Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

In a word - extremely practical, but not for everybody. I did not like OneUI (although most people are delighted with it), I would choose a 2K panel instead of 120 Hz (perfect vision), I like rounded edges, but here they are flat, I frankly did not like plastic. It seems like a flagship, but you don’t seem to feel it.
If all this does not bother you, then take it.
The phone from the start of sales (about 3 months) has lost 30k in price, which is sooooo much, even xiaomi flagships do not fall in price like that. Why, even Note 10+ is more expensive, and it will soon be 2 years old. If you do not plan to change, then plus, if you are going to sell in a year or two, then minus

Pros

The 120Hz screen is great. Always On is also a useful and beautiful feature The processor this time came out just right, it doesn’t get as hot as the 888 and generally gives the desired performance. Everything that can fly, flies. I even decided to check how Genshin Impact is doing at ultra settings of about 30-50 frames, which is nonsense for the Exynos processor (even iPhones and the coolest flagships are blown away in this game). Cameras - I liked both the wide and the main camera, in terms of video shooting this is probably the best device for android, the front camera is right for bloggers - 4k60fps - great. I noticed that on the phone screen the pictures seem too bright and oversaturated, but on other phones it looks more natural (if you don't like it, turn on the "natural colors" mode in the screen settings) Vibro is certainly not an iPhone, but something similar, the phone feels very pleasant in the hand, it works throughout the system Speaker - loud, clear, stereo, even bass IP 68 - you don’t have to worry about dropping your phone into water (but behind the screen, even if it’s flat and mega-strong, I wouldn’t count and stick armor) Dimensions - the phone is about the size of an iPhone 12, very comfortable to hold, I can handle it with one hand The under-display fingerprint scanner is what I really liked. If you accurately hit, it works almost always, and also very quickly. In order not to miss, I recommend enabling Always On.

Cons

1. The same screen - apparently taking care of burn-in or preventing battery discharge, the brightness in the sun feels like 500-600 nits, sometimes it gets brighter for a couple of minutes, but quickly reduces the brightness. In general, a compromise. And the panel here is FullHD +, I personally like the Note 9 screen more (there is 2K), although it is not so smooth, but this is a matter of taste 2. If you take it, then only 256 GB, because one system occupies 32 (!) GB. More than windows 10 on a desktop computer. To make pictures and videos take up less space, enable encoding in h.265 in the settings (but older devices may not support it) 3. Fast charging is not so fast (30W), the phone gets very hot with it. And do not forget that in the flagships, everyone suddenly began to take care of the environment sharply and removed the charger. You will have to buy, because it is unlikely that you have adapters with Type-C output lying around at home. In general, the battery lasts for 5 hours with my super active use, most likely most will have more, but autonomy corresponds to the size of the device 4. Plastic! On the one hand, if the phone is in a case, it is not so important, but when you pick up the phone, you do not feel that the phone is expensive. In addition, it is light (it is difficult to call this a disadvantage, also a matter of taste). In general, I personally do not have enough glass. But it won't break 5. 8K marketing is pure water, the video is of course detailed, but there are not even 24 frames, 15 at best. It's the only thing the phone can't handle yet
