I bought this phone almost 6 months back and its a very reliable phone. Lately I've 2 issues. There is lot of response delay on clicks/touches. Not sure if its because the phone is encrypted. My call recipients complain of poor voice quality (handset/speaker/headset). this is not due to network or my location as this was not a complaint before

      I bought the phone as an upgrade to my 2014 Moto G. I was looking at the Idol 3 or the new Moto G with 2 gb of ram for $229. After looking at what you get for both phones the Idol 3 was the easy winner as you get so much extra for that extra $20. Larger screen, full HD screen, 128 micro card upgrade and a few other extras. This is a great phone for $249!!

                  is it safe to use it without a screen protector and a case?

                          Fellas,
                          I ordered this phone today. Is it really a good deal? I watched many reviews and all is positive. I hope I don't regret my choice!
                          I weighed between this phone and OnePlus One and I found that the difference in price is big for me [1000 EGP] as you know OnePlus is not exporting to Egypt so I have to order it from Amazon which will cost 1000 EGP extra. I know OPO is higher in CPU and RAM. So, I hope I took the correct choice.

                              How does this phone compare to the Oppo Find 7a?

                                Great phone for a great price. The battery holds a day and a half with my usage, full charge takes about 2 hours. I would suggest this phone to a friends :)

                                  Does the Idol 3 give you a record button on the radio?

                                    Great phone so far. It's a thin, light device relative to its size.
                                    The glass used in this phone is called Dragontrail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragontrail).
                                    Because the glass is laid on top of the bezel and not integrated like most phones, I wouldn't use it without a case and a glass screen protector.

                                    I usually use the phone with my left hand, so the button placement is fine for me. I installed Nova Launcher and changed some icons, good to go.

                                    Oh, if you buy this phone new. Make sure you update the rom first and do a factory reset after, before using it. Gets rid of pauses, stutters and delays. I've heard rumours that this phone will skip 5.1 and go straight to Marshmallow.

                                      I have the idol 3, great phone. But i don't see a record button on the radio, does that mean i can't record songs off the radio like i could on the BLU phone?
