Is this phone good as a daily driver?

No. It suits calls, messages and light apps. A full-size budget phone is better for social media, maps and video.

Does it work with my carrier?

It is sold unlocked, so it takes a standard SIM. Check that your carrier supports the phone's network bands before buying.

How much storage do I get?

16GB of internal storage, with 2GB of RAM. Part of the storage is used by the system, so you have less free for apps.

Can I use it for photos and video?

It has a basic camera. It is fine for quick snapshots but not a substitute for a normal phone camera.

Is it a good first phone for a child?

It can work for calls and messages, but the small screen and slow apps may frustrate older kids.

Our take on the Mini phone Unlocked Mini Smartphone

The SHBOTO Mini Smartphone is an unlocked Android phone built around a 3-inch IPS touchscreen, with a quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. It is meant as a tiny backup or travel phone rather than a daily driver. Against full-size budget phones it wins on pocketability but loses badly on screen size, battery and storage. Owners of mini phones like this one typically praise the size and criticize slow performance and short battery life.
