It’s cool to the touch

You double tap the home button to switch apps.This
You get used to. More frustrating is HTC’s decis
No storage expansion
Camera suffers from noise
Blink Feed won't be for everyone
Camera could be better
BlinkFeed needs work
No memory slot
Battery life is unexceptional and the aluminium casing can be slippy in the hand
