A high-end phone with a medium-end price
Phone owned for less than a year

If you are looking for a HIgh-end phone but do you want to pay the half, this is your phone. My phone is 9 months old and I'm really satisfied with it. The Asus Zen layer is not a problem, actually I think it is the best manufacturer layer I have seen. I changed to this phone from a Galaxy S3 Mini and the first day I used this one I realised how bad and horrible was the old one.
