Ugly. Period.
The more I see these massive phones the more I know that I made the right choice with the iPhone 5. Imagine carrying that everywhere; on a hike, the beach, in the summer when wearing shorts and t-shirt, etc etc.
It’s a tablet with phone capabilities. Only an idiot would buy this for a main phone.
So… if they ain’t using it as a main phone, then I suppose they carry another phone around as well? Only an idiot would buy this, period.
It’s not a phone, it’s a tablet, you can’t make calls from it
