          Pros:
1. Found zero lag in the device and navigation between screens/Apps is absolutely smooth.. Thanks to Octa core processor and 2GB RAM!
2. Super AMOLED HD Display is awesome and the colors come out beautifully.
3. Corning Gorilla glass screen is a big plus. Keeps the screen scratch free and is easy to maintain!
4. Has a great 13MP camera. Taking pics is really fun and the modes are pretty good!
5. Phone looks stylish enough in front though back panel is a bit of disappointment... But still looks and feels compact for a 5" device.. Easy to use and handle.. Is slim and light weight too.
6. Love the multi window and the new lock screen with easy access to our fav apps.
7. Battery of 2600 mah is pretty decent. Lasts more than a day for an average user.
8. 3G connectivity @ 42 mbps is really fast.
9. Loved some of the features ilke Watch On, Smart pause and Air gestures.
10. Removable battery and external SD card options are a big plus when compared to HTC One and Experia Z.

Cons:
1. Device gets heated very quickly.
2. Some features like Smart Scroll, Air view & Dual Shot are never really helpful. Its only a gimmick.
3. Phone is overly priced! (Collapse).
