I love these features (in no particular order): the quadcore processor, great screen, MIMO WiFi, SD card, removable battery, waterproof, KitKat, 16 GB camera, size and battery life.
Only dislike is the 16 GB of memory the device comes with and the restrictions on moving apps to the SD drive. And that is not a huge deal, it just depends on what you are trying to store on the internal drive.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, quadcore processor, mimo wifi, sd card, removable battery, waterproof, kitkat, 16 gb rear camera, battery
Cons: 16 gb internal memory
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Phone

Pros: To me the phone is nice and has a good feel and visual appearance. I like the visual display fonts size and modifications you can make. Really a good job on that. Plays videos very well. and the Kies PC software you get with this is great. I like the fact the phone is water resistant and dust resistant.
The camera seems to offer a lot techie features if you are interested in stuff like that so...this may be the phone for you. Not a big deal for me. As far as bloatware, I really don't see much of it except from the wireless provider and a few from Samsung. But check it out for yourself.
Cons: I don't think a heart rate monitor is a big deal. The volume rocker button and I/O switch are an annoyance. Right in position while your talk on the phone or hold it..jeez... that is not what I call ergonomic. I prefer buttons on the bottom. I don't see the need for a one hand operation which is an option. Not what I would call a long battery life but then my last phone was Droid Razr HD. Microphone on the back?..odd guess it works though.

I just think that there are a lot of glitches and that they could have kept some services the same. .it's kinda difficult to figure out fully. Well the features and what not. I do however enjoy my phone and do not regret the purchase. I enjoy android much better than apple anyway, Google play market is the best.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, great camera
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE
Only thing that upset me was the fact that they changed the charger to the phone, it's no longer universal to all other smartphones which i think is pretty annoying..
