    “A year later and a few updates later and the performance is great but battery draining is becoming a concern. [...] Like i said the only downside i have a year later is the battery seems to be draining faster than i rememeber. [...] Its budget youre not going to get the edge display. The camera is fine if youre taking everyday photos. Nobody is going to dissect every photo like hes doing. [...] This is also a phone with the flagship gorilla glass and ive dropped it caseless multiple times no dings or cracks. And that's without a screen protector. [...]”
