if you can only buy one camera this is the one.

this little cam is the best

Pro:
- Excellent camera quality that no other smartphone can beat.  RAW can give you more details then JPEG from the body.
- Fast focusing
- 2600mAh Battery life isn't as bad as I expected
- Android 5 update readily available
- Clean OS very close to original android experience
- Speaker hole can also serve to attach a hand strap
- Hold securely with one hand
- Solid build quantity
- Distortion control is great with the 28mm lens

Con:
- Phone isn't as responsive or smooth as other android flagships, but it's acceptable to me.
- Exposed lens is a concern for longevity. I frequently touch the camera switch when putting in or pulling out of my pocket. I now use 2 step-up adapter rings (37-43 and 43-46) and an UV filter to protect it.
- The screen is dim when shooting outdoor
- When wearing polarized sunglasses, the screen is only viewable in landscape, not portrait. It make sense for camera, but not good for phone.

CM1 is for those want to have a decent camera available all the time, but don't want to carry another device other than a smart phone.
