" ... Fantastic phone, and an upgrade to Android 7 is a huge bonus to it. ... "

" ... I've never owned an Android device that could blow through the Antutu Benchmark Garden scene quite like this one. ... Android pay is fast on this thing. ... Despite all the energy optimizations made in Android, none of them seem to help as I notice myself plugging my phone in at least once more each day. ... If an uninformed user were to just pick this up and use it, they'd put it down and get an iPhone. ... "

" ... For the casual phone user (like me) who like apps who is not tooo crazy about phone tech ... "

" ... The OS is clean and bloat-free, there's plenty of space and memory, and it even runs on Android Nougat 7.0 on the newest update. ... "

" ... As soon as my 1st boot got the latest android nought update. ... Overall 10/10 for me as a long time apple user im satisfied. ... "

" ... Best Android phone ever never need ever had to run out of storage and the phone camera is one of the best. ... "

" ... I was a lifelong iPhone user that was itching for change and becoming more ingrained in the Google side of things. ... It runs a very pure version of android, which was I now know I prefer, because I decided to purchase a flagship galaxy S8 and honestly don't care for Samsung's version of android. ... "

" ... Fast data and even MMS message works out of the box. ... Highly recommend if you are like me and long to use a unique and stylish device that is rocket fast and updates to Android nougat. ... "

" ... i got this phone on december. ... "

" ... Had to change my review of this phone after 4 months and 2 factory resets, the phone keeps rebooting randomly which is bad, but i thought it was not a deal breaker, the deal breaker is that one of the times the random reboot doesnt let the phone completely start which makes it impossible to do anything with it unless you factory reset the phone and hope you synchronized all of your files to your clouds. ... "

" ... A little more than a month later, I received my new phone. ... "

" ... It doesn't power on after 4 months of usage. ... "
