I LOVE THIS PHONE. The big screen, camera, build quality and feature set are excellent. It puts others to shame. Sounds might be a little cheesy and some users might have issues with AT&T's bloat ware on this otherwise fantastic phone. S Voice is also a bad alternative to Siri, Dragon or google now, but it works.

This phone is pretty good. Battery life sucks but you can get a extended battery life case so that was resolved. Reception was awesome but at some places it sucks. All in all pretty awesome. Crappy back cover too.
