Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wanted to give this 5 stars because the phone itself is outstanding... But there is one big drawback for me. Pros: - Awesome 720p screen. The colors are vibrant and the blacks are very dark. Awesome. - Great call quality. I am coming from the LG Optimus F3, and people say I sound amazing now and they can clearly understand me. - Boom Sound. The main reason I bought this phone. I HATED having to cup my hand behind my phone or tablet so I could barely hear it. This thing... So awesome. I can hear it clearly over 2 23 inch fans and a 10,000 BTU air conditioning unit that's within 3 feet of my bed. Such an awesome feature, I don't know why every company doesn't do this. - LTE. This is not the same thing as the 4G on the F3. This is blazing fast. 36Mbps+. - No stuttering once I changed runtime to ART under dev options. Blazing fast, handles everything I've thrown at it. - So much more to day but I am lazy. If you have any questions feel free to post here and ask, I'll be happy to answer! Cons: There is only one con. And it'd very annoying. All the benchmarks for this phone claim the battery is awesome and will last a full day. One States: 12 hours plus of 50% screen brightness Google Chrome Web surfing. 7.5 hours of 75% screen brightness Netflix streaming. As I have tested it. This is not the case as I have experienced. I don't have Skype, messenger etc. Installed, or any apps that run in the background really. I don't use widgets, I use only one homescreen page with a few apps on it. And I only have the screen at 50% brightness. With just Chrome running and browsing around on Google searches, Facebook, forums etc. I will drain about 14-17% of the battery in 40 minutes. This is on wifi, with data disabled. With Netflix going, after an one hour show I have drained 23-28% of the battery. This is at 50% brightness on wifi as well. When it's asleep with wifi still on the battery doesn't budge. I left it on on my bedside table at 41% slept for 9 hours, woke up had a slew of Gmail, texts, etc. And the battery was still at 41%. So the standby battery life is great. For some reason when you look at the battery stats it says time without a signal 100%.. But I always have a few bars. So I don't know what is up with that. I really wish I could figure out why I am not getting the same battery life as the benchmarks. Cause that is my only gripe with this phone. I would still recommend this even with the subpar battery life in my case, cause the phone is just awesome.
