You could have gotten this for $60 6 months ago from Metro, then store it in a drawer.
Then today you don't have to spend $200.
I did this. And actually it's a snappy phone. I don't have service on it but the kids use it for stuff. It's lasted their abuse so far. Idk if I'd pay more than $100 for it tho honestly.

i have this phone. others have said that the battery life is good, but thats not the experience i have had with it, the battery runs down really quickly. the other thing i dont like is that the screen on max brightness is not bright enough when outside. the phone takes ok photos, not great, but good enough. it comes with a thin plastic screen protector already installed. even though the processor is older, it is a snappy phone.

I like the camera and how snappy it is. Killapps shows hundreds of apps and processes running in background. I have't had a chance to debloat. Killapps doesn't really disable most background apps and processes permanently. I think it affects the battery life.
i hate this phone. i have both the cph2515 (single sim) and cph2513 (dual sim) versions. both have the same exact problems. maps apps (waze & google maps) keep crashing the phone, not just the apps themselves. i have done everything -- refresh cache, reinstall maps apps, update OS, reset factory. nothing worked.
i regret ever getting this phone to replace my reliable n20. the only thing i didn't like about the n20 was when using the n20 in the dark and face unlock and fingerprint are enabled, it will use face unlock first and keep retrying until it times out -- which is long time. but other than that, the n20 is a whole lot better than this crap n30.
Really? I use waze, google, and other gps tracking apps daily. No issues. I think n30 gps is more accurate than my thinkphone and s10. I compared.
Do u use maps apps offline or online?

Not a very good phone. Great specs on paper but not in actuality. Watch some YouTube reviews for further proof. The Pixel is a much better purchase in a similar price range.
I'm using this phone right now from the $50 best buy deal. Not using my iphone pro right now.
I like it. Expandable storage is really good (512gb card) along with gcam being much better than I thought. Plus, none of that damn Samsung bloat. Great battery life. No complaints.
Day time good light photos are good with stock cam app. Gcam is better in low light but i have to hold the phone still for 30-60 sec depending on amount of light. It's not fun. I don't take pics in very low light.

thanks for checking. i'm using waze and google maps online for actual navigation. as i'm driving, it crashes intermittently and i have to miss turns as it reboots. maybe, it's only my units that are facing this crappy behavior. but i never faced this issue on previous phones.
