Deceptively light
Plastic materials
Overwhelming amount of software features could be difficult to use for some users
Only 8.9 GB of user accessible memory
Big surprise to nobody

The range of features could get confusing
Mixed success with some features such as Air Glance and Air callaccept
Unimpressive design
Poor low light camera shots
No FM
Uninspiring design
Flimsy back cover
Noticeable lag in certain basic tasks
Cluttered UI
Uncomfortable for singlehanded use
Expensive
Feels cheaper than similarpriced phones
'Innovation' makes things too complex
Minor UI issues
Plasticky built does not exude HTC One like premium feel
TouchWiz a bit laggy at times
Features like Smart Scroll
Air View have occasional hiccups
Meager onboard memory out of 16GB storage only 8GB is available
Lacks that premium feel
Too many features can confuse
Old design
No FM radio
Call drop
Same old design that doesn't feel premium
Camera is not good at taking low-light shots
Major portion of internal storage taken up by Samsung apps (read bloat-ware)
Polished hardware and software. Improves upon winning formula. Powerful quadcore processor. Userreplaceable battery. Great camera. Expandable storage.
