Does seem to get decent reviews  :)

Has a decent spec sheet: 2gb ram, full HD OLED display, 16mp camera, fingerprint scanner, heart rate monitor below the camera, Probably will also be getting the latest version of android soon also..  :y

Do people still use the phone function?  ;D

I keep any smartphone in the right pocket whatever the device, My daily iPhone 6 Plus fit is just fine, If you ware tight clothes especially without an adequate case you will probably end up with a odd shaped uncomfortable smartphone at some point, Does help to have deep pockets with the size of devices these days mind  :y

(Also it's common sense with any big screen device or any device really should have the screen side pointing towards your body)

Saying that it's amusing to see so many careless people with devices flying about the price of a decent car with no protection for their devices ::)

If your handset is branded (eg, O2, Voda, etc) then OS update times will vary depending on how long it takes the service provider to add their "touch" to the ROM, test it and then release it.
If it's truly SIM free, you'll be at the front of the queue for the update.


PS
Don't hold your breath for Lollipop (Android 5), it's still very buggy on lots of different hardware at the moment.

I can't think of any smartphone that comes with instructions


PS
Just looked the phone up, it's pretty much a copy of the S4 with S2 hardware specs.

Makes me laugh reading some reviews of phones.

" I tested the waterproof in the sink today and its fine.."

Guess they crash test there cars too.

Not so sure on how long the headphone socket will last as that isn't covered up, but my son's friend has an S5 that we left completely submersed in a bowl of water for over 5 minutes and it works just fine (he only came around so I could modify it to increase the output volume).

My contract is at an end shortly but I will be keeping the S4.  Perfectly fine for my needs and now I have tempered glass protector I should be able to stop breaking the screens  ::)

But as a pressie to myself I have gotten Galaxy Tab S 10.4 instead of a new phone contract.  As soon as I can I shall be dropping Vodafone like a lead balloon and waiting for them to screw up so I can take them to the cleaners :y
