Nice processor, but crappy screen. 720p @ 5.5 inches? I know they got to cut back for costs, but why have so much processing power when you arent pushing any pixels? Other than that though, it looks to be good specs and excellent price.
Removable Battery, (W)CDMA/GSM, LTE Capable and does appear to have a MicroSD slot. If this phone does make it across the pond at $150 USD, kinda want.
Edit: I do feel that a 5.5" Screen is a "tad" too large though.
Looks like a really good phone. 5.5 is perfect. I cant stand smaller phones once you use 5.5. Dont judge with just trying a phone at the store and thinking its too big.

You would get used to the 720p screen. It's better then most phones out there. Besides, it looks like they are using a lower res one to save on battery power.

5.5 is normally just a tad on the big size for many people, but still usable. Those phones though have pretty small bezels which keeps the physical size down so you can still hold it. This phone l;ooks like it has somewhat large bezels, so that 5.5" screen is going to be a pretty big phone.

I mean come on, you have a 50 inch 1080p TV and you complain about the resolution of a 6 inch screen.
I would rather have double the performance and battery life on a 720p six inch screen, than have a 4k phone that lags, stutters, and dies quickly because you have to feed all those pixels.

Didn't realize I was on AverageConsumer.com forums not Overclock.net for a second.
But in all seriousness, no one mention 4k. You comparison of 720p to 4k (ignoring the wanted 1080p) would be me saying, "I would rather have 1080p six inch screen, than have a 320p that is so small and pixelated".
4.5 inch screen @ 720p? No problem, more than happy with it.
5.5 inch screen @ 720p? I'd rather have 1080p. Just like ona 24" monitor I like 1080p and wouldn't like 1080p on a 27".

Would be great if it was in 4.5" - 5" size. But either way there is nothing better available for verizon. Screen resolution is not relevant. Instant buy for me.
I have a 6.1" 720p screen on my Ascend Mate 2 4G LTE, and while not jaw dropping like, say, a note 4, it's still very nice looking. This phone looks awesome. Would love to get one if not for me, for a friend of mine. Too bad it looks like it's an India exclusive for right now.
720p isnt a big deal especially when you consider we mostly all use 1080p on 20+ inch monitors
The note 2 was 5.5" 720p and next to a 1080p note 3 wasnt very different.
Its only $150
otherwise gladly spend $700 for a note 4. Its less than what I reecently sold my used note 2 on cm11 for lol (sold for $200)
