Questions

[MinchanH]

I have a few questions on this phone because I am planning to get this phone.

1) How is the quality of the android 6.0? (I live in Canada)
2) Since the speakers are on the back, when you are holding it vertically, don't you cover it with your hand? And even if you're holding it horizontally by watching a video or something, is the quality bad?

Thanks!

1) It's on par with 5.x. There aren't many new features that you'll see...most of the work is behind the scenes. I've noticed little difference in performance.

2) The way the phone is designed I find my hand naturally creates a reflective surface for the sound. I won't comment on quality as I couldn't care less about quality in a phone speaker....I just want to comfortably hear if need be. And the phone does fine there.

I agree with the above — my hand actually tends to form a cup around the speaker area while holding the phone, so the sound gets reflected back to you. It's perfectly fine for what it does, but I always have a Bluetooth speaker attached to it while listening to music or podcasts — built-in speakers can't touch the sound quality of a dedicated speaker.
