    Low-res screen, low-power SoC on a good node, decently sized battery. This thing must get a pretty good run time.

    If they end up on my preferred prepaid phone provider's website, I'll probably purchase one to replace an aged Alcatel Pixi Unite, though since my current phone's battery is accessible via an easily removed back panel and this phone seems to lack that capability, I'm hesitant. I've just popped in a second replacement battery and because the phone is doing fairly low-demand, everyday computing tasks, I can potentially squeeze a third year of operation out of it. Going into sealed battery phones puts me into an optimistic two year upgrade cadence and that means dropping more than $30 for the handset and $15 a year for a fresh battery which adds a lot of cost for marginally improved functionality over the cheapest bottom-feeder phones.
