This is my first smart phone. I received it in 3 days. The outer packet was a little damp and corners bumped. The inside box was intact. The mobile appeared new with no immediately noticable scratches or signs of prior handling. I am using it for the past 24 hours. To test it I am using it heavily, connected it to wifi and using it for watching video and reading pdf files. Also installed several apps. Everything is working smoothly till now. Also used the turbo charger and it worked well.
I installed a few gaming apps for kids and it worked well. There is more than 10 GB free space. Ram and battery life has been satisfactory. Audio quality is good for a phone. Camera is good for clicking casual pictures or record shots. It cannot compete with a dslr ( even with less than 8mp) with a quality lens. In a professional lighting setup the camera might be able to take outstanding shots but do not expect it in usual indoor setting. I disabled most of the bells and whistles.
I did not notice any heating problems even while turbo charging or shooting short video clips ( 30 -60 secs) . It became barely warm during turbo charging. It seems like a solid phone for basic phone calls, casual pictures, internet surfing, watching/recrding video, reading pdf files, data sharing/transfer etc.
The audio and camera functions do not compare ( in overall quality and ease of use) with an amateur / professional setup. I think it excels as a phone and in several supporting functions. It may not be a replacement for video camera/dslr/audio system/gaming setup etc. I cannot comment on its durability but it looks rugged.
The size is a little big for a phone and little small for reading documents. For my intended use it is a good size and suitable for everyday carry. The battery drained by 40 percent in 12-13 hours of use in the testing period.
I did not like the camera in the back sticking out. I feel the glass covering the camera will pic up grime in the borders and scratches in the central region. Anyway it is a phone camera and there wont be significant drop from the resolution. I may use a back cover for protection of the phone.
Overall it seems like a solid phone that supports multiple modern day activities. I was also able to install several security apps and it did not interfere ( till now) with the basic software. I also customised several features. Some of the other smart phones used by my friends did not support these operations. I would highly recommend it based on my experience till now.
