I just wanted to chime on about the terrible battery life. It all depends on a lot of things:
Are you using wifi at work?
Do you have good signal? 4GLTE or 3g?
Are you constantly using your phone? And if you are: heavy browsing, twitter, insta, snapchat, facebook, youtube, Netflix, ebay etc
I live and work in Chicago. But it just so happens verizon signal at work is AWFUL for me. I'm getting only 2 bars of 3g as I type this post. When I unplug my phone in the morning around 6am, by the time I'm ready to clock out at 330pm my battery is around 30%. That's if I'm not using my phone that much. Since I have 3g here at work, my battery is constantly being used to look for the strong 4GLTE signal, which I don't have. I can't use the work wifi, because it block a lot of the sites that I go to. I'll listen to spotify, watch youtube hd videos, some browse for some blu ray torrents etc.
However, when I used my phone heavily; sending my girlfriend pics, videos, texts, snapchat, instagram, twitter, facebook, messenger vids/pics, talking on the phone, sending her lots of selfies, pics, vids and audio messages. Than I would have to charge my phone at work. When I heavy use, at 1pm I'm charging my phone with 15% battery life. It's not a problem for me to charge it, because I have fast wired and wireless charging. So I say, go ahead use this sexay looking phone. Just charge it when your battery goes down
So, it all depends really on how you use your phone. The more time the screen is on, even if you put it on auto/low brightness it's still being used. I did have greenify on my rooted juggernote 3, but since I have verizon it's stock. Best of luck
