   I Am Pleasently Surprised…
   So, I’m an IT guy and one of the special services I offer my clients (as a courtesy) who are concerned about Privacy and EMF toxicity with cell phones, is replacement Unlocked AT&T compatible phones that work on Consumer Cellular (AT&T) that I custom config for elevated privacy and reduced EMFs. This really is more of a fun thing I like to do for my long term clients whom I’m also fond of.The beauty of AOSP is that it is basically the Open Source side of Android development that any Phone Maker or Carrier can custom configure for their purposes which lean, in some cases, pretty heavily towards personal Data Collection, by running many things in the background which cause most cell phone to constantly be active thereby oft running hot and emitting constant EMF (microwave) frequencies, reducing battery life, reducing their lifespan and well, in essence frying us a little bit to hear it told.So the beauty of AOSP based cell phones is that many of the Apps that otherwise run in the background, can be disabled for the most part, leaving only Apps that each user needs and thus lowering EMFs, reducing temperature, increasing battery life and duty as well increasing phone lifespan. Ok enough tech talk…Enter the NUU A25. This is a lovely phone with good specs, a beautiful screen and priced at what I think makes it one of the best dollar values for a phone of this caliber to be had here in the States at $150.NUU states that the phone will NOT work on Consumer Cellular but where I abide, Consumer Cellular is on the AT&T network and so my test NUU A25 works beautifully without an issue I can find. The phone instantly and perfectly activated the moment I powered the phone back on after installing the SIM card!I personally loved AOSP Android 10 due to it’s simplicity, configurability, beauty and ease of use etc > fast forward to today and the latest Android OS’ have so many silly waste of time things as well a big reduction in Beauty and attractiveness in the Interface but this NUU A25 with Android 13 is Lovely! Crisp icons, visuals are excellent and then add to this the AMOLED screen and you’ve a wonderful phone that is most enjoyable to use for the most part. NUU even thru in some attractive theme options that add to the improved use and attractiveness of the device. Also fixed up the phone with what looks like an excellent camera with lots of configuration options and pretty high resolution!I know this is a sticky topic but in my area, most people are NOT in favor of 5G, feeling that it does not serve the spread out nature of the area as well is considered quite toxic in terms of EMF and personal health. I can’t site an studies around this but because my clients are concerned, I am also concerned and the NUU A25 appears to be a 4G phone without ability with 5G and I noticed when working on the phone that my hand does Not ache the way it does when I have to work on a 5G phone.Overall, I am very pleased and consider this one of the best Phone values at $150 there is and encourage you all to give it a try, remembering that there are a lot of carrier issues everywhere so your experience might Not be as good as mine so please consider NOT diss NUU if this happens to you. Fact is cell phone makers can only accommodate so many carriers in each device.And NUU, you all did a great job on this phone, well done but please keep the price so it stays one of the best values there is and please keep making these and offering them on Amazon with Android13!

   Bought this for gaming, love it.
   I got tired of my daily driver, a Pixel 6a, being crammed full everytime I updated PubG and CoD. I saw this and decided to take a chance and it paid off immediately. As long as you care about keeping the highest frame rate, it’s competitively responsive.My Pixel 6a Google Tensor hardware has it outmatched in picture quality, but the Nuu A25 has twice the framerate (60 fps vs 120 fps). The touchscreen on the A25 is more accurate and responsive than the Pixel 6a’s weird touchscreen.Because of this, games are just fun now. The frustrating days of a small screen and questionable touch sensitivity are behind me as I can give my Pixel 6a a break.I was also very pleased to see the clear case in the box and noticed that it came with the screen protector factory installed. I wish all manufacturers did that because I detest how prone screen protectors are to trapped bubbles and show dust/lint despite fastidious pre-cleaning.I haven’t bothered to put a sim card in. I use it on wifi or mobile hotspot.My only complaint is that there is no stereo sound output from the phone itself. It has a single speaker at the bottom edge of the phone, so I recommend headphones. It plays well with my Anker Soundcore earbuds so I’m satisfied with that. If I do decide to use the 3.5mm jack, I will just use a headphone preamp anyway.That being said, it does what I want it to do and meets my needs. It’s an impressive piece of kit at an excellent price. Five stars for the capabilities at the price point.I recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable mobile phone to scratch the gaming itch. You can’t find better at this price and it’s got enough hardware grunt where it counts in FPS type games.

   A lot to like, a few niggling faults
   The good: Battery life is good. Fairly heavy use gets through most of the day. Light use could go 2 – 3 days. Wifi and cellular connectivity is good. I got this when I gave up trying to fix my old phone, a Moto G Stylus 2022 4G. It kept disconnecting from my network and I sent it in for warrantee repair. The Nuu a25 has a much brighter and more vivid display than the moto G Stylus. The phone is also quite snappy, having a good responsiveness in most cases.What could be better: The touch input has had issues here and there. If I touch the power button to turn the display off and on again it fixes this issue. The fingerprint reader is iffy sometimes. And there have been a couple of times when I had to enter my pin due to too many attempts even though the phone was only in my shirt pocket and I wasn’t attempting anything. Then there is the speaker. It is certainly adequate but not as loud as the Moto G Stylus. Sometimes voices sound just a tad muffled.The verdict: This is, in my opinion, a better phone than similar offerings from Motorola in the same price range. Definitely a solid 4 stars. If the audio and input related issues where better this could be a 5 star phone all day everyday.Edit November 2024: turned off peak display and some app notifications and now my phone screen stays off in my pocket. The touch input issues have improved with use. And a third party app has helped with the weak audio. Still not quite a 5 star product, but it has remained trouble free, stable and reliable since purchased.

   Great phone at a great price
   Purchased this phone for my daughter. She loves it! It’s still early days yet, but she loaded up all her games and apps and still had lots of space left. Phone operates quite snappily, no lags or stutters.By the way it’s also a beautiful phone with a fantastic display
