okay so I have been rocking this phone as my daily driver for about a month, and let me say WOW this phone is a beast. First impression was this was/is a beautiful phone, this blue really pops. The Aluminum frame is painted blue to match the back and front of the phone, and this phone absolutely sparkles. it is 18:9 ratio so feels really good in the hands (but is it slippery AF), and it has a great weight. Now the weight is great for me I love knowing that I am holding something substantial, when I compare this to my wifes iphone 7, it is considerable heavier, which again I appreciate especially with the aspect ratio. previously I was rocking a Moto G5 and this phone looks and feels so much better. This is a phone with quality build.
Build: Great build especially for the price as $200 dollars this phone is the champ of the budget phones, and looks and feels like a premium device. button lay out is great and the small details make a difference, like the textured power button and the placement of the finger print sensor. The device has USB C at this price point is impressive. the Screen is only 740P but man I can not tell as the screen is very vibrant. One negative with the screen is that it is a little washed out contrast is not the best; true black and whites are just a little gray on both ends if the spectrum, but color reproduction is great and really pops. The edge to edge display has very, and i mean very minimal side bezels giving the phone a very modern look and feel. but the phone does have a big forehead and chin similar to the Pixel 2. Glass front and back really makes this phone sparkle, but does make it as slick as a wet fish, hold tight it is will slide out of your hand with a quickness.
Software: was pretty much stock android 7.1 Nougat with no bloatware. There were one 4 items that were installed that were extra ETWS, file manager, FM Radio and Sound Recorder; so I was good with that. I have since loaded Nova Launcher this thing runs like butter, it is really slick. I have experience only a few instances of lag when running some games (hitman sniper, asphalt) , but with most apps it is again buttery smooth. Don't expect instant loading it is not a galaxy s8 or iphone, but it is really good and really responsive. It beat every other phone in its price range and the fact that it is pretty much stock android made me very happy.
Speaker: midlevel good not great, single speaker grill on the bottom provided adequate sound (better when cupped- of course). I will say that the speak does not hold a candle to the Moto G4 or G5 with the font facing speaker. but again for a $200 budget phone there will be some items that leave you wanting, Along with the issue with the speaker, there is not headphone jack. I know that more and more modern phones are moving to no headphone jack but i really miss this. The phone does include a usb-c to headphone jack dongle and it does work and sounds good but I miss the headphone jack and I hate carrying dongles. So I am using a pair of Bluetooth headphones and this phone works well with my devices (3 pairs). Bluetooth can been spotty and weak range,
Camera: Well I have a say the camara is not great it is barely holding on to good. I am so conflicted about this camera and I want to like it but man it makes it so difficult. Let me explain. The camera sports a dual camera set up on the rear 13mp and 5mp depth sensing, and with HDR turned on camera yields some good results, but HDR makes the camera really slow. Turn off HDR and the camera is wildly inconsistent especially with focus and shutter speed. when you capture a good picture is a darn near great but it really is a crap shoot and I wounder if it is a software issue, becasue again when it works its great but other wise is is mew! Now the camera does have to feature rich settings that I have played with a little like portrait beauty, Mono, and manual that add alot to the functionality. i hate this camera becasue more than anything it has be conflicted, when it is good it is darn near great when it is bad i feel like I am shooting with my motorola razer v3 from 2003. front facing camera is good again not great, but it is not bad. I do like that fact that the front facing camera does have a flash, but in low light it can really wash out the details.
Intangibles: At $200 this thing is rocking a good fingerprint sensor, face recognition, 64GB on board storage and NFC.
This thing is a winner, simple as that.

A great option to that expensive branded phone
Update Dec 22, 2018: yesterday I got a notice for a wireless update. I checked it out. It was for Android 8, Oreo. The update took a while but went smoothly. I am very happy with this phone and appreciate the OS update, almost like a totally new phone. I continue to strongly recommend this phone. Best $200 on a phone ever spent. I see they now have a red phone too! You can’t go wrong with this phone.I really like this phone. Early on I had problems with the phone but customer service by way of the Amazon vendor messages got me fixed up. They did offer a phone number to call but issues were resolved without having to call (Thanks John).The phone runs Android 7.1.1 with an 8 core Media Tek processor, really snappy. The phone sensitivity is very good. I have terrible ATT coverage at my home. My iPhone 5S and Huawei Mate 7 give me only about 50% indoor coverage meaning I have to go outside to take a call on them 50% of the time due to very poor ATT coverage. With the G3, i have a strong reliable signal inside all the time.From a style perspective, it is very similar to the Samsung S9. it includes curved glass on the front giving a stylish impression. Back case is 'sapphire' or blue as in the picture. I like the color but it seems to be the only option and others may not like it, but really you shouldn't use a phone without a case so I'm not sure what it really matters. The phone does come with a clear 'case' that is really just a cover. It probably wouldn't provide any drop protection, but if you really like the color of the phone you could use this.if you are into selfie's the phone has dual cameras front/back and a flash on both sides. I'm not a selfie person, but can understand the benefit of having that extra flash on both sides.Like Apple and other phones, no headphone jack so you either need to use the included adapter or buy a Bluetooth headset of some kind. The audio volume seems a bit low, but more than usable thru the earpiece. In speaker mode the volume is good as is the quality. If you want HiFi, use a Bluetooth speaker.If you're like me, you have a box of USB chargers around. This phone uses USB C, so unless your box includes those, you'll need to invest in a few spare cables/chargers. Of course the phone includes one, but you'll want one in the car or work as well.As far as I can tell, it only operates on GSM/LTE networks like ATT, but I did see several reviews from others with instructions for operation on a WCDMA network like Verizon including instructions, but I haven't tried yet. There is a menu setting to prefer different networks and this includes WCDMA but I can't confirm this mode of operation, maybe someone else can.Overall a great phone and I look forward to using it. If anything changes, I'll update my review but I don't expect any. Would strongly recommend this phone if you are considering it. even though the brand was unknown to me, customer service was excellent.As for roaming, I can confirm that the phone will work in China and Europe. Make sure to set the proper roaming settings and contact your local carrier before you travel.Update: After taking thousands of pictures, I would like to add a few photos. As mentioned above, it includes a front camera and a front flash, but the rear camera is great. Sometimes a little tricky to select the mode (panoramic, beauty, etc), but with a little patience, it will take absolutely great photos. See the attached below. Included are an outdoor, indoor and underwater (from inside a sub).
