On what platform?

Likely Android and IOS.

The Amazon reviews suggest that it's a really terrible phone. (It's also worth noting that in many cases most of the cost of owning a smartphone isn't in the nominal price of the device but in what you pay for network service. If you buy that smartphone, how much more do you have to pay to make it actually connect to the internet?)
