Nu sunt foarte mulțumit

Posted: Sep 04, 2023, 11:40 AM

Phone owned for less than a year

Este a doua oară când am probleme cu difuzorul. L-am trimis o dată la samsug fiindcă este în garanție, au spus ca mi l-au schimbat, dar după 3 luni a început din nou sa se audă rău. L-am cumpărat cu 1300 de euro și sincer regret ca am investit atâția bani într-un telefon care nu cred ca merită. Am avut s 10 ,însă cu ăla nu am avut nici un fel de probleme. Sincer nu știu ce alt model și marca aș putea cumpăra să fie ok

Better than I expected

Phone owned for less than a month

This my 5th Samsung phone and they keep getting better with each generation, I traded in my Note 20 Ultra after almost 2 years of flawless performance and was no disappointed. The camera is what did it for me, the quality is fantastic, colors are deep and rich and the ability to zoom is fantastic. I know people are not happy that it ships without any charger but I don't think it is a big deal, I purchased the 45W charger and I can't believe how fast it charges. The large battery has not left be stranded and to put it bluntly it is just the best phone I have ever owned. Samsung keep up the great work.
