Review: Still getting used to it. I delayed setting it up as I knew I would be needing to reset so many things.Why do they have to have buttons on and phone swiping on the other side? Like many upgrades by many companies to make things seem novel they put things in opposite positions. So S8 everything on the left S24 all on the right. So retraining my muscle memory at this time. Which has resulted in me accidentally hanging up on calls as well.I upgraded from an S8 which I did really like. But the battery is not great. I have a few basic apps on here. And the battery doesn’t last as long as I would like. Been using the phone for the last 1 1/2 hours. Using google photos, listening to a podcast and now on here doing a review. And already at 85%. I am certain past phone batteries have lasted longer.On of my motivators was the camera. Which is excellent if your lighting is good. I take a lot of nature photos and it’s great for that so far.But once again, if the lighting isn’t perfect a selfie with my son isn’t very good indoors and as a result spotted photos. I haven’t been able to fool with the settings to improve the quality. So we will see but I have my doubts. As past phone wouldn’t adjust to inbetween lighting either. It had to be either dark or light indoors nothing in between.

Review: Not the most impressive thing. Battery life is meh at best and bad at worst, even on power saving mode it barely lasts a day. I really don’t care about the camera which seems to be a huge focus of smartphone companies these days for whatever reason, but camera is good, worse than an iphone still. performance is decent, though it overheats quickly when playing highly demanding games and becomes quite uncomfortable to hold. Brightness is alright, but nothing spectacular, still hard to see under full sunlight. UI is ok nothing special, I wish I could rename apps, there are a few quirks here and there, but no bugs, overall solid. Doesn’t come with a charging brick so fast charging is only as good as your current brick, no headphone jack of course which is annoying. Face recognition is very hit and miss to the point where I don’t really get to use it most of the time since finger print is always a quicker option, but it’snot as fast as it gets in that department either. Size is bigger than I’d like it to be, but to each their own.Honestly, I expected a lot more from this phone compared to the asus zenfone 8 that I replaced with it after it died 2 years in, the only reason I got it is because Asus has abismal customer support and only 2 years of OS updates, both of which matter to me a lot because I like keeping my phone for more than 2 years, but honestly this phone is great on paper, but is over priced and not the best in practice, the Zenfone 8 beats it in a few (yet important) categories: much better battery life, snappier face recognition (actually usable), headphone jack, power brick smaller package, sd expandable. The improvements here are incrimental at the detriment of (in my opinion) essential things, and for twice the price. The only thing really going for it is the software support and the customer support.

Review: The short video is blurry sent through MMS message. I switched back to my old Huawei phone using the same “sim” card, no problem sending through MMS message. So it it is not the carrier problem, but Samsung. There are lot of threads in Google mentioning the same problems with Samsung.I am keeping the phone because it’s a good value.

Review: If your buying this phone it’s probably because you’ve had one before, so no surprises here & it’s as advertised. I triple checked the box, contents and IMEI # and verified that this is in fact a real Samsung and not a knockoff, even tho it’s cheap. Enjoy the savings! This version only has 1 sim card slot tho, and there is no micro usb slot which is super ghetto. But because it supports wireless charging I upped it to 4 stars. It also claims to be water resistant which is how I ended up needing a new phone but I’m not going to deliberately test that feature.
