5.0 out of 5 starsI Love This Phone
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017
I would give this phone 6 stars if It was possible. I first had the cheaper Phab 2 phone and while I liked it a lot it was glitchy and the screen wasn't as good. Every once in a while the sim card would not be recognized so I had to return the phone. I also had problems with Bluetooth and the phone connecting but the person on the other end not being able to hear me. The Pro had an entirely different motherboard and screen so I have not experienced any glitches. I have been using streaming audio, hands free in the car, etc. and it all works flawlessly. This phone takes a nano sim card unlike the lower end model so I had to run up to the T-mobile store and buy one. The screen is very easy to read with vibrant colors. I guess the screen could be a tad brighter but it is plenty bright for me. The Phab 2 Pro is very snappy with no lag at all. The sound and call reception is excellent. It has Dolby Atmos built in and I played the demo over my car's stereo which sounded amazing. The sound envelops the listener and the bass is clear, punchy and tight. I have a high end system so it sounded wonderful. You can use this for all your sounds too. Then there is Tango which is an interesting concept. I'm still playing with it. I would not buy the phone for this feature but it's fun to play with. There is an app that lets you take a pic of the side of your house or a wall and it will measure the distance within a 1/2". This would be a spectacular feature for many contractors. You can also take a pic of your room and then place in furniture that can be bought from Wayfair. Very cool tech. I use to buy Samsung phones and they are great phone too. I'm coming off a Samsung Note 3. This phone is just better is every area as it should be since it's newer technology. My friend paid 700 for an S8 and this phone is its equal but with a larger screen. Battery life is amazing so far. Marshmallow 6.0 has a feature called Doze that turns off all your power draining apps when your phone sits idle. I downloaded Greenfly to help enable this feature. Marshmallow also has lots of cool little features that make using the phone nice. Watching moves and surfing the web is amazing on the 6.4" screen. . While this device is large it easily fits into my pocket. The camera works well and takes nice clear crisp photos. I'm not hanging any phone pics on my wall anyway. I have a Nikon SLR when I want to do real photography. As you can tell I love this phone. I would buy it again in a second. The screen, performance, battery life, etc. make it a fun phone to have and to use on a daily basis. My old eyes appreciate the added real estate.
