I have had the phone for a month and am still learning all the cool things it has to offer. The AI is finally starting to show some intelligence and it is very nice. How functional I am not sure yet because some of the functions went backwards. Example for using Google Assistant; I used to ask for some functions that would perform with the phone locked and now it demands that I unlock the phone. I guess that is a security thing, but I did turn off the AI assistant and went back to basic to get things done more easily. Like when I asked to open the garage door.... I had to provide the PIN each time anyway, so why do I have to unlock. Function of the phone I am very happy with. I do like that my AI lock screen picture changes to match the conditions outside; it shows rain, sunshine or darkness to indicate what is going on outside.
This phone does not hold its charge it dies half way through the day you must charge it constantly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
