      This phone has so many great features, but most impressive is the camera. With the free Windows 8.1 update installed, Cortana is great and this phone is much more useful than an iPhone. Despite people bemoaning the lack of a specific app here and there, I was able to find all of the apps I wanted for the phone in the Store with one exception. For that, Internet Explorer worked fine accessing the same functionality via the Web. I also found the battery life to be exceptional and lasting for 12 hours. GPS navigation will suck the battery like it did on the 920 before it, but unlike the 920, I was surprised that this model did *not* have built-in inductive charging. I don't like having a $50 case on the phone, so I've opted to plug it in. This is my only disappointment with this model, but Windows Phone has come a long way and is equal to or better than other phone operating systems. I loved using this with Xbox One's Smartglass application, and Cortana is actually helpful, aside from the standard witty responses. Since there's no inductive charging, this only gets an A- rating.

      Its Ok for the price.

      I have a Sony Xperia Z2 and I was comparing the camera... It wasnt much of a difference, but this phone can really shine at taking pictures with low light and at nigth. I dont really like Microsoft OS. Its so simple that it becomes difficult, and also the store is so empty, and not enough people grading the application. The battery seems to run out faster than my Xperia Z2. I think the 41 megapixles camera is just a commercial gimmick because I cant really notice a huge difference vs my Xperia Z2.
      It takes me a couple of seconds after taking a picture in 5 Jpeg+ 36 DNG MP option, its kind of delayed but its something you would expect with an UnderPowered Processor. When I play games Its ok for now since the phone doesnt have tons of aps.

      Pro:
      -Price.
      -Camera.
      -Design. look and feel sturdy.
      -Nokia. Yup the brand lolz.

      Cons:
      -Windows OS. I like Android OS better, The interface is so annoying for example to switch on/off WIFI/GPS/DATA/ etc In a Android phone you can just tap the uper part of the screen and it will show up. But on this phone you have to go all the way to settings to do it. The lack of customization is also an issue on this OS.
      -Store. the highest rated apps have around 13!!! votes. You cant make a choice with only 13 ratings!!. Your only option is to download it.
      -Battery. Only 2000 mAh while others have around 3000 mAh. Lasting nearly 50% less. I have to charge this phone daily, and I dont even use it that much, just a couple of hours a day for whatssap/fb/browsing/music nothing heavy, I use wifi. Data/GPS/ BT/ are off and even the screen is at lowest contrast setting. There is no way to tell what app is draining your battery...
      -NO SD slot, Only internal memory. 32 GB is nothing when you can only use around 20 GBs.
      -Non-removable battery. That is right, If your phone gets bricked you wont be able to take the battery out, this method would fix most error/ crashes.
      -NO PLAYLIST. Seriously the only way to create a playlist for songs is connecting this phone to a computer and making the playlist at media player. IT TAKES BLOODY 5 minutes!!! How could they fxck this up so bad!. It takes me 1 minute and much less effort to make a playlist on an Android phone!. I use my cellphone a lot for music, this makes me want to downgrade the vote to 2 stars.

      Neutral:
      -Speed. Its not that bad, sometimes freezes for a couple of seconds when Im scanning throught music or pictures. The processor is Kind of Underpowered but for the price... Cant complaint.
      -Screen resolution, glare, colors. Average.
      -Speaker/ sound.
      -This phone cant take burst shots (talking about 3-5 photos a second).
      -The auto setting for taking photos is really bad. Most of the time it looks blurry, dark, bright, or foogy. But on the hand if you manually set the focus, contrast, colors, This camera rules. Can beat my Z2 quality anytime. The only downside is that you could take sometime manually adjusting the settings.
      -The bump in the back (camera) does not bother me at all. Looks sexy.

      Overall this phone with the cost of nearly half the price of an Iphone and others competitors, its not a bad option.

      I really like this phone in terms of features and functionality. The camera is the best in the business... truly astounding picture quality. My only criticism is with regard to durability. The screen broke after 6 months of use. Not from a drop - the glass was intact, but the right third of the screen was illegible (vertical colored bars.) Strangely enough, the digitizer was still functioning perfectly. I'm almost positive this was due to heat damage. I live in AZ, and I accidentally left the phone in my truck while moving (during the middle of the summer) for about an hour. The temperature in the truck was likely 150 degrees. It was about 113 degrees outside. I ordered up a phone with a good screen and a bad ESN for 100 bucks on an auction site, and the swap took 5 minutes. If you buy one of these, make sure you get a warranty. I ordered an international version without a warranty to save a hundred bucks... in retrospect, it was a mistake.

      I bought this specifically for the camera, which is phenomenal. The pics are remarkable, much better than my Fuji Digital camera, and the video is in 1080 and flawless. There are several camera apps which are very helpful, a burst mode which chooses the best shot as well as others for more artistic shots. The camera saves each pic in two ways, 5 megapixels for instant upload and one in 34 megapixel. You can zoom in after the shot and not have that pixelated faded look, seeing is believing! Now the O S is Windows, I have an Ipod Touch and a Android Tablet but this is fairly straight forward. There aren't nearly the Apps those others have BUT I have ALL the same ones I used on those other devices. For my cell service I use Consumer Cellar, 15 dollars a month for 200 minutes, I know that isn't a lot but as I said I bought this for the camera. I am one happy camper which is why I gave it 5 stars.

      At first look this is an amazing phone but in fact it isn't. I had too many problems with it and the first one and the most important was it special feature, its camera, it has stopped working after a small drop from a table, now I try to open the camera and it doesn't work at all. What a big deal, a 41mpx camera that doesnt work.

      Also the phone has problems with video streaming, it shows a message of error "Video could not be decoded" and the wifi hotspot has several problems and not always I get a good connection to internet from other devices.
