If you know what features you do or do not need on a phone, and you think this may fit the bill - it will. I paid £299 for the 8GB / 128GB version. I wouldn't pay more for the 12 / 256 as the 8GB is plenty fast.
Almost flagship quick processor. A good camera for the price, although I'm comparing it to a pixel 4 where the camera is exceptional, so a little unfair. Good all day battery life and mega quick recharging - 0 to 100% in 30 mins, but you have to use the included charger AND the cable. Colour is grey but with a blue tinge, maybe this is what Sierra means....
Screen is lovely to use....don't use the Samsung internet browser, as this isn't compatible with a smooth 90HZ refresh rate that this phone has.
Fast and responsive 2D face recognition and fingerprint reader.
The glass back feels more like plastic, but I still like it. Overall the phone is stylish and in my opinion looks better than the mid range product it is.
Screen brightness could be better in direct sunlight but it's perfectly useable......
No IP rating, but it does have OIS on the camera. And a bit heavier than I would like.
But if you're as geeky as I am you probably already know these things!
Comparing this to my ageing "top spec at the time" Pixel 4, I'm impressed and prepared to miss out on the features I really want for this price.
