Made me leave the iPhone
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: Mark991

Expertise:Expert
After 7 years on an iPhone, this one made me switch. It's lighter, smaller and has a much better display. Did I mention it's also fast? Build quality is solid and it feels like it's honed from a solid block of metal but with no real weight. Everything seems to be much better than my outgoing iPhone except the finger print sensor and it's probably just not being used to the finger swipe vs. the iPhone's finger place interface.
The only thing I'm missing from other Android phones out there is an IR port. Everything else is bullets.
Battery life: Good, not great. It's on par with the iPhone 5s Battery life in hours
Display: Great! I thought the pixel density was going to be a problem. It's not.
On-screen keyboard: Much better than the iPhone or other, older androids that I've used over the years.
Charging: Fast! You can go from 1/2 to full in 45 minutes with the included charger.
Speaker: Good, not great. It's no beats but it's a solid sound.
Wireless / Bluetooth: Great! It's fast to connect and holds a connection to wireless. Cellular is solid as well. Bluetooth is quick and stable to ear pieces and watches.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I prefer Samsung products. I have had an S2, a Note 2 and I have a Galaxy Tab 3...they have always surpassed my expectations. Excellent products, well worth the money. I have had less expensive products and I always go back to Samsung.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

First Smart Phone Alpha
on May 10, 2015
Posted by: bwimi

Expertise:Beginner
Excellent phone but haven't' mastered it yet. Asks too many times for me to update things and programs that I have no interest in, haven't figured out how to turn that part of it off. Definitely a good purchase
I would recommend this to a friend!
