First, keep in mind that this is a layman’s review, not a hard-core user as a use case.
The Phone:
Unfortunately, I can’t touch the outside of this phone, but I think it is at least one of the less heavy ones.
I think the screen brightness, when maxed out, will stand up to outdoor sunny day use,
The OS:
As for the OS, it is comparable to the previous phone series, and as a lot of information has already been released, there are some useful additional features regarding widgets and wallpapers.
The least I can say is that the community has made this device much better than when I first received it.
The battery:
As for the battery, I can honestly only say that it is perfectly fine for everyday use.
I basically use phone(2), so I don’t know the details.
At least I didn’t run out of battery power after a full day of going outside and taking pictures all day long.
The camera:
As for the camera, how about attaching some pictures. (I’ve tried to have as up-to-date a version as possible, but forgive me if some are otherwise included)
I think this is a good category compared to other phones in the same price range.
However, while I know it is too unfair to compare it to the nearly $680 smartphone I usually use to take pictures, I didn’t think it was very good in terms of reflection around the light source when it comes to night shots.
I can’t go into much detail about the details of the photos, as other people are more knowledgeable, but quick shooting with a double click of the power button is also not that slow to start up and can be done with little stress.
