The battery barely charges,I thought they were revised mobiles and in perfect working order,but they should say that the battery barely works and I would not have bought it,or at least not at that price,because if the battery does not work well,you can tell me what good is the mobile.

The packaging is a bit flimsy (just bubble wrap in a cardboard envelope), and the phone looks fine on the outside, but after a few days of use it's a bit slow. But it should do the job as my teenager's first phone.
