But I have to say, I am blown away. easy to set up, easy to use, fast, powerful, packed with great apps and features. I even had to set up software that interacts with Outlook, and provides security for my insurance business, and it was easy!!! I switched from a Note II that I loved, but this phone is great!! I also bought a refurbished one and you would NEVER know it!!! Speaker is amazing, synced with Bluetooth headset, and speaker in 2 seconds.
Battery life is terrible 5 months later, and you can'take blame it on not charging ONLY when the battery is dead... because the battery... Is... ALWAYS DEAD. (5 hours of use)
That said, I bought a large external battery since this one doesn't let you remove and swap batteries (BOOOO) and this is now a null issue.
Other than that, solid phone... wish it was waterproof, but am satisfied with it compared to my old s3 and the garbage they call iphones.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, syncs to my tv, great daytime photo quality, easy to use, not an iphone
Only 3 stars because the battery life is horrible. I dont get it, why design a phone with such poor battery life especially if you cant remove it and have a second battery for backup. Maybe Samsung should talk to Elon Musk to get it right.
