PROS

  1. Extremely thin, lightweight, and compact design that fits comfortably in the pocket.
  2. Solid build quality using Kevlar composite construction for durability.
  3. Vibrant 5-inch 720p Super AMOLED display produces deep black levels and great contrast.
  4. Close-to-stock Android user experience provides a clean and bloatware-reduced feel (outside of carrier apps).
  5. "Active Display" technology shows notifications without waking up the entire screen, saving power.
  6. "Touchless Control" voice commands allow for hands-free operation (e.g., "OK, Google Now").
  7. "Quick Capture" feature allows fast camera launching by twisting the wrist twice.
  8. Strong and clear call quality with good noise cancellation.
  9. Reliable 4G LTE signal reception for fast data connectivity.
  10. Surprisingly loud and high-volume external speaker.

CONS

  1. Glossy back surface is a massive fingerprint magnet and hard to keep clean.
  2. The phone is very slippery to hold, feeling almost like a bar of wet soap.
  3. Only 16GB of internal storage, which is restrictive for heavy users.
  4. No microSD card slot for expanding the memory.
  5. Sealed, non-removable battery cannot be easily replaced.
  6. 720p display resolution is lower than competitor flagships of the time.
  7. Camera performance can be inconsistent, sometimes producing soft or washed-out images.
  8. Performance can degrade over time, leading to lag, overheating, and app glitches.
  9. Battery life, while decent at launch, often degrades to roughly half a day after extended use.
  10. The phone feels like a "weak sibling" compared to the longer-lasting DROID Maxx
