To recap

We’re in love. This phone may seem wildly illogical, but those fabulous Koreans have somehow managed to create a device that offers so much more than a smaller phone and almost makes tablets pointless. This phone won’t be for everyone, but for us it’s one of the best Android devices money can buy.
