First Impressions.

I wanted to start this now as I think I'm gonna have so much to say and I don't want to forget anything....

So, anyway WOW !!!!

First thing you notice is the size, obviously.

It's big, but it's not too big. Overall it's not much bigger than my One but the screen looks twice the size.

Talking of the screen, the colours and resolution are just mind blowing.

Air gestures are simply just so convenient you wonder why every phone doesn't have them.

Hover over the lock screen and get notification previews, scroll the page with your eyes, answer a call by waving at the phone (which enables speaker phone mode) - Just so "right" in every way.

There is so much on here as standard I haven't even downloaded one single app of my own yet and I'm still playing with the stock features.....

I haven't turned my tablet on yet since this arrived either as using the S Pen on forums is easy and accurate. Handwriting recognition is linked to the inbuilt dictionary so even if you mis spell a word it still recognises it and enters it correctly....

Anyway, that's it for now so I'm off to play some more.

I'll be watching some TV on it later and on this screen it's gonna be amazing

Well battery had dropped to below 25% tonight so I figured I should put it on charge.....

Also ran a benchmark test:

How long does it take to charge back up guys?

My iPhone is quick, but the Android devices all have such huge variation in charge speed.

It took 2.5 ish hours last night from 23% to 100%. Not bad for the size of battery....
In theory, with a 1amp charger it should take just over 3 hours from fully flat to fully charged.

Mine charges from flat to full in around 2 hours that's using the 2amp charger and USB 3 cable that came with it

MI5 · ‎15-01-2014

Yeah, of course, my theoretical charging time will halve with a 2a charger.

just pure physics lol but depends on what the device's own internal charge limiting will kick in at.

even if you connect a 2.1 amp ipad charger to an iphone it will only draw 1 amp to charge the iphone etc.

(I know different manufacturer but valid on any make of device)

Did yours not come with the charger MI5 ?

MI5 · ‎15-01-2014

Yes, but I'm charging from the one that is permanently plugged in beside my bed.
