Thoughts? I'm surprised they didn't mention having any light bleed problems on the left side by the SIM and microSD slots.
Well just one thing I will say that benchmark don't say anything how device behaves in real life !
I jst played mc5 and spiderman 2 and thor and I didnt notice a single lag and graphics were on par with my bro z2.
Only one major site has given such review so nothing much to worry about.

I think he is right on certain things, but on the other hand on his final conclusion he is not realistic.
The camera: yeah it is not as good as the high end phones of today, but it is a lot better then the phones that the mainstream buyers had.
CPU/GPU: CPU wise it performance at the same level as a snapdragon, or it comes close to it...
But that is in a benchmark, in real life and normal use you won't see the difference it all comes down to the software/launcher.
GPU is indeed a generation behind, it is clear as water.
Mainstream users or people that don't play a lot of games won't notice, and if they do play a game 80% is playing a 2D game to kill the time.
Hardcore gamers are indeed better of on a other phone if they plan to keep it for 2 years.
NAND that is a different story, I am not really familiar what that does with your performance in every day usage.
But the reviewer, and in other reviews to, stated that it not have a big impact of the normal usage.
So in the end, I think price wise it is a good deal for many people, the note 4 is in Holland a whopping 300 euro expensively than the mate 7

Wow, i just read the lengthy review of anandtech, and im quite surprised with all the neagatives the reviewer has mentioned -- CPU, GPU, NAND & battery life.
I was wondering if he was using an old and an unfinal version of the software in the mate 7. Although he answered that he was using the late october release, pretty much the latest one.
Bottom line is: as a regular user, i dont give a damn about benchmarks and measurements, as long as my actual experience with the device is awesome. And my experience with the mate 7 has been awesome!
didn't notice this topic already exists. placed order on amazon and now saw the review from Anandtech...:angel:

Don't worry this phone is amazing I guarantee !!!
And this phone runs all games easily including asphalt 8, modern combat 5, spider man 2, thor and real racing 3. I'm telling you this because I had played these games smoothly on my phone which is 16Gb variant. And battery life is amazing.

The AM7 is a well built and great performing phone, all tasks are executed well. The camera is far better than this review says, so is batterylife. Daily usage is what matters, not benchmarks and other measurement. They have sold more than 1 mill of this one and the majority of buyers will never know or register the cons mentioned by Anand.
Stupid Anandtech. I am very happy with my device. The best I ever had. My battery never lasted a whole day, rather half day. Now I am enjoying it up to sleep time, still have remaining juice. I don't expect my phone camera to be DSLR camera. The camera quality is sufficient for me.
BTW which phone is perfect in this bloody review? He didn't show many phones in these benchmarks. Why? He deliberately wanted to undermine this lovely phone. Because he knows that people like it. That's it.

actually.. I find it a valid point.. But I guess it is typical chine design
No seriously without some one bringing it up you will most likely not noticed it...
But for me it is a problem when I try to connect the usb charging cable at night in dark... cause usually I try to find the middle point but the usb port is slightly to the left...not a deal breaker... it still does look better then most devices..

ူlol .... ok bro i feel you now bro
This review is shocking.
The truth is the camera is so good on stable shot but not on moving objects. The camera also blows the iPhone 6 in close up shot. In a certain close distance, the iPhone 6 just cannot get a focus but the Mate 7 manages to capture the object with great details. Not to mention the excellent pictures in day light environment, which is no worse than Samsung's 2014 S5 (best in the day light capturing league). In low light, this phone even beats the S5.
The drawback might be when it is used to capture moving objects, because it does not have OIS.
Anyway the camera on the mate 7 is among the best flagships and I am only satisfied on it!
Second is the battery life. In wifi, the phone can have 8 to 10 hours screen on time on my use (mainly on browser, social apps, occasionally light games)! I am not kidding. Please get an equivalent phone with "more efficient" hardware packed like the snapdragon in front of me to compete!
I am a previous Nexus 5 owner. The only problem or step back I feel on this upgrade is the UI speed feeling. But I cannot complain as I came from the fastest phone in the world. However even in this field the Mate 7 still performs acceptable. (fluent, but just no lighting fast like the N5 in ART)
I am very shocked they say this phone still not in the league of the best. Because there are no better options!
Note 4 - Close but a step back on battery life and TW UI
Nexus 6 - Who dare say the camera on the N6 will be better than the Mate 7? Where is the micro SD?
iPhone 6+ - Kidding me but ask me to use a pretty much same size device but with a 5.5'' screen?
So I am sorry, there are no better options so far in the market!
thing is guys when people in these reviews knows that phone comes from china it auto goes negative.. bcos they think china makes crap phones.. they are used to it that it must be all top notch.. but when it comes to iphone sht then auto is everything tolerated bcause it is not from china..
it is just life .. peoples mentality... they do what they want to do.. how they likes it..not genuine way..
like iphone has only 1gb ram they say that is fine as iphone doesnt need it.. but when it comes to android and they wud see 1gb they wud go balistic.. oo only one gb
these guys own isheephones so.. their verdict will be always negative..

Hi guys,
I currently own a Galaxy Note N7000, but am planning an upgrade. To the Note 2. Yay!
My Note gets really hot when playing games like Arcane Legends, especially if I plug in the charger (of course). Some times, it gets so hot that the top side of the screen burns my thumb!!! And that even when playing Arcane Legends alone, not charging at the same time!
I wanna know. Are there people who have owned the original Note and switched to the Note 2? If yes... those are the people I want to talk to. They know best how to compare the two.
Never had the N7000 but I can tell you that the N7100 never gets that hot. A little warm yes, hot no.

I wouldn't say it gets too hot, but if you play the right games it can get toasty. Not too shabby though. Any mobile device these days can get up there in temps. It is the nature of the beast. Getting smaller and more robust and trying to keep the temperature down is all part of the challenge. I wonder how well the a15/mod'ed a9's will run in the next year or two. Eager to see how well Samsung's exynos CPU pairs together with imagination technologies GPU. Exciting times for the android gamers as they might see more games and many of those ported from iOS or more time put into them. I really would like science to take advantage of our smartphone gpu's much like distributed networking on PC's.

I'm not gonna sit around and wait another year. I'll get the Note 2, as soon as I sell this Note. My alternatives are... the HTC One, which I doubt will shine development-wise, the Xperia Z which has poor speaker performance and cr*ppy screen and the S4, which will also suck development-wise.
Yeah, definetly not gonna sit around to wait for the A15-powered devices.
I hate my Note right now for the following :
- poor battery performance (despite its 2500 mAh battery)
- screen sucks so bad (plus, black clipping)
- overheating like hell
At least the first two are better on the Note 2 . Enough for me to upgrade.

I am sure that the HTC One will get great dev development seeing as how that codeworx is getting the device, as for S4, it should also get great development as it is going to be a very popular device and most of the S4's are going to be Qualcomm not Exynos.

I had the Note 1 and now have the Note 2 and they are 2 different phones. The cpu on the Note 2 is much more powerfull and battery friendly than the one on the GN1. Temperatures are very good and haven`t experienced any heat issues. Switching over to the GN2 will only bring you advantages.

Oh yeah. At least the Qualcomm variant will definetly receive some love. Too bad Krait 300 is Cortex-A9, not Cortex-A15. But it's powerful enough. Way powerful than the cores in the Note 1, that's for sure.
*reconsidering options*
Won't have enough money for neither the One nor the S4. So, it's gonna be the Note 2. It's a powerful enough little tiny beast, anyway

Thank you for your input.
Battery life and power is exactly why I was considering the Note 2. Otherwise I could go for the S3, which has the same ammount of RAM (not really good for long term) and pretty much the same battery life as my Note. Not really worth paying 150 extra bucks for that... Better pay 200 extra bucks for a Note 2 :silly:
The screen is also an important factor for which I am considering the Note 2 over the S3. Screw pentile. RGB for the win!
Also, I know the Note 2 comes with a 2 amp charger. That's awesome! I will be able to play AND charge at the same time :silly:

How is that related to what is being discussed here?
Well, i had an n7100 which is on my mothers hands right now and i switched to the n7100.
The note 2 NEVER gets hot, like ever.. compared to the note1 which does get considerably hot when gaming.
Rest assured that you wont burn your thumb ever again with newer generation phones. Also, battery life on n7100 is brutal.

I did join the Note 2 club last week
I have to admit I was tempted to go for the cold metal beauty of the One, but delayed deliveries to Polish carriers took that option away. And wasn't that impressed by the Z. Not regret it much. That large screen is just beautifull. Who needs FullHD when it's already so sharp and amazing. Seems to be the perfect size too. Well, put it in a case and it gets too big for me. But having the extra screen estate over the lesser phones really is great!
Was initially put off by the horrible look of TouchWiz (have been using CM on my Galaxy S for a long time), but after customizing it a bit (inspired by coldfustion YouTube videos), I'm pretty happy with the results. I now mostly only see the ugliness of TouchWiz during calls and sometimes in the dialer (when it appears from a system call, rather then is brought up manually). Guess I'll proably eventually get rid of that too with a custom ROM, but I'm not in a hurry.
Coming from Galaxy S, I can really appreciate the GPS speed and accuracy. The volume of the loudspeaker is also very nice, even if clarity is nothing to write home about. Browsing and reading/writing e-mails is a real pleasure on this beast!
It does get a bit warm during gaming sessions, but it doesn't seem very hot and I hope its nothing that can cause an actual burn!
The smoothness is not that amazing too me though. I guess partially because I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it always reloads the wallpaper during switching landscape/portrait mode. The default lockscreen was laggy as hell too (tried various fixes suggested here). But I turned that off and am now using the lockscreen from Go Launcher Ex, which is much faster (well, actually that and some icon packs are the only functionalities of that launcher I use... otherwise it's way too laggy, especially compared with Nova). But I'm sure the speed can easily be fixed with a custom ROM.
Just wish I could scale the keyboard down, cause it wastes too much screen estate (using Swype). And Multiwindow... the menus take way too much space... it should scale the content down as well, because as things are, very little actual content is displayed in each window.
^ A little off topic, but just wanted to say that all your wishes can be fulfilled with a rooted stock rom and simplistic and or xposed frameworks, including theming and dpi change, when you're ready for it

Figured I would write a quick review of this awesome tablet since I have seen many questions on XDA but no review.
Build quality: build quality as a whole is brilliant, it only creaks if you apply a lot of pressure to the device, and if you I like to squeeze your devices then you may have personal issues , this tablet is not for someone who likes beautiful pretty tablets, the design is for someone who likes build quality that screams power and has a very aggressive design.
Display: the display is not the best we all seem to have realised that, but its good enough and there is much worse out their. The colours seem washed out a lot but one positive (with mine anyway) is the white colour, its REALLY pure white, no yellowish hue or blue.
Camera: both are not good, front is unusable and back is OK but lacks detail. ALOT. Still can't find where the slow motion feature is.
Performance wise: this tablet is blazing fast, its the fastest tablet I have owned hands down, and I have has the nexus 7 2013 and Toshiba excite pro which also had a tegra 4 processor. Lag is non existent and apps open up faster than my galaxy S4.
benchmarks:
Geekbench multi core: 2503
Antutu: 35090
Stylus: I have had every single galaxy note device and the stylus on the tegra note is much more accurate and responsive, with the galaxy note the on screen cursor always lagged a couple millimetres behind the pen, but this tegra note is much more accurate, would of looked much better though if screen was Full HD.
Battery: battery life has been OK, I am currently on KitKat and I get the same screen on time as I do in heavy usage as I do on my S4, which is between 5 - 6 hours. Its enough for me but may not be for some. I always use it on the balance settings with low brightness, sync off and WiFi always on.
Software: KitKat update has been OK for me, I don't have a SD card inside so don't experience the issues with the SD writing. Its stock android and is buttery smooth.
My rating: 9\10
I love this tablet after all, probably would give it a 7.5 if it wasn't so cheap (got mine for £140)
Any sensible questions are welcome. Will be doing a video review on my YouTube channel soon.

At 213 DPI, is somewhere just above the acceptable line, dead trigger 2 on high graphics and full brightness looks amazing, but kills the battery in under 2hours. So far from the best, but equally far from the worst possible, screen is fairly mediocre, but the extra power of the Tegra chip makes up for that with increased graphic fidelity.

It was decent but overall a bore you were drone like the ceiling lamp/fan was bad and even worse it become apparent you recorded a voice over once the camera showed your face in the tablet reflection which showed still lips but a voice coming out. Starting with a demonstration is great only a few can relay specs and have their viewers not fast forward what they already know. Overall as I said it was decent.

I'm fine with the way I gave/give advice except I missed a sum up just in case you didn't understand a/the paragraph.
-Drone like voice
-You tilted the device wrongly catching bad reflection
-Overall a bore but it was decent the bore comes from your voice and "default" spec talk
I said nothing about your equipment next time there won't be a next time the video was a snooze. As far as being a professional if it's a goal work at it there are a couple points already equipment is fine, your voice, constantly moving the tablet around, makes it a bit boring. Trusting equipment to catch you won't work I'd suggest you get the basics first. As far as nice I'm some where in the middle don't read to much into it either the effort is good or bad but with work you can become better.
Good luck.

The voice was due to my poor knowledge with how to put the voice OVER the video itself and a bad mic, yes I did tilt it and got bad reflection I agree, and yes my voice was like a "drone" as you say. And it was pretty dull I must admit.
All your points I mostly agree with. And thank you for your honesty, but there are ways to be more positive with giving advice that's all I am saying.
Maybe I am just a British stereotype who get's offended easily, if that's the case I do apologise!
Thanks for the review and also to Android insanity for posting up the helpful video, I have just sold my galaxy note 8" tablet and was either going to spend the money on a ps vita or this note 7.
A question, when you install games does it automatically default to highest quality graphics or do you have to tweak things to get them.

Yes, games automatically get set to highest graphics quality. I have played Riptide GP 2, Asphalt 8, Smash Hit, Real Boxing ( price dropped by 77%, I will buy it now!!!!! ) and all automatically get set to max graphics. Other games like Real Racing 3 automatically download the optimized data files for tegra 4.

( I would prefer to buy Note 7, it is new and has amazing stylus PLUS superb battery performance when playing HD movies over wifi - around 9 hrs. )
Hi guys, just wondering how many of you out there owned a iPhone 6 plus & then went to a note 4??

I have both.Acc to me iphone 6 plus is fast in opening apps,front cam is better.Games are smoother than in Note 4.But there's a lot of freedom in Note 4.Also Note 4 is way ahead in Multitasking.Sound in iphone with headphones is better with good bass & clarity.
But if you'll switch there will be no regret

Decisions are made by thinking what kind of life you have and what kind of guy you are, its very simple, if you like simplicity just stay with your iPhone, now if you are like me, a techy guys, first of all that's why I haven't own any apple products cuz you have to stick with what they offer that's all, like I was saying, myself, I like to play around, rooting, flashing roms, I like to have control of my phone, my cpu, my gpu, I like to overclock, under clock, overvolt, undervolt, I like the way I can make my phone software different from others, because I HAVE FULL CONTROL, I like my 32GB Note 4 plus my 128GB micro SD card, yes that's a hard drive, but I use it cuz im rooted and now I can record 4k videos for 30 minutes instead 5min stock, you have the idea??? i can go anywhere and plug my phone via usb and have access to my phone, i don't have to rely on apple software or any software to access my phone or transfer anything from any computer. Yes i know you guys can jailbreak but, its not even close, i work with several iphone users, i wish u can see their face admitting and showing me their iphone lagging, but lagging like really bad on the browser, u cant still access a lot of sites, no flash player support, damn if i keep going i wont let another user share their thoughts, well i hope you got my point, good luck bro if you ever jump to the Note 4 it will be a good experience, Android is open source, and that's what makes the difference, cheers:fingers-crossed:

that's stock vs stock, now bring me your iphone and lets play any song, like i said, after you root android its another world, after flashing Dr. Kertan sound mode on my Note 4 its definitely louder and better than my friends iphone, in everyway, also i don't have any problems playing any high end game on my Exynos Note 4. Also which Note did you compare the front camera? the 3.7MP wide lens on the front camera of the Note 4 is far way better than the one in the iphone, and im not talking because of the pixels, cheers:fingers-crossed:
I like the iPhone 6 plus for its simplicity os, better range of apps that seem more stable than android (although android is catching up). I love the iPhone's keyboard, And yes the music seems more loud & clearer on the iPhone. The battery on the 6+ is amazing. I like android because it's so open & your not limited like iOS. I'm also a tech guy & like to play about. It's like having a mini PC in your hand.

Oh boy! There we go. Another iOS vs Android war.
Anyways im just gonna contribute mine too. Y'all iPrisoners have no idea what you are missing until u get out of it. I used to be one myself until i crawled out of darkness. So I'd say dont just stick to people's opinions,buy it,try it and see for yourself.
IOS is simple from the beginning but the problem is if you already know all of it and you want to do more, you cannot do it on an iPhone. While on Android, it is not that complicated that you almost cannot use it from the start. But in time, it will get simpler. And if you already get used to it and you want to do more, you can do it on android. If you want more feature on Android, just install a third party app. While on IOS, you have to wait for a major upgrade to get few simple features. But still depends on your preferences.
If you're a heavy gamer, don't buy the Note 4. The gaming performance is great in Note 4 BUT after 20 mins the GPU underclocks and the game become laggy because it's overheating. I played intensive games in my sister's 6 Plus for 2 hours and the performance was still good.
Even though I have a Note 4 I would say keep the Iphone 6 plus, I had an iphone 6 and I miss quite a few thing about it, mostly the fluidness of ios 8.2 , I just couldn't deal with the poor battery life , the small and low res screen, but the Iphone 6 plus solves all of that, I would say wait for the note 5 maybe, the current touchwiz is quite ugly, we are still to get the new touchwiz found on the s6, lollipop 5.0.1 is slow , there's no permanent root, the bezels of the phone scratch like crazy, maybe wait a few months for thigs to settle , but I would say right now is not worth it ...

Nvidia Shield Tablet. But if you really want a phone, get the HTC One M8. It has a little slower and outdated hardware but more stable performance when playing games.

My father has it its small but awesome!
What do you think about moto x,z ultra(only if it had qhd.. I mean pixels are bigger than my face) g4 and nexus 6? I guess g3 lags!
I was going to buy shield when i unexpectedly received this gift :/ now i cant change phones for 2 years!(my fatger bought it)
Btw i was just playing nova 3 as test, not even the slightest lag, but its much less intense! I rrmebe whenni first bought it it didnt lag!
@yoniinfante
Im also a fan of Note 4 but you have to accept the truth that iphone 6+ is definitely better in front cam,there's no doubt about it.Also in terms of sound it is mind blowing out of the box & not by modding or rooting which voids the warranty.Gaming is also smooth in it,even playing for long durations.
I jumped ship. I had the iPhone 6 tough.
I do have a reason for the switch though and it stems from the bending issue.. I had my iphone 6 bend. even with the applecare + 2 year warranty, they laughed and told me I sat on it.
I've had every iPhone since they were released..
Went home, posted mine, my wife's iphones, 2 x apple tv and 2 ipads. All gone..
Apple is a garbage company.
The reason why it lags because the phone overheats. So if you know how to tweak your phones and install custom kernels, buy a faster phone and just underclock it so that it won't overheat instead of buying a slower phone. Most of the games can still be handled by Note 4 even on half the clock speed. And when you need a faster speed, you can set it back to normal clock.

Do you have any suggestions for the 910H variant that tends to overheat on average moderate usage? As it has no much custom kernels support

Yes. That's the same with what I have last time. If you didn't install any additional third party security software, it could be the Knox application.

After using the Idol 3 for a couple of weeks, I have the following observations.
Pros:
1) It is a very nice phone, especially considering the price.
2) Battery life is on par with most flagship phones if not better. I can get 5 hours SOT without turning anything off or down. (Considering most people on other phones are complaining about battery drain on Android 5.01/2 and everyone is hoping that 5.1 will fix this, our battery life may only get better)
3) The camera is quick taking shots and straight forward to use. (quality not so much)
4) The OS is simple with very little bloat ware.
5) Very good sound with the front facing speakers.
6) The phone is thin and light for a having a 2910 mAh battery in it.
7) The screen is very bright in direct sunlight. I use it outside a lot and enjoy using it without trying to find some shade.
Cons:
1) The camera is fast but only takes decent pictures. Although for this price one can't complain to much as it is on par of flagship phones a couple years old.
2) Double tap to wake seems to be a constant issue for many (myself included).
3) Only 1 update in the last 14 days. I was hoping for Alcatel to push out some updates quicker but only time will tell how well they do.
4) The phone isn't blazing fast but doesn't lag too much either so this is kind of neutral. Clearly the recent apps is choppy and slow but most performance is decent.
5) Very little in the way of accessories. I bought an ipad screen protector and cut it down to fit.(I can get 3 out of 1).
6) Development isn't there. Not sure if it will be as maybe the phone isn't popular enough or the root/boatloader issue my be part of that as well.
I had the Zenfone 2 and LG G3 and sold them both in favour of this phone. I have had almost every flag phone out there and thought I would play around with some lower priced devices and have been pleasantly surprised with this phone so far. 3 things for me to keep the phone as a daily driver for a little would be, the DTTW issue resolved, some development so I can have some fun flashing some roms, and update to Android M (or at least to 5.1 for some software improvements and extra battery life, but 5 hours of OST is good for me. I most likely will be keeping this phone as my backup once I do move on and will certainly keep an eye on Alcatel for future phones.
I agree 100% with what you said. Just waiting for an update to 5.1 (with some bug fixing) and I'd be very happy.
As for the camera, I'm coming from a Nexus 4. So this is a huge upgrade. I actually find that it takes pretty decent pictures in sunlight.

I watched a review that stated the Zenfone 2 camera blew the idol 3 away.
My personal experience is completely the opposite. The Zenfone 2 camera was slow at focusing and unless you picked a shooting mode the auto setting was the worse choice.
I was spoiled with the note 4 and G3 cameras.

Completely agree with all you have written on your posts[emoji2] . I have the phone and love it, double tap works very well, apex launcher + Deactivated animations in dev menu is a must!
And to screen off the device apex + screen off app is fantastic!
Oh and I have tried the laggy g3, its sad screen and its bad battery life [emoji6] ..
I own the m8 because the m9 hasn't convinced me, vs the m8..

I like it too. if somehow development are started I don't really care if Alcatel updates. hardware wise I'm sure this phone can do better than it is now.
therefore I'm only praying for everything to come together for developments of custom roms before everyone got fed up of Alcatel and leave this boat.

There is a 3-pack of Mr Shield screen protectors on Amazon that fit the phone perfectly. They aren't the best quality (shows scratches pretty easily) but they have the cutout for the camera/light sensor.

I don't disagree but the update was on start up. Nothing after that. This is a budget phone and a great one at that. If they address a could issue this good be a decent daily driver.
I lost patients and moved on but still check the forum as it was an underdog and I was mostly pleased with it.

Ive had this since yesterday. Phone has great potential with custom roms. My biggest complaint is the serious lag issues. Id assume this is from 5.0.2 and the memory leak. The animations are choppy as hell. Otherwise great device.

5.0.2 is full of bugs, yeah. Not sure why phones would ship with that in the first place but meh. To have a smoother experience, enable dev options and set all animation scales to off or .5x.
In europe evertything runs just fine animations, app clearing, everything even in 5.0.2, what's your build number?
The design is what sold me. Super light weight and very good battery life. Speakers are very good and the lcd is better than my nexus 5 was. The only downside is the lag which im thinking is from the gpu drivers and 5.0.2. Custom roms could fix this.

what is the phone charging time ? wonder if its Lion battery needs to be replaced faster than others' Lipo ?
if u ask from my part it was awesome .. buying a phone in this range is awesome with such specs .... and also with a good brand name, I was saved from buying a Chinese OEM device , I don't mean they are bad they just lack a brand name...... I don't mean every big brand is good for instance Samsung, Microsoft, Nokia ..... they all have just ruined the smartphone experience
and there is a saviour for mid rangers ...... Zenfone 2 ya I admit they were a bit poor in terms of updates and their aftermaths leading to outrageous customers and unfulfilled desires but still wat does one expect at this price range .....
I have used millions of Samsung devices but there's just one reply to Samsung , DIE SAMSUNG U DONT BELONG TO MAKE ANY ANDROID DEVICES....they don't have durability within a year my grandpa's S5 started being a jerk and gave retarded sot just 4-5 hours previously it was never less than 5 - 5.5..... note edge lags like **** even opening a folder from edge side takes 4 - 5 seconds like for wat m I giving money man.... I bought a flagship not ****
from all these aspects zenfone is way better my next device after 2 years will be either the latest zenfone, moto x (latest one , obvious) , or else any CM running device (any OEM it be)
i will always recommend asus if its continue its amazing bang to buck ratio

It is alright. I have never been a fan of the screen. The colors just aren't that great. I have been so used to an amoled screen for the past couple of years, going back to lcd was a big change. I get sim card errors sometimes. It is fast, but I just don't like it as much as the Note 3 I had before. It has the hardware, just isn't as refined software wise to keep me interested. I'm likely going to get a note 4 or try a LG g4.
For that price (the 550ml), i could not expect something better.
It is clearly not a perfect phone (low battery, not a good brightness, cameras videos are not good) but it remains in general a good phone, i do speak about the 550ml version.

Any ways never go for samsung it will lag after few months (6-8 , to be approx) they are not even durable in terms of battery life. Lg is good , but i will recommend ZTE axon pro , moto x style or OP2 .

So far I am very pleased with the ZF2. Many complain about the battery but I get a full day and then some out of it so it is fine to me. I changed the native DPI on mine so I could use five icons on the screen instead of four so I guess that is a bit of a nitpick in a way, but I really like using the native launcher and just could not stand how huge the icons were. The screen's brightness is not a big issue for me as I don't use it in direct sunlight but a dark video is hard to watch at times. The phone is fast and does everything I want so that makes me a satisfied customer.
