I didn't have high expectations for this phone given the price and some of the specifications, but it has turned out to be a bit of a surprise packet. I originally purchased it for a 1st phone for my Granddaughter but since using it I have purchased a second one for myself. To me it does most of the things I use a phone for well. Phone reception, speaker & microphone are all good, the camera is actually quite pleasing at this price point and I am happy with the image quality. I use the Strava app for cycling & hiking and for the most part the gps plot is quite accurate. The display is certainly clear & bright enough in most circumstances, but not so great in bright sunshine. Probably it's major strength is its 'ruggedness' (it can take a beating!) and the fact it is waterproof. With that in mind I think it is a good phone for kids.
