I have been using the sandstone white edition for a week now. It is easier to grip than metal. It does pick up smudges easily, but those can be wiped with a damp cloth. Loving the red alert slider. This version looks stunning in hand and feels premium. I would however recommend a case for longevity.
Face unlock is fast but doesn’t always work. It needs adequate lighting
Overall review

If camera is a priority, consider LG v30+
