- The display is an LCD screen that can be read much better in the sun and white is really white and not yellowish. This is a particularly clear when one considers the LCD display in direct comparison next to the AMOLED display. Taste is also here always in the eye of the beholder, and disturbed me the yellow does not really know the more bad readability of AMOLED displays in the sun.
Water and dust resistant to the IPS 67 standard. Rain and dust in the area make the thing now nothing more from, so far so good. Shock resistant, it is not and I can only recommend to buy the perfect cover for outdoor use. This I did and now I feel ready for my tours.
The physical buttons may be a matter of taste, but it makes the device to lengths better handling than the original version! The buttons are not illuminated, but that's not necessary, because they are great to feel! After a few hours you get used to it and in the dark of the fingers is then automatically the correct key. In winter my operation with gloves is determined also be much easier, so I say now times.
Are there any disadvantages? Clearly yes, slightly.
The speaker sounds quieter and not particularly clear. I think that you had as a compromise, after the phone is waterproof.
The camera function has been optimized to the water mode option, so far so good. But why one saves the Dual Shot function? This nice option has unfortunately relegated to the Active. I can not understand quite.
Conclusion: Great leisure phone for outdoor use, also available urban, with all the technical specifications, the need to bring a high-end device. Man (n) respectively woman must do without in the forest for nothing.
Enjoy the device!
