Is so beautiful I won't even put a cover on it ,gotten comments on ,,what phone s that?,, ,Camera has ood clear pictures but they tend to be a bit too perfect skin tone is an issue,been using it for a month now in various temperatures and it functions perfectly Everytime ,just one design flaw where the charger port is the edges are sharp and tend to scratch whatever finger you have there mostly the pinky lol ,so smooth out the edges,performance is good it doesn't hang graphics are smooth,battery life is a decent 12hrs of hard use,at it's price point this is a really good phone.

This has to be one of the best phones I have ever bought. Camera is great. The speed is awesome. The screen is crisp and clear. The sound is loud. And best of all, the fingerprint scanner is the fastest I have ever used. I added a wallet case to it with a circular cutout and they both work perfectly together. The circular cutout shows information such as time, calendar, flash light switch and music controls without having to turn the phone on.

This phone was bought for my wife. It has all the features that she wanted. Everything is good as we expected. The Android works smoothly, and the memory size is big enough for her to run FB and Line.

I bought this for my dad who was looking for a middle price range cellphone. First of all it is a good looking phone, it doesn't feel cheap at all. The display was awesome, great image quality and colors. The performance of the phone was average, in my opinion it was pretty great for that price but do not expect it to run as a galaxy s7 or flagship phones.
The problems started when he began to use the camera, great camera, fast autofocus and the quality of the photos are great but it takes up to 3-5 seconds to load your gallery or take another picture, sometime it even freezes.
The deal breaker was the audio when you connect your headphones or an auxiliar cable to hear it in your car or any other speaker. The sound quality was absolutely horrible! Just like hearing and old radio. We ended up buying a Moto g4 plus on sale.

This phone is great! Camera takes amazing shots, fingerprint sensor is very snappy, screen is gorgeous, touch works great, and it looks beautiful. What else can anybody ask for? And I disagree with the comments about bloatware. These are some ASUS apps which can easily be disabled, but I ended up not doing it for about half of them because they are actually pretty useful.

First of all, I had an excellent buying experience at BestBuy because when the phone arrived it was missing ASUS ZenEar (an earphone) and BestBuy replaced it with an equivalent one which is better.
It's been a little over a month of use and I have not seen any functional issues at all. Although, I removed the Google messenger and replaced it with the ASUS messenger because the Google messenger is not customizable. From my daily use, this phone is better than the iPhone 7 plus as follows:
1) Cannot change the background color of Text Messaging in iPhone 7 plus, but this phone you can.
2) The iPhone 7 plus does not have FM receiver, but this phone has.
3) When taking pictures using iPhone 7 plus, it will not allow you to embed the date on the picture, but this phone you can.
4) This phone has microSD slot, but iPhone does not have.
5) The built-in calculator in the iPhone 7 plus is ugly and it's not worth paying $800+.
6) This phone can do panoramic selfie at 8 Megapixel, but the iPhone 7 plus cannot do it.
I used this phone in T-Mobile network and I have not seen any issues at my place. If you're not using the Apple Pay feature, then this is the phone. For battery life, new phones normally they lasted long within two days, but as time goes by, say one year later, then you will observe some degradation.
Speaking of bloatware as some reviews pointed out, the iPhone has bloatwares too and why the iPhone users don't complain about them? Anyway, I started looking at and using the bloatwares, and it turned out that I liked them and I don't see them annoying at all.

I bought this phone for my son to use it with Tmobile. The quality finish is excellent. Phone signal is the same as my iPhone 7. Camera is very impressive and processor speed is very good as well. No issues with battery, my son is using it all the time like any other teenager and it does last him almost the whole day.

This was a good phone at first. Worked great until it upgraded to Nougat. Now the thing is lousy. Constant lags, phone freezes all the time and when I have to restart the phone all my setting change back to the default. Battery life is terrible and camera is almost always useless. Takes terrible pictures. If you want to get the most out of your money your better off buying a Samsung or Apple

Crazy and oversensitive touch screen

I have had the phone for 3+ months now and would not recommend it. The first phone I received (as well as the replacement phone) is overly sensitive to touch; I've had issues from the very moment I received and activated the phone. The screen goes crazy even when my fingers are not touching it. It's very frustrating when I am trying to make a phone call, search the web, or use apps. The phone also overheats and stops functioning as a result; never had this issue with my previous basic phone. The camera quality is okay but not what I expected. The design of the phone and the case is nice but that's the only plus.
