By the time I got one, they were several years old, so I expected slow. It was fine after debloating, but obviously people can't be expected to do that. Agree on the sound, also the camera was Not Great, even for the time.
Even brand new it was pokey. I got my mom the GPE which was basically just debloated from the factory but it still took AGES to boot up. I think it legit takes 5 minutes to boot.
Over 1.5 minutes just to get to the android is starting screen. 103 apps total it took over 13 minutes to boot (I didn't want to wait and left for lunch). In the app drawer there were 9 apps. Android 4.4 that didn't do that was bearable, but it was only really good for the most basic of tasks, Android 5.1 made things worse, but not that much (ignoring boot).
