Okay, so let's get right down to the nitty-gritty specs and features of this phone. Forget for a second which manufacturer made this, relax, and just read the following:
What in the world is there not to love after reading that? I mean, as far as I can tell, the only spec BB could be said to have gimped would be the FFC. So the selfie-loving crowd would need to run far, far away from this device. Otherwise...damn, man, this phone is nice. It has practically anything a user could want. Once Marshmallow hits, bringing Doze and Adoptable Storage, this will be a BEAST.
It's a shame it's not getting much action in the forums here on AC. I'll have to head on back over to the Crackberry forums (and gently correct some of them in their ignorance of Android) in order to get any good discussions out of this, it seems.
- - A physical keyboard when you want it, none when you just want the shorter slab. 5.5 inches of beautiful screen right there.
- - The keyboard doubles as a trackpad which scrolls up, down, left, and right (swipe along the top of the keys). This allows you to see the entire screen without having your fingers all over it/in the way.
- - The keyboard doubles as a precise cursor selection tool while entering text (double tap the keys).
- - Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0
- - NFC
- - Wireless Charging (BOTH formats) for, at least so far, the AT&T version.
- - SD card slot, which will be fully integrated once Marshmallow is released for the Priv
- - Tap-to-wake from originally LG's line of devices (tap-to-sleep not available, however)
- - Two subtle curves to each side of the screen which look awesome
- - While charging, curved edge of the screen shows a green battery line and percentage indicator
- - The back of the device is grippy and soft; it doesn't slip out of your hand at all
- - The device is hefty and feels great in the hand all-around
- - The software is near-stock Android and added features that can simply remain unused if the user so wishes
