Here's my take on the phone.
Look and Feel: 4.5 I love the curved back and it feels great. The back
has a plastic feel in regard to if you tap it with your fingernail, but it
looks great. The glass is high quality.
Button at the top: Its okay and I am getting used to it. It's a change....
Buttons on the back: Actually the volume rocker on the back does work
fairly well. I don't find I keep hitting it by mistake, I did that all the
time with my Sony especially when putting it into the slot on my motorcycle.
Screen quality: The picture is crisp and clear and colors are well
saturated, but it could be a little brighter, especially outdoors.
CPU/GPU: It's a beast. This thing is freaking powerful especially for
less than HALF the price of an Iphone or G6?!!
ASUS UI: It's pretty good, there is a fair amount of bloatware but with
64 Gb of space and a MicroSD slot who cares? Some of it is useful like the
app that tells you to recover 1.2 Gb of space by removing cookies and spam
etc.
Dual SIM. I would love it more if it was CDMA as well then I could use it
for my work phone as well. But could be useful to some.
Speaker: It's a little weak. It's okay but rear facing and nowwhere near
as good as the HTC M8
Audio Processor: I listen to A LOT of music and books. I listen through
my LG Tone750 bluetooth headset most of the time. The audio processor in
this is MUCH MUCH better than my sony. The sound is just so much better. As
a musician I can hear things that I couldn't with my Sony. I am shocked
because I expected my Sony to sound better considering the lineage but you
can't compare the audio processor on this to anything, it beats everything
else I have used (Samsung, Apple,Sony) by a long shot. If you listen to
audio this is a huge plus for me.
Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat.
