Hello,
I would like to know more about this phone:
-Have you guys had any bad issues? (construction, failures, etc)
-Is battery life good enough? (read some bad reviews)
-Update "Schedule"
-Have the updates improved the phone
-Any useful comment
I had the 950xl and felt kind of bad, coming from previous great phones (HTC One M8, 920, 1520, 930).
Thanks :smile:
I have the T-Mobile version of the 4S. I've been very pleased with my device.
-Haven't experienced any bad issues. It is well built and feels solid. It is glass front/back so a good case is suggested if you have a tendency to drop things.
-Battery life is very good -- but I don't know your kind of usage. I can start a 100% charge at 7am ... with fairly heavy usage (based on my usage) it will have approx. 70% charge at 4pm. This is reading a lot of news via the Monument browser, a few texts, surfing Reddit via a very well designed app called ReddPlanet. Maybe watching a YouTube video or 3 (3-4 min. in length) via myTube!.
-you mentioned having had an HTC One M8 (as did I) so you will certainly appreciate the front (and rear) speakers.
-the display (even tho it's a 1080) is outstanding. Very rich with contrast and color. Visually more pleasing (to me) over my 950/950XL
-the idol also has very good cell radio. At my work inside, the idol will hang on to a 4G LTE signal (showing 2-3 bar LTE connection) in an area whereas the 950/XL will drop to 2G.
-I have (and use) both the 950/XL. While they are good, the idol 4S has been my go to Windows mobile device. Mainly for the battery life, cell reception, and those speakers.
-I don't use the fingerprint sensor on the back so I can't say anything.
-it does have double tap to wake -- but is not quite as responsive as on the 950's. No glance.
