User Reviews
Couldn't be happier with the phone, especially for the price. Definitely recommend this one to anyone looking for a flagship phone on a budget. And they've announced an update to Nougat is coming. It's great to see a manufacturer continue to support their devices!
- Great battery life
- Beautiful screen
- Audio quality is spectacular
- Call quality is very good
- Great build quality
- A little sluggishness with the UI from time to time
- Will sometimes drop AT&T LTE data connection if left on wi-fi for several hours
Let me tell you, this is a great phone, to me it's one of the best phones realeased this year, I first bought this phone because I needed a replacement for my older phone fast, and this phone came as my second choise falling under the Zenfone 3 deluxe, yet, the price increase made me go NO, so when I had the Axon on my hands I fell in love, but this phone is made for one kind of person in particular, its made for people that like to consume multimedia at the highest quality possible, with its Hi-Fi audio, outside of that, it does everything pretty much the same as any other SD820 phone.
The Build Quality, the phone feels great, yet somehow at the sametime, that it's trying to hard to be premium, its kinda weird, there is nothing bad about its build, only maybe the fact that its kinda slippery.
Reception, I'm not american so I don't know how that goes there, but in my country the reception works great, I've never had a moment when I had less half of it.
Call Quality, Again, great, I never had any issue with it, and I asked someone to tell me, where could I be by the outside noise, they said I was at home or at a quiet place, yet I was out on the streets, so I think that noise cancelling is quite good if not great.
Internet, Never had an issue yet, it's fast an responsive
Multimedia, Again this is where the phone shines, given to it's whole enfasis on the
Audio experience with its Dual Speakers, HiFi audio output and input(recording)
Camera, the cameras are good, doing a small test on it I found that it's kinda on par with the iPhone6 camera, so expect a good camera, but not the best, besides that, the cameras are both protected by glass, the rear being protected with sapphire glass apparently.
UI Speed, at first the UI wasn't the best it felt like it was kinda ¨skipping some frames¨ kinda, but after one update, the phone felt incredibly smooth, sure I have issues with the UI it self, like it's god awful 640 DPI, the experience is kinda stock, but not quite there yet, its not bad, but it's not great, it's kinda just, there.
Everyday Usage, The phone has not let me down yet, at any moment, so as far as the day of writing the phone is still rocking good with a heavy to average usage.
Text Input, I mean, it has it, there is not much to argue about that.
Display, The display is great, better than the OnePlus3, and is QHD also, so thats nice, yet, it's not as good as the ¨Super AMOLED¨ I don't know what is it, but the Galaxy S7 looks better, but barely.
Battery, The battery is great, again as I said, it lasts a good day with mixed to heavy usage, playing music pretty much around 6 to 8 hours straigt, and around 1 hour of gaming, along with the usual social networking, and search one might do.
OVERALL, The Phone is great, and for 400$ I think is one of the best experiences one might get, the phone gave me a 140000 average out of 5 runs on Antutu, the Audio experience is probably the best, and a crushing factor for me, SD Card Slot!
