Really pleased with this phone. Data, Apps and accounts all transferred easily from my old Samsung S8, via the Smart Switch app. There's no SD card slot included in these later Samsung S' models but this version has ample storage, meaning that the SD card data could be accommodated automatically in the transfer. The phone is a nice, manageable size and can slip into a pocket nicely, without protruding out and potentially tempting light-fingered opportunists. Altogether, so far, I'm extremely pleased with the phone's design, functionality, performance and battery life.
Got this in a Black Friday sale as there was a substantial discount, to upgrade from an almost 4 year old S10e.
It's a very nice phone - premium look and feel, decent screen size but still 'compact' as modern handsets go .. you can 'one hand' it. Screen clarity of the OLED is very good.
Performance is excellent - super snappy for everything and handles intensive tasks with ease. The battery life is also good, if you are not using it heavily you can expect 50% or more by the end of the day and even with reasonable use it generally doesn't go below about 60% for me. A massive improvement over the previous S21 model by all accounts. I don't use fast charge (to preserve longevity of the battery) so I can't comment on that. Qi wireless charging is my preferred method and very convenient.
Camera is very good - I was certainly impressed as a complete novice. Likely to be more than good enough for the average person.
The Samsung One UI actually isn't all that bad and arguably adds to functionality.
Drawbacks - No MicroSD card support so go for the 256gig version. No headphone jack .. bluetooth is fine but I have lots of great older wired phones that need an adaptor now. It still seems to be maintaining a high price despite the fact its about to be replaced - I would not have bought at the full £850 or so that was the regular price at the time.
All in all, one of the best Android phones you can get if you don't want a massive near-tablet sized slab.
I purchased this phone from the UK. It did say (Please Note that this is a European Phone) I thought that being in the UK was Europe ... So I didn't see this as a problem. When the phone arrived it had come from the US. The phone is very disappointing as it's missing quite a few features. Don't be fooled like I was! Make sure the phone you are purchasing is a UK phone if you are living in the UK.
The phone is great but considering I haven't dropped it once in the last few months I've had it and I somehow have a lot of minor scratches and another pretty deep scratch, I would highly suggest getting a screen protector. Otherwise the phone itself is perfectly fine and I have no complaints.
On my phone on and off all day long for web searches, notes, document retrieval / viewing and, yes, the occasional telephone call. Usually recharge once during the day. Important to use a fast charger, otherwise starting at 20% is threatened to take two hours 45 minutes!
Sealed, well packed, perfect condition and delivered within two days to my doorstep. The phone is amazing and the battery can last for more than one day, dual actual sim cards and an outstanding camera. Nothing to complain about.
If you like relatively small phone, but you don't want to lose flagship specs, then this is the best android phone out there. Go with the 256GB as it has the super fast 4.0 ufs storage. Battery life is superb.
