    I really like this phone. The only issue is you can't add extra storage.

    I have had iPhone's for the past 6-7 years and finally had enough with the poor performance of late. I definitely "upgraded" by buying this phone. It still has a few quirks and I'm still getting used to it, but it blows the iPhone out of the water. I'm still amazed by the picture quality too. The screen is crystal clear. Definitely a good purchase.

    This was the best purchase I could have made, I don't usually get the top of the line phones but when it came time to needing a new one this definitely was the one for me...it has all the bells and whistles and not to .mention the quality and price.

    It was very easy to upload all the old files to this phone. The power saving option works very well. I would definitely recommend this phone over anything I previously owned. (2 Samsungs, an LG, a Motorola and others).

    After comparing many of the top cell phones, my teenager chose this phone. She is exceptionally happy with her choice. When asked what her favorite feature of the phone is, she said ALL the features are amazing.

    I had mostly iPhone. Then I switched to android system with LG G3. Hated it. Seemed clunky. I like this phone though and I'm used to the android system now, this phone is easy to navigate.

    Many Freeze ups, I'm sure it's all software related because the sound quality is pretty good and Photo Quality is Amazing. I got this phone for all of it's extra rugged features but I find the "Active" button to be misplaced and annoying... It's only good for when the screen is off. Now I need to bring it in and have everything transferred over to a new device and get this thing refurbished to become someone else's problem...
