I have a SM-G900F model which is heavily modified and its performance was measured by AnTuTu with a score of 73.844, thanks to:
- No Limits 6.1 ROM (debloated)
- Boeffla Kernel 2.4 (S POWER performance profile)
- Adreno GPU Driver updated
- No Limits Tweaks

It's a great phone, even in stock. Now let's see if there will be an Android O Custom ROM for this Snapdragon 801-powered phone.

                          To the many people complaining about battery drain:
                          As with most phones this comes with all the apps Samsung/vendor wants you to have/buy/use. Without root they can not be removed, only disabled; it will be on your phone and unless it's removed/disabled it will be running, hence drain your battery.
                          Now you'll know what to do - before disabling / after removing (on rooted phones) the crap do a factory reset. A Snapdragon 801 is nothing to dislike, to date is one of the best chips made (my LG G2 uses an older version and the OnePlus One uses this same one), runs latest custom Nougat firmware without a hitch.

                                      PKM1, 30 May 2017Does it have voLTE out of the box and OTG? It has USB OTG, tested with my USB stick and mouse. I think VoLTE has to be enabled, not sure.
