Pretty basic, straightforward phone. If you're gonna use it for social networks such as Instagram and WhatsApp, it will work. Do not expect fancy features or unreal speeds. If your budget allows it, go for the A56 instead.

It means you can use it with any carrier.

For your purposes any cheap phone should do.

Just kidding, any phone will work for your purposes. I have an iPhone 6 Plus, and it's still working well. It's slow because it only has 1GB of memory, but if it has 2GB, everything will function flawlessly.

Windows phone had a swift performance with 512 MB of RAM, while Android phone was just okay with 1 GB in 2013; I miss Windows phone.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to test it out because it was discontinued when I was considering purchasing a Windows phone.

But I don't think it was Microsoft's fault. My brother tested it, and he mentioned that, if the apps are available at all, they receive updates much later than those for iOS and Android. So, the developers of the apps are to blame.

MS did not pay enough effort to communicate with app developers and find a middle ground; IOS phones market share is lower than Android phones, yet they get the full attention of developers.

We prefer use Android for lower price, not for the sake of tiny eyes of Android logo
