FRANCESCO, Music and entertainment lover

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Powerful mobile, no glitches or hangs whatsoever.
Great Camera.
Great UI
Lightning Fast
Battery life not bad - you can get about 2 days of use with around 1hr use of wi-fi everyday and some gaming on it usually around 2hrs, calls, messages, etc
Bad points:: Only 768MB of ram, kind of a bottleneck.
HTC Sense uses most of the RAM, more than half!
Camera in low light situations produces a good amount of noise.
Loudspeaker for music and stuff not that loud.
