YOUR NOT JUST BUYING A PHONE!
Phone owned for less than a month

I really regret not looking at reviews when buying this phone. Not only does it take forever to charge, I had to buy a new charger and new headphones due to the changes they made! Stores had run out of A15s, so I paid over $100 more for this ($399). I was upgrading from my OPPO phone which I now regret as the oppo a54 was a far superior phone apart from the camera.
