Phone owned for more than a year

Been using it for Gaming, Business and Photography. Still a must but in 2017.
With Windows 8.1 it is a smooth device which might be discarded by others but is a great device. This dose not however dose not have Windows 10 support yet.

Great phone, Amazing camera

This is the best Nokia phone that I've had for a while. Amazing camera and performance. Only negative of this phone is that it's using Windows which means not enough apps in store. Otherwise, I've used this phone for over 2 years and I totally love it!

4 star phone.

I would give this handset a straight 5 star, if there would be not this focus issue. On closeup objects it focusses and then snaps back into blurred. Manually it works. But that is a bit fiddling.
