Not Worth the hype

Posted: Jan 29, 2017, 3:25 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

I will admit that this phone seems very attractive with its large display and up to date software (marshmallow) as well as the Samsung brand name BUT this device is not worth the hype at all. After about a week or so you will start to notice that the selfie camera (you know the one praised for its LED flash) is horrible! Even the rear camera is so-so. The screen itself, although AMOLED is only 720p and is not all that bright.

Phone owned for less than a month

I brought the phone last Saturday and I'm enjoying it very much .however there are other versions of this phone so let's hope metro gets some metal or alumnium phones because the plastic is better then glass but cheaper then metal hopefully in two weeks when I go to the arena I'll have some better pics to show off because pics in the dark look good but video quality is horrible but all in all good phone so far will be a while before I up grade again and hope this phone get the next os right away
