So far, the 735 has been a decent phone.
I do miss the hardware camera button. Surprisingly, the camera is quite good which was one of the things I worried about. In reality, I think the higher megapixels wasn't something I personally took advantage of.
The battery life is WAY better than my Icon running W10M. I'm sure the age of my Icons battery probably played a factor, but it's nice to finish the day with 50%+ remaining.
Apps seem slightly slower to launch. Especially FB but that was slow on the Icon also. Everything else seems to be up within a few seconds. Nothing that has caused me frustration.
I'll probably keep am eye out for an Icon, but this 735 can also hold me over if word comes out regarding a Surface Phone.
