mldanger's review of the Samsung Galaxy Avant
original version, submitted Dec 10, 2015, 11:31 AM:
Good buy for the features, some compromises
Previously had a Galaxy S4 that I liked, but when switching to T-Mobile, wanted something nearly as functional but without the $600+ flagship price. This was it, and it fit the bill for just over a year now. Lately though, system is feeling sluggish and battery not lasting a full day between charges. Favorite feature has been call quality & coverage with T-Mobile Band 12-- my indoor calls are reliable, while my wife's iPhone 6 (without Band 12) is not. PROS: -Price -Uses all T-Mobile LTE bands -Nearly as functional as its pricier relatives CONS: -Phone operation stalls during automatic app updates/downloads -My unit has history of re-starting itself for no apparent reason -I've had to restart more frequently to clear system "stalls"
