    Customers like the quality of the cellular phone. They say it's heavy-duty, built to take abuse, and is kid resistant. The gorilla glass never breaks and resists scratching very well. Some say that the factory screen protector was great, but a tempered glass one would have been perfect.

    5 star on all but 3 things

    5 star on all but 3 things
    The only places that it takes a rating hit is on processor, gyroscope, and camera. It tends to lag a little, but not bad, and only when quite a few apps are open. The low light performance is extremely lacking, but it does well in full daylight. How to improve camera performance: use Adobe Lightroom camera or camera fv-5, and shoot in raw mode, maybe mess with manual controls. I'd honestly have paid 20-40 more for a gyroscope and just a little bump on whatever causes the lag, be it cpu, gpu, or ram - based on what oneplus is doing I think it's a realistic tweak to want. The gyroscope is an issue only because I had to have a VR headset for school presentations.The good:The battery life is absolutely exceptional. It regularly hits 10-16 hours of screen on time without a charge, depending on what apps I use and screen brightness.Reception is better than past phones.Gps is good enough to get the job done - I've used it to navigate backcountry hiking paths with offline maps.Waterproofing is exceptional. Make sure to have the flaps closed.Drop resiliency is honestly the biggest reason I chose this phone, and it hasn't disappointed. It's survived drops within the specified range that could have obliterated past phones' screens (none outside the specified height). The headphone jack is a little wobbly these days and I can't pinpoint a that it should be, but it still functions fine.Android 8. Nice job CAT. It actually made some of the lag issues better somehow. I'm glad there's almost no bloatware - basic Google apps, a fm radio, and a toolbox where you can download apps specific to industries.Expandable storage is really nice.Glove mode really works - thick leather gloves are a non-issue.Included are photos taken using the stock camera app (field, wheel, dog), Lightroom camera (snowy pine, both pops route 66 rainbow bottles), and camera fv-5 (sunset parking lot). Also included are two photos of it during unboxing, a case available for the phone (it's not included with it. It's third party), and another photo using the stock camera app in low light.
