Good phone but poor camera as with all Samsungs, good battery life & it comes with a spare, touch button interface a bit glitchy should stick to buttons.

Very good phone but the touch buttons get some getting used to, nearly sent mine back but after 2 days got used to using them, would have been better with conventional buttons. Missing some of the previous favourites from Samsung & that is the ability to set the phone to vibrate every 3 seconds after receiving a text which I found handy. Battery life is very good. If being very picky the screen could have been 16 million colours!
