I don't write a lot of product reviews on Amazon, but the reviews I read helped me so I thought I'd add mine to the mix.
I was upgrading from the Huwaei P30 pro, and my main things I was looking for was good camera, fast operating system, decent battery, and decent size. It ticks all the above.
The camera is as excellent as you read, I've taken some amazing photos and the editing software seems amazing (I think I've just scratched the surface). At its time (2019) the P30 was seen as a front runner in camera phones and I can see a marked difference.
I really like the operating system, it takes a while to learn (and I still am) but it makes a lot of things a lot easier. Initially the info bar at the top of the home screen annoyed me but now I quite like it. What I also don't like is it doesn't have bloatware - just the Google stuff I usually use, there's not some map app I won't use. What I can't speak to is gaming - I don't play games and not sure what it would be like powerwise for them but for everyday Apps news, mail it is pretty snappy.
The battery (and charging time) are very good. I can go a day taking loads of photos and I'll still be on 30 something % at the end on the day. Word of warning though, the phone only comes with a charging cable not plug socket (I've since learnt all phones have to do that) what it did mean is I had to go out and buy a charger as the new USB didn't fit the chargers I had.
Size wise for me personally it is great. I wanted something which was a bit smaller but was still a decent size to watch films etc. This does it for me. I'm a big guy with big hands and I don't find the keyboard too small.
So based on the above it's a great phone and I'm happy with my purchase.
