It seems to be a very good midrange phone right now. I've had mine for about a year and I personally love it!
It uses touchless voice activation, which is useful in certain situations. Say that you are baking and your hands are dirty, you could say Ok Google Now. and then the phone would light up waiting for your request. You could set a timer, make a calendar event, call or text someone, or even have it read you your notifications. The voice activation phrase can be changed too. I set mine to Ok Friday.
currently runs android 5.1 Lollipop, so it is smooth through the menus and is great for doing normal smartphone stuff. The Speaker is clear and pretty loud. The camera is very ok quality it's not the best, but the quality isn't bad at all.
