As for me,firstly,I give it to it hardware interms of it ROM I would not recommend any phone that has less than 1rom although Octa core support is better becos it makes a phone works smoothly.Secondly I give it to the camera Megapixel though such is too overrated in the likes of Chinese smartphone they feel like infinix hotnotepro has 13megapixel rear camera and it better than Samsung 8megapixel and this is not through.thirdly, does the phone smartphone support OTA or not in otherwords it battery size on this I don't think 3000Mah is 2 small to behold for smartphone batery lifespan
to u people out there what feature would u say makes a smartphone standout?

Diffrennt strokes for diffrent folks, what I'm looking for in a smart phone is now what you are looking for.

Whether 6" or 4", 512mb ram or 6GB ram, as long as the phone looks good and does not hang, I'm fine.

To me, its d camera...A phone with a high mega pixel ROcks!!

full HD display, atleast 2gb ram, 32gb Rom. onscreen buttons (no hardware buttons) and aleast 3500 battery mah

Its Ram
Hardware
Camera
Design
BATTERY

And finally its strongability, ehn sorry i mean Durability
