The phone looks good, I got to give it to them.
This phone is not for the developing world where things like cloud storage are totally impractical.

FromChinaWithLove, 01 Sep 2015I'm feel sorry for people that gonna buy this because of the "space/cloud"! And stup... moreNo one is stupid, only different opinions or likings. The concept of cloud is already there but one place for all storage (100GB) is and could be very appealing to many people. I use a lot of storage on my phone to store many things, one would be my music, perhaps others don't. Finally, please refrain from calling people stupid, we all are collectively colorful I say. Last but not least, this phone looks pretty darn good.
I'm feel sorry for people that gonna buy this because of the "space/cloud"! And stupid people are stupid no matter what, sorry to this too. But it's true. As for storages/space/cloud, there is MS Onedrive(15GB to begin with, turn on camera backup and another 15GB added), Google drive( 15GB), Google's photo(the app, Idk about the size of the storage as I don't use it), Dropbox( just 2GB not much, but better than nothing) and there are many many more these kind of cloud storages app. I don't understand why people like to keep so much in their phone. I only find people who don't understand how to use a SMARTPHONE are usually the one that run out of space!

Lovely and thoughtful - just one flaw, no wireless charging, so my 3 wireless chargers go to waste, so keeping the still excellent Nexus 5.

i don't think it's realistic to have cloud storage as most worldwide mobile data plans have data limits. this is further compounded by the fact of the limitations in mobile data transfer rates are still woefully slow compared to a handful of countries with excellent mobile data transfer rates.

I thought the cloud concept was already there!!..But 100GB is indeed attractive, but would like to know how secure that would be!!

It's a nice marketing scheme to revolve around the storage facilities, however it's not something particularly revolutionary, and will need to have perfect execution to be actually worthwhile. The specs are decent, but nothing exceptional, so unless the cloud storage has something which will make it excel greatly against large/expandable storage, then this phone will seem very niche.
