Learn from my Experience: I activated this phone with Tracfone, and it immediately downloaded 1.54GB of bloatware, auto-installing apps, and transmitting unknown data. So, be sure to disable all "Manager" apps and "Verizon Services" prior to activation! Without attaining Root or installing a Firewall prior to Activation, this phone is a privacy nightmare! (I don't know if anyone has attained Root with this phone, so Buyer Beware until a solution is found, if ever.) A Word of Caution: I had both NetGuard and Orbot installed, however Orbot was running, so all that data was wasted because of Verizon's desire to spy on their customers. (Orbot only directs your chosen apps to the Tor Network, and allows all others unfettered access to your normal wifi or data connection; Terrible Design!). The screen resolution is 720 vertical, and it only plays 720p video reliably, 1080p drops frames to compensate for the lacking processor.
