New Favorite Galaxy Device

Posted: Sep 11, 2021, 7:45 PM

Phone owned for less than a month

Phone is amazing features intuitive enough and very convenient having a smaller screen and a larger screen on the fly.

Favorite galaxy yet.

The selfie cameras and power button sensor feature are my only minor complaints.

There is some great benefits that come with these extremely tiny flaws, but of course it helps to set expectations.

I've explained the camera issue in my rating, however the power sensor feature in samsungs advanced features is very 8nnovative, but accidental swipes create little frustrations just like any phone.

Overall, the fold, build, quality, and experience are exceptional.

Selfie cams, but the selfie feature with the regular cameras offer a great workaround and the best selfies, just less convenient.

My Favorite Phone

Posted: Sep 03, 2021, 7:19 PM

Phone owned for less than a month

Exactly the same size as the 2nd. The 2nd was perfect for me so imagining anything different might have thrown me off. Thankfully the 3rd isn't too far different. Some noticeable hardware upgrades. Better camera setup/ cleaner. Edges of phone are flat with the Samsung famous screen curve. Buttons in same spot, not the mic though.
