Phone owned for less than a year

At first I was looking for like a Note 4 in late 2016 , but I looked at the Mate 8, it was closer in price to the Note 4 , but you know Note4 is an 2014 device, Mate 8 is 2015s, better Storage , ram, specs overally. So I decided to get it and forget about the Note 4, then saw some comparisons of it and the Note5 and it surpassed it sometimes and I felt so proud. Overally it's a really good phone , I thought its size would be a problem for me, but it really doesn't at all, You will get along with it

What I like

Battery, really fine, started to stay less after few months but overally it's the greatest battery phone I've ever used.
UI Speed, it's hell-y fast and very good for multi tasking
It supports 4G and has good internet usage overally
Design is good and the UI design is fine too

What I don't like

Camera expected more from it , but it has a professional mode which is excellent
