My Fave Ever (So far)
Phone owned for more than a year

I bought this phone back in 2019. It's now 2025 and I'm getting desperate that a similar premium build phablet hasn't come on the market since this one. It still works fine but it's not as fast as it used to be. Battery is at about 75%. This is by far my favorite Android device ever. The cameras aren't the greatest though and there's no flash.
