I was looking for something to replace my old Xperia Z Ultra. By chance, I found out the P8max. Sincerely I bought it with lots of doubts: build quality, global performance, UI,... after 6months: lot of good surprises, just hope having CM13, NFC and 0.2 extra inches on it to be perfect.
I like big phones - this one you can't fit to your pocket. It's more like pad than a phone. My previous phone is Mate 7 compared his size to my new P8 Max - Mate 7 looks like his little brother. For me this smartphone is almost perfect.
I just sticked it up to my head, but this thing is top notch size because it fits up to my head, and I can replace my Nexus 7 tablet by this because it had about the same screen size, but only .2 in. smaller, and it is the biggest phone ever and it is a non pocket guy.
