Phone owned for more than a year

I've used it for 2years. And still is my backup phone today with CM12.1.
Globally great experience, just screen/body ratio and battery were not that good at that time. Even bad with nowadays standards.
Hope Z5Ultra would be out soon.

Phone owned for less than a year

Bought this phone at Christmas, and having come from the HTC one, it felt massive, but after about a week, I got used the the size and felt like it was an actual phone, it has amazingly nice colours and its a joy to watch movies on it, checking facebook is super nice as well as its easier to read everything. the camera isnt to bad, but it lacks detail, audio is a bit muffled as well, but im guessing thats because if the water proof or something. I have shot video under water in my pool and its pretty cool to do that with a phone. The phone feels of quality and my only negative would be that the protective sheet over the screen is hard to clean from fingerprints and oils. But awesome phone and would recommend to anyone looking for a large phone
