Good phone if the price is right
Phone owned for more than a year

The phone is okay, just it should be okay if the price is a lot cheaper. No charger in a "Fun Edition" Is not Fun at all. Hopefully Samsung is doing something about this. I love the color of the smartphone is so calm and pretty. The battery and charger is a duo bad combination that really put this phone review down a lot. Please consider having higher storage too as many phone with $700 now are having 512GB+ and used the latest 7 Gen series in the future.

Amazing Phone for Weather Spotter and Ham Radio Operator.
Phone owned for less than a year

I did get it on sale. So far it is quite snappy and the Snapdragon 888 performs well. I feel this is a very stable phone so far. The Battery with adjustments made on my part gives me about 30%-40% of Battery usage Daily. It seldom even gets warm.

As of 1/26/2023 (six months later), I am pleased with the phone. It is very stable and the UI is so amazing. The audio quality via the AKG Earphones is awesome especially Dolby ATMOS enabled. The 6 GB of RAM with the Virtual RAM increased to 6 GB makes the phone super snappy! I do suggest a case and screen protector for long life. I will be able to get four Software/Firmware Updates to include up to Android 16.

The Display and touch sensitivity, even with a glass screen protector is excellent. I have the Vivid mode enabled and adjusted the white balance down a bit, it looks fantastic.

** On 3/6/2023, I received the 5.1 Update coning in at about 1.5 GB. I will evaluate and post my experience here**
