So for starters I would like to give you all some background of what I am coming from. I have used just about every flagship over the last 2 years ranging from the S7 edge, Moto X pure, LG G4, Galaxy Note 5, HTC m9, Nexus 6p, *ONE plus 2, iphone 6s and a few extras. So needless to say I have a good idea of what other phones are offering. Having said all of that I must add that this phone is something special. (I use a phone till I get bored with it and then buy a newish used one and sell the other).
I flat out love this phone and plan on keeping it till the note 6 comes out.* I know what you are all are thinking that is not very long. Well for me it is considering that the longest I have held a phone for is 1.5 months. I know I have major problems.
For starters this phone is getting a lot of un fair flack about the build quality. I love the feel in my hand and let’s be honest much like a good portion of the population I use a case and have found no flaw. (Poetic is by far the best on this phone).
Getting the battery out is not hard and I never feel like I am going to break it. On the topic of battery life I must say that I am very pleased with the overall performance. It is not GS7 edge good but better than the other phones I listed.* I know that some of you will disagree and I completely agree that this is based solely on my usage.* In full disclosure I always turn off location settings and I disabled the always on display because I have this paired to my pebble time.
Moving on to performance I have not had one hiccup in the nearly 3 weeks of ownership and have been nothing but pleased. When I initially set up the phone it did get pretty warn but It has not done that since.
The camera is amazing. I think it is the best one I have used. Again this is my opinion and other people will disagree.* The wide angle lens is really fun to play with. When I first got the phone I thought I would never use this feature but I find myself using it all the time and showing off the pictures. I have two kids and I have managed to get some pretty good shots of them running and jumping with no blur whatsoever.
Speaker is very loud. Not a whole lot of base but pretty darn good for a single firing speaking. I do miss the nexus 6p and moto x pure speakers but I am happy to trade these in for the removable battery.
*Moving on this main reason I love this phone so much is for the removable battery.* My job sometimes requires me to work 18 hour shifts and I very rarely have a chance to be near an outlet. This meant that I had to carry a battery pack with me and plug the phone in and use it with the cord hanging out.* We can all agree that while this method works it is kind of a pain in the butt.* I love being able to simply pop in a new battery and go from 5% to 100% in under a minute.** I also like the method in slamming the battery back into the phone. I did 5 years in the marines and it kind of reminds me of slamming a magazine into the rifle.
Well I hope this helped one person out there. I love the phone and I wish that it got some better press.**
