bloat filled OS, and the semi smooth experience... Is already enough to make this a good deal. I really like what HMD is doing with their devices.I would highly recommend this device.Don't forget to also check out HMDs more powerful devices like the HMD fusion (which is super unique) and the HMD skyline if your in the market for something a bit more premium and luxury.Have a great day! Happy shopping.

The HMD Vibe is an absolutely amazing deal for just $100. For the price, the performance was fantastic, smooth and responsive, delivering a solid experience overall. The camera, while functional, definitely doesn’t offer great quality, but that’s to be expected at this price point. It does the job in a pinch, but don’t expect top-tier visuals. Otherwise, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for something budget-friendly without compromising too much on performance.

Got it for work just to utilize the camera. It takes horrible photos, constantly blurry no matter how many different ways and modes I've tried.Screen is not bright enough to work outside with. Had hoped this would be a great buy only to have to return it used and worthless.

better than I expected for the price I paid , but after having it for a few months the screen cracked after a drop of 2 ft. I have never cracked a screen in years of having cell phones.

At the Black Friday sale price of just around USD70, I purchased two of these phones and thus far, I am quite pleased.Performance is very good. The structural build is sturdy. And the phone meets my daily usage needs.The camera is not great, but it is functional. For better quality images, I can use my Nokia 8.3.In summary, the HMD Vibe is excellent value for me.Thank you HMD (and Amazon): much appreciated!

The battery lasts longer than my old IPhone. Literally the only complaint I have after switching to this device from an iphone is the camera quality.You will need to get a microSD card for extra storage, too.Also- if switching from an iPhone, you will have to order a SIM card from your phone carrier because iPhones have an eSIM instead of a physical one.Setup is super easy.I was also able to connect a Samsung Galaxy 6 watch with my device too.

Camera not so good, but for a phone that only cost me $130 bucks- who cares?...

My phone works well just don't take good pictures
