Extremely satisfied.
I basically travel for a living. I've been on the front edge of High tech in semiconductor for around 31 years. I'm always looking for a way to get some of my time back, do things faster/simpler, etc. My customers are Samsung/Intel/ etch, basically every chipmaker on the planet. I can say this. At this price point and features, and assuming the reliability stays strong, I will NEVER change phones (well, never say never in tech :)) Pro's - FAST. Loaded nova Launcher all my travel stuff, maps. Absolutely the fastest phone I've worked with, though granted I only made it up to the Note 4....but this thing smokes. - Screen. For any price point. Unbelievable. The 4k screen and clarity with G-Glass 3, simply amazing for this price point. - Fingerprint. I will never go back. Encrypted the phone, password locked it then trained 4 fingers. The position of the sensor and the speed to unlock.... absolutely wonderful - Camera - Not a big camera buff, but for casual photo's very nice for 24mp. Shouldn't rely on my inputs here as I'm mostly business focus'd - Dual Sim - ATT/T-Mobile for me (work/personal). Zero issues. Hot spot, LTE.... good across the board. I realize there is a band missing, but I can VPN into my home, watch 4gb MKV videos with no lag. No issues for me. - Good olé fashioned service. Comes with case view flip cover. Comes with Gel Case alternative. Comes with screen protector. Comes with micro USB to full USB adapter, decent headphones and a nice high-amp charger. No one does this anymore. I was very pleasantly surprised. - Battery life. Better than my note 3, and note 4 by a factor of 2 at least and I don't even use battery saver. Considering the pixel ratio, nice. CONS - Only one I have is I can't get Lynch 2010 working for work. No button appears for server settings. (this can admittably be me and doing a bit of research, but I honestly haven't had the time to deal with it in the few days I've had the pone. Summary. I will never purchase a 400$+ phone ever again as long as a product like this stays active from a company here in the US. Considering my customers and tech available to me, I see no reason to spend more. Apple lovers, well, they have a nice product..... at twice the price. All the other phones out there in Android, well no complaints to other flagships, but I honestly couldn't tell you one advantage to go another direction. We shall see on the reliability. Satisfied customer and then some. (all the engineers on my service team now want one :). I might up the price a few bucks and barter it off if stock comes back :)
