A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

In my opinion, the model is quite consistent with the class of budget devices of a well-known brand. For a fastidious user, it is clearly not suitable, of course there are drawbacks. In addition, competitors in the face of Xiaomi and realme offer better specifications for this price. However, if you do not expect miracles from this device and there is a desire to buy a phone of a well-known brand, then you can take it. It's the lack of Samsung Pay that frustrates me the most. The rest is not critical.

Pros

Large screen without "cutouts" and "bangs"; the memory is not super, but fast enough (for this class of devices); support 2sim + memory card; the modern One UI 2.1 shell is the same as in older models; the battery lasts a long time; VoLTE and WoWIFI support; the presence of a connector 3.5; 2 microphones; the rear fingerprint scanner works better and more accurately than the sub-screen one (on the A71, for example); the camera matches the device class.

Cons

The screen is of course budget (not AMOLED and obviously worse than, for example, the A51 / A71 both in brightness and in color reproduction); the sound is deaf, there is little volume reserve; no Samsung Pay (only it currently supports MIR Amazon); shell functions are cut down (no sidebar, etc.); Naturally, there is no recording of conversations (however, older models do not have either).

It went out after a couple of days. It is solved by clamping the power button and the sound is down until it is turned on. This problem did not occur again.
