" ... Even now, with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Apple 7 out, I compare my phone to my friends and really believe that features, speed, and performance-wise, I have the better deal by far. ... The Samsung S4 was a great, reliable phone. ... It shipped with Marshmallow. ... The Marshmallow build was good enough for me. ... I do prefer Android and I liked that the ZTE Axon 7 did not ship with all the bloatware found on Samsung products. ... "
" ... If you do want a beautiful phone, great photos, and Android features at a reasonable price then I give this phone 4 stars. ... "
" ... This is a good phone with a great picture, but I have had a little trouble adapting to an Android from an iPhone. ... "
" ... Just got the August 1 Security updates (8/31) and various fixes and enhancements. ... "
" ... Best phone ever, runs Android 7.0 nougat and rivals phones twice the cost. ... "
" ... great android phone. ... "
" ... Although I don't use social media to put the phone works in other layers i cannot comment more about the phone, great prince for and good phone ... "

" ... The screen quality is strong, the audio is amazing (definitely the stand-out feature of this phone), I have had no connection problems, good starting storage, great compatibility with Android, very little bloatware pre-installed, and the ability to play pretty much any mobile game at maxed settings with no lag. ... "
" ... amazing screen (one of the few with QHD currently). ... "
" ... 4- Beautiful screen (2560x1440, 538ppi) with Gorilla Glass 4 ... "
" ... Large sharp display. ... "
" ... Amazing sound and screen. ... "
" ... The other major benefit just now being emulated by other major brand phones is the way the screen maximizes the overall build. ... "
" ... Battery life is really, sound is amazing, screen to body ratio is ideal, and it's just nice to look at. ... "

" ... I have been using this phone not even 2 months yet. ... It already started having problems. ... "
" ... Unfortunately this didn't work either and problem kept recurring. ... "
" ... Almost a year has gone by and the phone is starting to malfunction from time to time. ... "
" ... Had the phone for half a year before it started to act up. ... Update: Total of 1.5 year of ownership the phone just randomly shut off for no reason. ... I don't see this phone lasting for another year. ... "
" ... **update** After half the screen stopped working I turned off the phone for several hours and when I turned it back on the problem was resolved. ... I have had this phone since January (it is now March) and half of my screen just stopped working. ... Figures that it would stop working shortly after the service window closes. ... "
" ... EDIT: 6 months after the purchase my the right half of the screen just stopped working. ... While I understand why they need to place a hold, it's absurd for me to be stuck with no money due to an error on their side! ... "
" ... Awesome phone but whole phone hS many failures after 2 months. ... Power button keeps sticking, microphone stopped working. ... "

The look of this phone is unrivaled by any on the market in my opinion. ... but I purchased a protective case - AND I WILL NOT USE IT - AS IT IS NOT QUALITY ENOUGH TO WRAP AROUND A PHONE THIS STYLISH AND AWESOME IN APPEARANCE. ... The clear case that comes with the phone doesn't detract from the appearance, and so I am using that for right now. ... "
" ... Phone looks spectacular. ... "
" ... I loved the looks of the Zenfone 3 but it was also the biggest phone and price ($499) of the bunch and I thought 5.5 was and is plenty big. ... "

" ... And finally is the hepatic buttons are the bottom. ... "
" ... The one flaw, although I have figured it out, is if you want to go main menu or back, the buttons on the bottom are not lit and if it is dark, one has to memorize where the buttons should be. ... "
" ... The entire left side of the screen is completely useless (shows static), and the capacitative buttons have never worked on this one (had to download the softkeys app to even get on screen ones - the mipop won't stay on screen like it's supposed to). ... "
" ... Lastly the placement of buttons mainly the power button makes the phone difficult to handle. ... I have learned to handle it but is virtually impossible to hand it to someone without them pressing the power button and losing the screen. ... The back button and the home button are slightly geared towards the middle which is understandable however they are not back lit and they do take some time getting used to but has been odd, since they are not back lit and I'm giving the phone to someone and I'm sure she is gonna use markers and nail-polish to mark them. ... "
" ... some of my downloaded songs do not play all the way through. ... "
" ... First the power button won't respond. ... I heard the phone rang and could not answer because I could not turn on the power button. ... "
" ... Only other thing I found super odd was no lighting for navigation buttons at bottom of phone. ... "
" ... The soft key buttons on the bottom cannot be seen in the dark, you'll accidentally hit home when you intended to hit back and vice versa. ... "

" ... Don't fall for the decent hardware- the software makes this phone unusable. ... "
" ... I called the corporate support in the US and they placed a $80 charge in case the phone is damaged/watered and about $430 hold to send the old phone back. ... "
" ... It's way too hard to grip without a case (which it comes with). ... So maybe avoid if you are like me and dislike cases. ... "
" ... The connector simply would not plug in firmly but instead, it had a very loose fit. ... "
" ... Bought this to replace the same make and model phone my daughter returned because of defects. ... "
