    One of the best smartphones today

    Simply one of the best smartphones at the moment, especially when you want a compact one (but not only!). All the reviews are unanimous on the Internet. Only downside: the price! It's worth a small sum, but for me who wanted a modern smartphone that wasn't the size of a fridge, it's entirely worth the cost.
