Coming from a Galaxy S6 Edge and this phone is worlds better. I can't speed to battery life on it just yet, but I am finding that the device can take everything I can throw at it so far and laugh.

It does hiccup from time to time, but I honestly got this phone REFURB in Grade 'A' condition (looked brand new to me) for $175 after tax and I feel like I lucked out. I haven't had it close any apps on me just yet, and the UI is much snappier than my S6. I just updated everything to 9.0 and loving it more and more.
I'll report back in a few weeks but I'd buy this phone again in a heart beat. (it is a little big for me, but for $175 . . . I'll deal with it)
