A02s phone----great device and great price
This is a great phone especially for those who use the prepaid option with Verizon. I upgraded my father's phone to this and he loves it! Also, this is a Samsung A02s phone and not the regular A02. Keep that in mind when ordering a case for it.

    BUYER BEWARE
    DO NOT BUY PLEASE DO NOT BUY...This has got to be the worst phone i have ever owned, SLOWER THEN CHILLED MOLASSES. If i could give it zero stars i would. My old J3 was twice the phone this pile of junk is...13mp camera is a total lie, More like 3mp, takes forever to send or receive any files or photo's. Get over a mile from the cell tower and you might get 1 bar...No wonder this pile of trash is always on sale....BUYER BEWARE.

    Only get if you already have Verizon prepaid.
    It's a nice phone and better than the A01. I ended using it as a emergency car phone in my glove box. I was trying to get the phone unlocked so I can use it on my carrier that uses Verizon towers. It took about 3 hrs tossed and around from person to person to find out it could not work. I even lost service because the first representative said it would help the unlocking process. The last representative said that I agreed to it so I can not get the service back. I also do not like that Verizon prepaid holds the phone hostage until you pay for the first month. That means you can not test the phone out on wifi. I was going to return the phone but the Walmart app said I could not. The only good thing about Verizon prepaid is if a natural Disaster happens they give a free month of service in that area. So now it just emergency phone that can also call 911 because of the voice over lte is happening now.

    Can't use with wifi
    Cant use the phone unless you activate a $40 plan cannot use with wifi. I bought the phones for my kids it's disappointing the description doesn't explain this

    Does not work with WiFi alone, has to have a plan!
    Will not work with WiFi unless you add a plan to it, bought two of these for my kids on Black Friday (40$) so they could play on em using my WiFi, on the top of box it says will not work with WiFi until activated with Verizon, you literally can't leave the welcome screen unless you activate a plan, I didn't see it anywhere in the description and also Walmart doesn't do returns after 8pm because apparently covid is worse after 8pm smfh, big waste of time and money, disappointing

    I purchased this on the Black Friday deal I paid the 40$ activation but now it's just loading and keeps saying error that they can't activate the phone but they already have my money and currently calling support just listening to hold music I have a feeling it's about to get returned and my money back!!!!!!!

    Don't bother buying this if you're planning on using it for a tablet for the kids. they have it locked down to the point that you've got to buy a $35 plan to activate it before you'll ever use it!

    Bad packaging!
    The phone looks great but the FEDEX BOX it came in was COMPLETELY SOAKED due to the storm. The actual inside box was NOT PACKED IN plastic or anything. Disappointed .I HOPE IT STILL WORKS. But the speed from when I ordered it then received was great!

    don't waste your time
    this phone was half way decent for the price the first day after getting it set up. then the android update absolutely destroyed it. texts don't send if you close the app and it doesn't let you know. takes 3 minutes for texts to update new ones or show what you send. just awful.

    NO EASY MODE FOR SENIORS
    NO EASY MODE. NO EASY MODE. Purchased for a senior as her first smartphone. I've had to find workarounds for this missing feature. I am a bit annoyed that I had to discover this deficit. My A51 has the Easy Mode option. It is a really stupid design failure and was my main reason for buying a Samsung.

    Buyer Beware!
    What I dislike is that I ordered this phone less than 2 mo. ago and after an automatic update on 06/29/2021, I can't make or receive calls or messages. My sim and network is no longer recognized. Also just found out that I can't return the phone for a refund or replacement to Walmart because the cut off time for refund was 06/15/2021. Google search revealed that this particular phone does indeed tend to have glitches after updates....will definitely be following up with corporate about this.
