Great working phone

The size of the phone is great. Not too big and not too little. It is comfortable to carry but not so small that it can get lost. Coming from a Droid Razr, it took me a while to figure out how to use some features on this, e.g., the screenshot function, how to turn off motion sensor function, etc. The latter was a bit of a problem at first: the phone would shut off if I happened to wave my fingers over the motion sensor. Other than that, it's been a seamless transition and I am happy with my new product.
Fairly slim design seems to mean the camera lens must stick out from the rest of the phone which makes it very easily scratched and damaged which 1 drop on the sidewalk or the road and no more photos for you. I highly recommend a case that keeps the lens from protruding out or from being flush you want it to be set in a bit to avoid this terrible design flaw. The pre loaded apps are a problem with every phone out there. Constantly running constantly updating constantly taking up all of your memory. I have had random issues with my phone including wifi cutting out and subbing 4G to eat my data while im in a game or watching a movie even though im supposedly connected to my wifi which is 4 feet from me. Im constantly having to delete apps i like to download new apps or delete and download just as a weekly way to use different 1s because the memory on the phone is limited, some apps dont have a move to sd card option, and my favorite reason .... the devices absurd amount of non removable apps take up all of the space. And I realized the other day that when I move to sd storage the next day or later that day those same apps are magically back on my device and my storage is low again.... anyhow you would think I would hate this phone but to me the phone is hangin in there its the preloaded apps that you never use that constantly update and take up all your phones memory that bothers me more. It has its flaws but i seem to have the better phone of the friends and family around me. Oh and can we please stop with the rear facing speakers??? So annoying.
This phone is actually a lot better than I first thought. Its fast, accurate, easy to use, fast internet, graphics are awesome and pictures are amazing.
