Avoid this phone like a plague. While the phone is great while it works and so is the camera, I constantly have issues with dropped calls and incoming calls going straight to voice mail … I didn't believe the reviews about bad reception and still bought it and now I am outside of the return window

The description clearly says "Unlocked". What reviews are you referring to?

Considering the item shows no carrier, is it locked to some mystery carrier??

Right there on the Target site where this is purchased. In the reviews a couple say that they did not receive an unlocked from verified purchasers.

Example:
Not Unlocked

Would not recommend

AJ - 9 days ago, Verified purchaser

This is not the unlocked version. I spent two days without service. After speaking with my carrier, and google, both of them informed me that Target is not selling the unlocked version of this phone. This absolutely should not be sold/marketed as "unlocked"

How does this phone compare to iphone se 2 in terms of multitasking/speediness?

As much as I want to trade this phone in, none of this happened to me and I'm a bicycle messenger so I use this phone all over San Francisco, CA.

I recommend trying Mint Mobile, it's only $15a month and great reception UNLESS you're getting poor reception from T-Mobile.

I have Mint. It's great when it works and absolutely frustrating when it doesn't. Had AT&T for probably 15 years before switching. A couple times a year with Mint there are periods where I'll miss calls and I'll neither get a missed call notification or even voicemail if they leave one. Never had this issue with AT&T. While the price for Mint is great and I plan on staying on it. Those few weeks to a month a year where it seems to turn to garbage are absolutely frustrating. Recently they were doing a software update to the towers nearby and WiFi calling which I need for having anything near reliable signal for calls in and out was on and off for about a month. Zero compensation or anything from Mint for the hassle of being unable to use my service as expected during that time period.

Considering all the issues this phone is plagued with, I suspect the prices will keep dropping just to get rid of inventory
