The Onetouch Idol™ 3 Smartphone is incredible in every sense of the word! It boasts a 13MP camera with a Sony IMX-sensor that enables one to crop, edit, and share pictures in outstanding clarity and award-winning dual front-facing JBL audio speakers. The sound quality is phenomenal, deterring the need of an additional Bluetooth speaker.
The display has also been specially tuned by Technicolor, giving colors on the full HD screen more richness and vibrancy, and better viewing in sunlight conditions. The sound is so crisp and clear that it is almost good as being at a live performance – you just don’t get to see your favorite musician up close and personal! Another thing that I like about this phone is that you can easily swap out the SIM card of an existing phone, including an iPhone, without losing your contacts and other personal information. Originally $279.99, the Onetouch Idol™ 3 Smartphone’s affordability ($249.99) is incomparable, especially when it comes to its quality!
The Idol 3 is truly a flagship style smartphone featured with unique enhancements like the fully reversible user interface that makes the screen adaptive to be right side up, even if the phone itself is upside down.

What a great phone with so many features. I like the long lasting battery, because I tend to forget to charge mine. These features make life so much easier to enjoy life #LiveUnlocked.
This sounds really good. I have an old phone with which I can make and receive phone calls and texts (remember using the number keypad to text? HELLO is 444-33-555-555-666. AND my phone does not have an option for voice-mail. (It will tell me that I missed a call, and show the number, but you cannot leave a message.) My friends are bugging me to please get with the times! This would definitely help me to Live Unlocked.
