Phone owned for more than a year

This phone has been through many places, mostly for photography. The camera is great for a 2016 phone, and all of the functions work. The only thing that I don't like is how fragile the screen and back glass is.

Phone owned for more than a year

The phone is quick and snappy and has a beautiful display but the battery is not very good and drains quickly especially in standby. The water resistant desgin is nice to have just in case of an accident
