I use the phone & I can tell you that it's OK, battery life is great but not exceptional, at least for light to medium use, the screen is good for me, didn't notice any paleness or tint some people complain about, well it's an IPS LCD display not AMOLED so the display might be a little less colorful but I can live with that. Also some people used to custom Android interfaces from Samsung, LG, HTC, Xiaomi & others may not like the leanness of stock Google Android. If you're a heavy gamer, I'll advice you not to buy this phone because of the weak Mali-400 MP GPU. It'll play casual games like candy crush, temple run, clash of cans, angry birds and so on well, It'll also play the heavier games but at a lower frame rate which may lead to a little game lagging.
What I like about the phone is that it has a very efficient thermal management, it barely gets warm even when browsing & downloading heavy files on 3G, the only thing I hate about the phone are the upper & lower bezels, they are d*mn too big, considering that the phone uses on screen keys, they should have tried to reduce the bezels a bit (maybe a lot), LG G2 with a 5.2" screen is a lot more compact than this 5" screen phone. I will also advice against rooting if u plan to upgrade to Android 6 Marshmallow to avoid stories that touch (lol). As for the battery life, I will use Gsmarena's method; you'll get about 50 hours usage if you use the phone for an hour each of web browsing, making calls & video watching daily. (that's about 2 days, may vary depending on individual usage pattern)
Overall, I'll score the phone 8/10 @ this price point.
Pros: price is a steal, good battery life, stock Android 5.1.1 is smooth & lagless even with the entry level CPU, guaranteed update to android 6.0 marshmallow.
Cons: Big bezels, stock android misses out on some great features from other custom android interfaces.

Most of these guys bought thiers online. This is why I like to phyically shop for phones, check them out wella before buying one. I've never and would never buy a phone online unless I've already checked out the phone, if not, F free home delivery, I would spend my extra cash to go down to computer villa.

Lollipop want to kill people.

it killed my colleague.

BecaciaBarbie:
...Everybody like the people in your neighborhood? I read all the reasons and I couldn't pick out any reasonable disadvantage that has to do with the phone. The phone is awesome! And you will enjoy it more with a good android software.

I forgot to add...for its price, the camera is awesome too! Very sharp, glossy and colorful


Reading some comments here, it seems some people were expecting the phone to perform same functions as s5....na same price? Nothing good comes so easily.

hmmmmm, you killed it, but personally i think the phone is cool with the price tag.

Its not empty and its colorful. I'll see if I can send you some screenshots once the network is stable.

Yes no file manager but you can locate your files. Things gotta change and I'm sure others will follow suit.

IF YOU GUYS WANT LOLLIPOP (android one), YOU SHOULD TRY TECNO BOOM J5

Disadvantage: can not be rooted (for now)

You don't like the phone or it's difficult for you to operate?
The phone being empty puts you in an adventure to configure it to your taste.
Drop a phone that's 20k with similar specs for scrutiny.

That would be the Camon C8 guys, nobody in his/her right sense will compare an infinix hot 2 with an iPhone 6 or call it an iPhone 6 killer, they cater to different users & are not in the same price category.

Save money and spend it getting a good phone, I heard samsung galaxy prime is not that expensive, forget glo and rooting, you can get 1gig for N1000 on etisalat or 2gig for 2k. Or better yet buy data from data resellers.

Yh
But one thing you learn from apple is its not about increasing number of spec, but how it performs overall.

A company could bring out a phone whith those same exect Spec and beat the fone hands down and price may even turn out cheaper, but if I owned the company, they must pay more o! Like 30k

Rooting was never an advantage! Its an optional feature that promts risk in other for your desire to steal!

we all want quantity and not quality, im still taking my time to get a new phone, i think getting a bb is now the best option for me.

hmmmmm, so whats your view as far as rooting and tweaking r concerned, seems you are having different perspectives.
