Final conclusion
Score: 4Per criterion

Score: 5
The outside
The phone is around of mat/soft black plastic. The buttons are a bit loose in their jacket but works well. If you take the phone shake it, you hear the buttons rattle. The back does not close very well to the rest of the phone so there is grains of sand etc. sometimes between stuck. The recessed logo on the back contains metallic letters that after a few months completed. n for a release but the glue tracks leave. Little brushing with alcohol solves a lot of on.
The hardware
The camera often has trouble focusing, and is also not as fast. The flash light is sometimes on and can’t or vice versa. Only a reboot helps then. Range of the phone is fine on all GSM and mobile data links. The phone has sometimes struggled to switch from data to the (known) Wi-fi networks. Also the use of an EyeFi SD card (an SD card with Wi-fi) works, sometimes not at all tasty.
The display is fine. The white point leans a bit to pink, but that is only noticeable if you have one other phone besides. It is a pity that the phone does not have a SD-cardslot.
The software
Always the latest Android version and no skins of the phone maker is really nice and saves a lot of ugliness. Start-up time of Android 6.0 is a long time (also, there is no quickstart option like for example HTC), but once on, there is nothing to find fault with the software.
The packaging
The phone comes with a data cable lwa n a plug. Out of the box the battery is half full so can be used immediately.
Use
The phone is nice and grippy and warm in the hand. That is an advantage over phones with metal housings. The sound is good, even from the built-in speaker, but lacks the layer that you want to Nokia and iPhone hear. The battery is the same no day the same as two times per day an hour in the train and intensive use of the phone.
