I brought this phone for my father. He had an old phone that would not keep a charge. Straight out of the box, it set up easily. The fingerprint reader works well. The facial recognition was fast and works really well. And now, he has a phone that does not need to be charged every two hours. He spends a lot of time on it, usually on FB, watching videos, and listening to music. He can go through a full day and still have a good 65% charge by bedtime.
I am not sure why people are complaining about where the phone was made. MOST ALL PHONES are made in China or Vietnam. They ALL START at this version - international, then the American phone companies add in all their crappy bloatware and lock them to their networks. It's a scam and, I believe, we are the only country that does that.
You set the phone up the same way. It has loads of languages to select. And, you're done. Nothing but a nice, clean phone. It doesn't have 5G, it's still an LTE phone (4G). Not a lot of phones currently work on the 5G network so this phone should be good for some time. Just because phone companies advertise their 5G networks on TV, doesn't mean you phone is compatible. Currently, there are a handful of phones that are 5G and not every "5G city" actually has "good" 5G service.
It comes with a charging brick in the box. So, mid-tier phone has brick, high end version? NO. It actually kinds looks like the newer Samsung S21 from the camera hump. It's a lot prettier in person than the picture.
Overall, this is a great phone for a great price. You are getting a Samsung phone that is large, has all the features you want and none of the phone company excess weighted garbage installed. If you want a newer phone, don't need or want the high end specs, or high end price, I would recommend this phone to you. It looks good, it sounds good, and it comes at a reasonable price.
