The camera is what really excited me about this phone because I felt that I would be able to take fantastic photos when I go off to college in a few months. Aside from that I'd say that the best feature of this phone is its aluminum build. It reminds me of my old HTC ONE M7 which I fell in love with because of how premium the phone felt in the hand another thing I really like is the new update to android, Marshmellow, it makes the battery life fantastic and I like the idea of not letting app have access to everything. I also like the speed of the phone. As someone who uses an old phone, I am always prone to lag. I hate missing that perfect moment and critical message simply because my phone couldn't load it in time. It would be great being able to go off to college not having to worry about that.
