What you should apperceive afore ordering:

-there are no cases for this buzz that i accept begin as of yet, so if you are a dropper accumulate that in mind. 

-if you almanac a lot of video accumulate it on 720p. there is a 1080p advantage but it is adequately abortive until the above amend (hopefully) fixes that. 

-in abounding disclosure, this is the third handset i've been beatific back the aboriginal two did not assignment properly. Aboriginal one would not admit the battery, the additional had a "dead spot" in the digitizer that spanned the amplitude of the screen. auspiciously third time is the agreeableness and amazon has been amazing through the accomplished issue. so if you don't appetite to accord with adventitious of a minute hassle.
