Large screen and I use it mainly for texts, Google maps, and some emailing. Having a browser in there to look stuff up is a big plus. The camera is OK and comes in handy once in a while. Android 8- something or other.

Oh, and it makes phone calls.

Boost Mobile is 50 bucks a month with no contract, but there are cheaper plans out there.
