I have a Galaxy S6 Active, and work iphone 5s. I had contemplated selling my S6 Active. Prior to that I was a Windows Mobile/Phone user for years. Had a bad experience and jumped ship. Thought I'd see how the platform has matured app wise since I gave up. Initial impressions is that this is a lot of phone for $39.99 hardware wise. Snapdragon 400 and 1 GB of RAM isn't great but it sips on the large removable battery. Screen is better than my 5s, camera isn't that good at all but once again $39.99. It is running Windows Phone 8.1 update 2. I'm not going to do Windows 10 Mobile for a while and let them work out the bugs. Apps that are missing that I use on a regular basis are fishbrain, amazon music, Dishanywhere, and a working Waze app. I've found a substitute to Waze I believe. I can also "preload" music from youtube through metrotrube or use Mix Radio. A lot of apps that weren't there when I last used the phone are there now. Life360 family locator, Slotomania. Overall I am impressed with what I got for the price, and was surprised that some of the apps have started to show up. I doubt most of the ones I mentioned will ever come though. This would be a good replacement for someone running a Lumia 520 like my dad.
