have this since January. I got it for ergonomi, performance and waterproof.
Nice phone for the size so here's a comparation with my old phone g357fz.
E5823 lower signal 📶 and switches often from 3g to 4g
Initial Rom got me 70000 score in antutu.
After update the score lowered. So much processing power but can't use it except if you live at the Pole. Heat management lowers CPU speed.
Camera night shots are awful on 🍭.
+ I miss TouchWiz. The interface is so harder to use, like for blutu tethering I have to touch the screen 4-5 times to enable it, the drawer is only available in orizontal scroll, etc.

          Great phone for the most part. Battery is pretty good. Doesnt get hot when using hotspot, battery lasts when using it as well. Love the small size and classy design. Waterproof feature is nice, used it in the rain without worrying about it. Charges fast as well. Overall I am pleased with it, but there are two main issues.

          Screen visibility in sunlight is terrible, phone is pretty much useless if you're outside. I have a blackberry passport and man, that screen is so much better.



          Camera is overrated. The digital zoom sucks, zoomability on pictures is abysmal. I have a lumia 1020 and it blows this camera out of the water. It does take quick photos, and slow motion/4k is nice. There are a lot of features as well. But for landscape pictures, night pictures, or zooming in on pictures, it sucks. I bought it to take pictures of my dogs since they move around a lot, and it works better than the lumia 1020 (had long shutter delay), but quality is not what I expected.

          The audio capabilities and features are amazing, best sounding phone I've had, wired or bluetooth.

                      Friends, the only solution to save battery life is to root your phone and slow down the snapdragon processor to 900 mhz.. It worked fine for me and now I have 3 days stand-by or 1 day of heavy Internet use
