So I've decided to treat myself to this since it looks really great on paper and is on par in some areas and even above the LG G3 (my first choice for the next phone) where screen and app lag is concerned (there's some YT videos that show that).

Once it's here I'll post some pics and in the meantime feel free to ask me any questions about it that you might want answered.

Its specs are as follows:

Screen: 5.5 inches Full HD IPS
Camera: Primary: 13MP; Secondary: 5MP
OS: Android 5.0 with ZenUI
Platform: Intel Atom
CPU: Quad-core 2.3 GHz
GPU: PowerVR G6430 (iPhone 5S GPU)
Amount of RAM: 4GB.

The phone also comes in a 2GB variant with a 1.8GHz CPU, however, I opted for this since I can't find the 2GB anywhere reliable.

Back with a review.

PROS:
Procesisng power.
Amount of RAM.
No expensive storage options (32 gigs version costs just a bit more than the 16, so does the 64 to the 32)
Great back, very grippy.
Gesture touch to wake the phone/open up a specific app.
Inputting a pre-set (by you) screen pattern will unlock the phone with another user that has access to different stuff, layouts etc.
DAT MULTITASKING
Quick charge...charger included.

CONS:

Battery.
Non-matte display coating.
Huge bezel.
Display is kinda dim though this might be related to the glossy finish of it.
Size, related to the bezel.
I PERSONALLY think it imitates the LG G3 a bit too much, with the lower part of the front and backside volume buttons.
Power button is inaccessible with one hand when USING the phone.
No 4K recording.
No 1080p60 recording even though the camera supposedly supports it, might be limited due to the relatively new chipset.
