After using this phone for a couple months, I love it!
It only has a few things that, in my opinion, could be improved upon.
It is rugged, loud, stable, and has a beautiful display.
My phone has taken a few minor tumbles and the only damage it has sustained is I cracked the screen protector I added on. If your current phone fails to notify you in loud situations, the volume on this phone is a little insane, but in a good way, you will hear it in a loud environment! I have had no crashes or freeze ups aside from auto rotate which I will cover later. The camera is amazing and easy to get just the look you want. The battery is awesome, I usually get between a week to 12 days depending on how much I'm using it, which on average is a few hours every day. The cellular side of the phone is top notch, haven't had any issues with dropped calls or lack of signal (depending on your carriers coverage, I'm rocking T-mobile).
I have played a few games, and the phone didn't get extremely hot. Granted, I'm not playing COD or anything, but BTD6 runs great, even with friends! And on that note, an active stylus works amazing!
The only complaints I have are minor.
The "battery usage" graph is accessible if you search for it, but there is no link in the battery menu, and it doesn't continually monitor the battery usage. If you could add that in an update or something, that would be amazing!
The power and volume buttons could be moved up the side a bit more or bring the power button flush, I keep clicking the power button when I'm trying to put it in my pocket or just moving it around as the power button is dead center on the side of the phone and protrudes a little.
The back button, in 3 button navigation, triggers my OCD because the stem of the arrow isn't centered. Might be a design thing, I don't know, just not my taste.
And finally, as mentioned above, the auto rotate. About 10% of the time, the phone will not rotate to full screen. Not sure whats going on, but simply closing the app and re-opening gets auto rotate to work most of the time. Once I had to restart the phone to get it to work again.
Over all, I gave a 99.9% because it is an amazing phone with lots of features. I would recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for an unlocked phone and plans on using it for years.
