I am using this phone from 3 months and here are my experience with this phone.
I was shifting from high-end Windows Phone - Lumia 920 to Android and thought i’ll play it safe to grow used to the OS.
The phone has been a real delight use.
The screen is great, I know as per specs you’ll have better ones for this price range in the market but trust Samsung on this one.
Its great.
PROs:
1) Great Aluminium body. Gold looks fabulous
2) Great front and back camera. The front camera is especially good( 5MP)
3) I am an average user and with a proper Antivirus software and RAM Cleaning( Paid software) I have been able to get around 32hrs battery life.
4) The sound drivers for headphones are some of the best in the market. It ensures a great music experience.
5) Even though its not an Android Lollipop - the OS has the updated touchwiz and it gives you most of the Lollipop features including Ulta Battery saving mode.
Cons:
1) Poor speaker positioning. Its right on the back so it causes problem when the phone is on a soft surface.
2) The Body is too good to be kept on it on, you will need a case for it.
3) The Samsung call enhancing features only includes - Volume increase for this model.
4) Battery is inbuilt, wasn’t a problem for me -coming from a Lumia 920. But for an Android phone it freaks some people out. As the OS is supposed to be less stable than a Windows Phone.
-
Overall just go for it. It gets heads turning, definitely looks more superior than its pricing.
Its one of the first models of a Premium Samsung brand strategy, so it will keep you in the game for over 2yrs.
The price is unbeatable. Lollipop is coming soon.
