I upgraded to this from a Razr phone. I love the edge feature. I can easily see key items that interest me without turning the screen on. There is some bloatware but you can easily turn it off which is nice. The battery is decent. I can typically go 24+ hours without a charge. One neat thing is the Samsung fitness app. It has a built in pedometer. The one bad thing with the design is how slippery the phone can be. You really need a case so it doesn't slip out of your hand and fall. The screen is very bright and crystal clear. I love the picture quality.
