Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023
This phone is huge and weighs in a good bit more than my last phone. Battery life seems to be about the same as what I had. Lots to be said about this phone.
Camera is pretty dang nice. There are some strange 'glitches' when it transfers between lenses. Even though this is Android and I have been using Android, there is a ton to learn to use the camera.
Screen is very clean and nice.
Finger print reader with a screen protector is kind of hit and miss. The detectors is behind the screen. Not sure how they work that magic but its kind of cool. Make sure you set your pin first.
Reception. This seems to be pretty good on t mobile. I was able to just take my sim card from my old phone and insert it into this phone... no need to go to the store to transfer the account. Copied the data from my old phone using a usb cable in 10ish minutes. No problems there.
All the critical apps seem to be working like before. Some needed to be re-setup. Had to reconnect to our WIFI networks.
Very disappointed that you cannot use a micro-SD card. Especially when you see the price difference to get something like 1T of storage. Its a bit ridiculous to have a 200 M pixel camera and not allow for user supplied storage. In fact, its really really lame.
The weight and size of the camera takes a bit to get used to. Its only like an inch longer and 1/3 inch wider, but wow what a difference that makes.
The speaker(s) are really good. There is kind of a spatial sound on this phone.
The phone is pretty fast for everything I have done, processor wise.
The s-pen its really cool...i have been using it as a remote trigger for the phone.
The phone surface is pretty slick (as in a little slippery) so I highly recommend a case.
Magsafe is a cool feature. There is a magnetic attachment point over the wireless charging. With the right case, you can do several things with this, like attach a second battery with no wires, just by placing it behind the case. You can add a kick-stand, wallet, etc.
Customization is pretty solid on the phone. Seems like you can customize pretty much anything.
Blutooth pairing is pretty simple and have had no problems here.
Overall, this is a good phone. Plan on taking a week or so to explore all the different features.
