It's only been a week, but the phones are great!
Camera's a little iffy in regular photo mode.. No better than my last phone which was 5 years old. However, the portrait mode is amazing! Love the quality! Even in low light, it's great!
I use my phone to take pictures, so it's important for them to look good. I don't use the flash or anything.
I'm not big in selfies so I can't really judge the front facing camera other than it does facial recognition as expected.
The fingerprint reader is frustrating. It takes a few tries, but finally unlocks the phone. I've read this is a known issue with this phone. - A fingerprint reader on the side or back would be better instead this one is on the bottom of the screen.. If you don't use the fingerprint reader to unlock your phone, this isn't an issue. XD
Battery life has been good. I charge it every other day. I don't play any games so I can't say how well the battery life is for that. I only surf the web and shop.
I find the keyboard is better on this phone. Less "missed" button presses or wrong button presses.
The sound is good. The phone gets quite loud if you need it to.
There are a lot of different sounds to choose for the ringtone/alarm notifications/regular notifications. I don't love most of them.. They're all kinda sauntery and not very upbeat like I think a ringtone should be or alarm sound. Feels like for a child in my opinion or those that can't handle loud sounds. I understand but this is a phone. I want to jump up if I have a call or need to be somewhere, you know?
Anyways, the screen is quite good. Very nice colors. Oh and you can change the colors too if you'd like. It comes with a vibrant color option, but I turned it to normal. The other was too saturated and looked like the colors were bleeding. I did a quick change, not a thorough one like you can do.
The flashlight has a few modes for brightness. I only use mine to help the cat find toys lost under the couch so I don't need it super bright, but if you need it, it's an option. :)
I do recommend getting a screen protector and phone protection. The backing is plastic. I actually like this because it means the back is less likely to break. Yes, the phone feels cheaper and looks it, but with a case, you wouldn't know. I also like the film protectors for the screen over glass. Again, it won't get damaged as much as a glass protector would. - I would recommend this especially for kids.
That being said we did have to return one phone after only 2 days. I think it was the membrane under the power button. The button got stuck pressed in and we were able to get it back out, but then it was loose and rocked back and forth. We returned it and purchased a new phone, exactly the same which arrived in 2 days. It's just like the others. When you have a family that needs phones, you tend to get everyone the same.
To sum it up, these are good phones, no complaints so far. It was easy to setup and add all my usual apps. However, if you need to reset the phone to factory, you need to setup a Samsung account to do so. I hear that Apple has a similar thing. (I've never owned an iPhone because of it's restrictions.)
Also, the phone does appear to have a micro SD card holder on the opposite side of the SIM card holder. I haven't tried this yet, but will soon.
