Good phone

Phone owned for - more than a year

It's a good phone very stylish and slim to hold with metal body and feels so rich while holding. But was not that worth the money that time. Features are high end features that is 1.6ghz Snap dragon processor with 2gb RAM but too much lag.

The phone is good at all. Metal frame, good cameras, fast and slim. The software is easy to use. The battery drains very fast with always turned on 4G Mobile data. Some videos are not supported. six colours to choose. I have got it from 2015. Good price 750 BGN (~350 EUR)

Not good option

Camera is good for specially 13MP+ camera from Samsung are awesome. Reasons for good camera is they have enabled beauty mode default specially for selfie.
Another good options are in market. I do not recommend to buy this phone. Too expensive launch. Too late update for lollipop and that was frustrating to almost all users. Never expect from Samsung latest update of software.
