My experiences using this phone for a while

Edited: May 21, 2016, 3:09 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

Okay, i Have this phone for a month now. My experiences :
Battery lasts 5hours 15minutes on screen time (about 50% screen lightness)
With normal usage battery lasts 1,5day - 2days
Phone just heats a little bit while playing games, but it wont burn your hands :D
Phone doesnt got fast charghing. Charger is just 1A, so it takes charge about 3hours+. I think its not big problem, because battery is fantastic, if you want good battery which lasts you for a while without putting phone in garbage, you must take care of it.
Camera is fantastic
EMUI 3.1 is good
Still no Marshmallow update to Europe baltic region via OTA
