I wouldn't say expected, they have made some poor performing phones in the past (for various definitions of "made").

But my point was more that on paper it doesn't look like much. It doesn't have waterproofing, it's not "best in class" in anything except the camera, it runs software which has less "on paper" features than other brands, it doesn't have an SD card or removable battery, etc...

But when you actually go to use it, it's a night and day difference between it and other devices.
