You can remove the ads with the debloat tool or a 3rd party lockscreen app.

The snapdragon 617 is 8 a53 cores so single threaded apps can be kinda pokey

Heck of a phone at the 150$ pricepoint.
Speaker is kinda bad for music.. fine for calls.
has excellent battery life.
no fingerprint reader
no NFC
