Is it any faster? Battery any better?

The phone I have been using was manufactured November 17th and to be honest I wasn't experiencing heat issues or any issues with it being slow. I was having random freezes during the short time I was using the HUB but I disabled it and had no issues since. I see that they referenced addressing some freezing issues in the notes but I haven't turned on the HUB to see. I can tell you that low light view is much better. I'll see if I can take a pic though I wouldn't have a previous to compare it to but trust me it's evident just looking through the view compared to what it was before.

I had terrible battery life and the camera delay was about 5 seconds to process the photo with no SD card installed. Low light was OK just tricky to get the flash to work.

This is a low light pic I just took outside right now in the evening. It's a shadowy corner and the priv did a lot better than it would have before in this same type of scenario. I doubt I would have seen anything more than shadow pre update. I didn't use flash

One thing about BlackBerry : you can expect os updates to address things like battery life. I know they have less control over the android os on the Priv than they did with bb10, but I'm hoping that the battery life will improve a bit with their updates. As it is, it's not too bad. I can get through a day easily. It's not the 2+ days I used to get on my Passport, but i cannot really complain at the moment.

Just received a new priv from amazon and hopefully it will perform better than the AT&T one I returned already battery issue seems to be better but camera hasn't changed much. Downloading update now will see what the improvements are.

The camera is shocking compared to the Passport. I think the iPhone 6 camera is better and that's saying some something

I firmly believe that Apple has the best camera to date it might tie with the s6 camera. The camera on the Priv needs some updates to make it a camera that could compare to the top cameras out there.

I got rid of my Priv. Sold it on Swappa. I was tired of dealing with the terrible cameras and a physical keyboard I never used.

I'm back on my S6 Active and it's like night and day between this and the Priv. I'm glad to be back on a phone with awesome battery life and awesome cameras.
