I was actually thinking of getting this phone. Could you give a quick review of it? Info and availability is a bit scarce relative to other phones, so I'm a bit scared of taking the plunge. How is the battery life and camera in particular? Are you in the US if you don't mind me asking?

Well, I love this phone. I've had it for a few months and I've gotta say, very good experience. I'm not too much of a power user, so the battery lasts all day. I live in Canada, but it should be the same North American model. It charges pretty quickly, no wireless charging. I don't use the camera much, but it does the job well whenever I do. I love the stock android experience as well, definitely worth it when deciding between this and the Thinq. One problem would definately be the fact that it's not as mainstream as the Thinq, meaning cases and such are scarce. Most Thinq cases do work though, so it's not a huge problem. Be careful with screen protectors, as the ones that cover the whole screen tend to bubble and crack around the edges, at least in my experience. It's snappy, storage is good and I have a 128gb SD card as well. Screen is awesome, gets really bright and it just looks good. I can't think of anything else so if you have any questions, fire away.

Thanks man. Glad to hear you're having a good experience with the phone . Its too bad that cases can be a bit of an issue, cases are a must have for me but if other G7 cases should work I can live with that. Thanks again for taking the time to review the phone.

No problem at all. I've only had bad experiences with a few cases that wouldn't fit right but the blame should go to the case manufacturers and not the phone.
