Although I've had a computer since 1999, and an Android tablet for quite a few years - it's the only way to set up Alexa on the Smart Speaker! Self-taught, computers didn't really exist when I was at school except for punch cards, so I'm pleased that I stick with the technology and have linked the phone, the tablet and the laptop. I'm impressed with the camera, but I shall never give up my digital cameras. What I don't understand and can't change is that the settings show that I'm in the UAE when I'm in the UK, and can't see how to change it. Swiping is still a bit of a concept as not everything goes the same way, but I've downloaded apps and now run Sonos and Spotify through it, amongst others.
I recommended this product.

Simple to use and I like the fact that there are numbers on the same screen as letters. Battery seems to last well (at the moment). Only down side for me ( i wear glasses for reading) the battery life indication is very small. Seems a step up from my last Android mobile phone, whose manufacturer I won't mention here!

My first ever smartphone and I like so much of it. But there are so many things to dig down into it can be a bit overwhelming. Watching lots of YouTube videos to learn from others at present. Might be competent in another 12 months!
