Great product, a pleasure to use.

February melancholy attacked, I wanted to change something, I decided that I could get a better camera in my phone - with an optical zoom, and also a wide-angle one so that I can take good pictures in the dark (I need to take pictures of dark small rooms at work), there is a night mode, it works well and with a width, and he says turn me on, the Samsung interface generally likes to prompt - this is a good feature. And a chipset with a faster modem. Modem? Yeah, I had a snapdragon 720G, it has a 4G download speed of 800 Mbps (this is theoretical, but practical 2-3 times less), but here it’s 2-3 times higher (somewhere they write that 1650 Mbps, and somewhere - what is 3000 Mbps), and even at home I caught the download speed in 4G - 300 Mbps (more than LAN), and the download increased 5 times - up to 50 Mbps. I often work from my dacha and distribute the Internet, which is very important for me. And if there were speed records in 4G of more than 1 Gbps, then maybe I’ll catch it somewhere, this is a flagship chipset and it has almost the fastest modem in it. By the way, high-speed modems are also installed in phones with 5G, so it makes sense to buy them for 4G as well. In general, after xiaomi - samsung does not look so convenient in the interface, and it is not convenient to unlock, and it's scary for the screen, they are flimsy on samsung, and as before I think that xiaomi makes the best phones, but this time for 20-30 thousand, nothing with an optical zoom was found, and then there was also the dex mode and a high-speed modem. By the way, before that, I ordered redmi note 11 pro 5G on Ali on the day of release, but they delayed the shipment, then they lowered the price by 2 thousand, it became somehow offensive and canceled the order, now I don’t regret it at all.

Pros

Nice screen, it looks not like a screen, but like something real, like a picture printed on paper lying on the table. The sound from the lower speaker has bass, high frequencies are very clear and rich, only high frequencies come from the phone speaker, but also clear and rich - the stereo sound is normal. But the sound is neutral, the bass is not oversaturated as they like in jbl, the high frequencies also don’t squeak just like that, but only when they are in the audio track, but I like it brighter. My wife has poco x3 nfc, that's where the low frequencies are much stronger and sound like in jbl, I like the sound there more, it sounds like a powerful one. The screen is 6.5 inches, before that I had a redmi note 9 pro, it was 6.67 inches, I did not feel any difference in size, not in the size of the screen, not in the size of the gadget. In terms of interface speed, it can feel faster by 5-10% compared to the above-mentioned phones, but this is hardly noticeable. A very cool feature is the Dex mode, you can connect your phone via miracast or via an hdmi adapter to a monitor or TV, via usb, or wifi to a computer - it is displayed on screens almost like windows, everything runs in windows, and the phone screen can be used as a touchpad - in general, a complete replacement of a PC for entertainment purposes, and unlike huawei, everything is already finished here and works perfectly. The main camera takes pictures worse than 64 megapixels for xiaomi smartphones, the picture is not so clear, not so bright and smaller - 12 megapixels, and there you get 16 megapixels, and with the maximum crop, you want to increase it by 1.5 more. Night photos are much better with the Samsung, but this is the result of the software, Samsung tried very hard here. The 3x optical zoom is also well extended programmatically and you can confidently use the 10-12x zoom, these are straight binoculars. In general, because of this zoom, I bought it, crops with 64MP and 108MP do not give such quality. Video writes in 4K 60 fps with opt. stub. I managed to buy it for 30k, it's kind of old))

Cons

A 12 megapixel camera is, of course, not enough in the modern world, given that 8k TVs are already being sold, they need 2 times more resolution, but this is a problem for the entire industry. The main camera with 12 megapixels in complete darkness and night mode shows only 6400 ISO, although the photos are bright, bright and clear. In redmi note 9 pro, the 64 MP sensor shows more than 50,000 ISO, but the photo at night is much worse and especially in clarity. Those. Samsung saved a lot on the photosensor, but programmatically did some miracles. After redmi and mid-range poco, charging here is very slow - 1.5 times slower, even charging them with 33W chargers is not habitually long. There are very few cases, there are a lot of cheap disposable cases for 200-300, but it’s hard to find normal ones like dux ducis or nillkin, and they are only black and dark blue (I have an orange phone and why shouldn’t it be orange). The original covers are very expensive and there is no orange color either. A fingerprint on the screen is cool, but not convenient after the sensor in the power button, it just barely touched and the phone unlocked, and then press the button, and then on the screen. I got used to turning on the screen with a double tap, and then he recognizes the face, but only in 70-80% of cases, it's strange, like I don't have a split personally :). A very confusing menu with settings, sometimes you want to change something and look for it for 5 minutes.
