I have got the white sandstone 5T now for a little more then 24 hours.
The grip on this 5T is a very, very nice one...solid and not slippery at all (compared to the black 5T).
Really like the design of this white sandstone a lot. I usually dont use cases, hate most of them.
I could say this phone is the best one with a metal backplate, usually these metal backplates smartphones are very slippery
With the black 5T you wete holding a soap bar, with this white sandstone I never have this feeling.
The red color, combined with the white black and sides and black front a red slider is nice design, imho.
Very happy with this phone!
