The design of this phone is quite bland. I do not understand the design language due to the glass in the back. Also I do not understand the storage option. Since this can record 4k video, it should have the 64gb option. I am really 50/50 on this smartphone because I want it to do great but I just cannot seem to understand it. Oh and I forgot, they are expensive.
