Doesn't look like it has dual LED flash. The 5s had that WTF?

Good looking phone. I still wish phone companies stopped worrying about the outward appearance so much. I believe a majority of people put a cover on it anyway. Put that cost into the damn battery. Also, make the phone a little thicker not thinner to allow for larger batteries.

I have a HTC One and I think it looks outstanding! But it's in a case so I never see it.

And why the frick doesn't companies use the technology that has been around forever in their stuff? Sapphire glass has been around forever on watches and it is amazing and clear.

I think I read somewhere that they were able to merge them into one bulb

yea MKB did an update video where he tested the hardness by rubbing it with sandpaper and something else. Both left scratches

Still better than gorilla glass

Big improvement. I just upgraded to the OnePlus One with a 3100mAH battery.

I'm at 1 day 5 hours without charging and still at 20%

This too. I have friends that got it bc of how it looked over the S4 because the S4 was plastic. Well we both have plastic cases on our phone so it's the same thing.

I legitimately 'd

I believe I'm in the minority. I refuse to use a case. I like good looking phones and that factors into my purchasing decision, so if I'm rocking an iPhone, HTC One or a G3 I'm not putting some garbage on it that makes it look like a plastic/rubber brick from 15 years ago.

Everyone seems to have a case though except for me. To each his/her own.

not 2 hours ago was holding my phone while putting 6 text books in my daughter's locker at school (registration fun) and it slipped and bounced off the tile floor.

unscathed.

so yeah, i understand there are some people who have suction cups on their fingers and never drop their phone...EVER..but that aint me. i like having a thin flip case to store my DL and VISA. i don't carry a wallet.

Oh I'm definitely not immune. I probably have 2-3 "oh shite" drops per phone. My last one was a couple months ago in a hotel lobby onto a ceramic tile floor from waist high.

I figure if I break the screen I'll just charge it to the game and fix it or sell it at a loss. Maybe I'm too much of a risk taker (the two years with the iPhone 4/4S made entirely out of glass were really fun! ).

I had an S4 in a case and that cheap, piece of crap back cover still developed cracks.

I'm in the same boat in that I hate having a bulky case. Every once in awhile I'll take it out and use it case-less for a couple days, but then I'll drop it and say...ehhhhh better get back in one. The few times I've dropped it without a case it always seems to leave a little dent or scratch.

But then again, I've shattered the whole screen before dropping it in my case

Oh and who dat, went to the Apple store and they just switched the whole phone out for me, so really was a win-win
