Phone owned for less than a year

I first found it a a good 5.5" phone for daily use.now I believe that its battery life time is not only very low for daily use but also I have to carry cable everywhere and recharge the battery 3 or 4 time a day now I think a phone with 4000mah or higher is appeopriate for me good

Phone owned for less than 3 months

It is amazingly good, no bad side (for now). Everything works and runs perfectly. I have it for 3 months, it will probably last for years, i am very happy with it, and i reccomend it to everyone. Hope you like it too

This phone is good for everything. From taking selfies to playing games! I ike it soo much, i would reccomend it to the whole world. The only thing that i didn't like is that it has S Voice, if i exedently press the home button twice, i will be greeted by that thing, Horrible. But it's still a good phone!
