The quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product to my friends.

After some time of use, I realized that even budget smartphones from Samsung (last time I used SGalaxy J7 2022 for 12k, interrupted until the release of S10 +, which I ended up not really liking because of the design) are very cool in terms of user experience. Samsung One UI is simply amazing and very convenient, lightweight, functional, beautiful shell with really convenient and useful services and applications, which I have been trying to find a worthy replacement in Oxygen OS for a very long time using third-party applications from Google Play. Although, no doubt, there are also fans of naked Android, but I personally like it when the manufacturer thought about the buyer in advance and made using his smartphone as pleasant and convenient as possible.
I can’t say anything about the quality of the photo, because I’m not a professional; The camera is there and it's cool.
With 3.5mm, it’s generally straight tin, it’s terribly uncomfortable to walk with these adapters. Yes, and the phone is big, in your pocket with the headphones connected, most likely, it will loosen and the one and only connector on the phone (USB Type-C) will quickly become unusable. This shortcoming is very annoying.
As a result, considering that I took it for 43k (and not for 60k as S10 + with off. warranty) with a 2-year warranty from the store, I am generally satisfied with the phone. The technical characteristics will probably last for 5 years, but personally it is not very convenient for me to use it. I'll probably change it as soon as Samsung releases a really good flagship. For many, this is the smartphone of the year, so be it. For me personally, it's just an excellent (apart from the lack of a 3.5mm jack) hardware platform.

Pros

• Screen. This is perhaps the best thing I have dealt with in a smartphone. QHD + 90Hz is just a bomb!) And if you add the fact that it is also huge (6.67") and frameless with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9, then there are no words at all, it's very cool and impressive) • Memory. 8GB of RAM and 256GB of ROM - this is straight in excess, 100% should be enough for 3+ years. • Performance. Snapdragon 855, 8GB RAM + fast ROM (UFS 3.0), lightweight Oxygen OS shell just work wonders for performance. Everything is smooth, clear, colorful everywhere. Impressions are simply incredible. I am sure that such performance will also be enough for 3 years for sure, and most likely even more. • Autonomy. Despite the fact that at QHD @ 90Hz the phone lives (for me) for 7 hours, the ability to quickly (30-45 minutes max.) Charge the phone up to 100% using fast charging completely eliminates this drawback. Also, I have an external battery, so autonomy is not a problem for me at all. • Unlock. The fingerprint scanner and face unlock are sooooo fast. Direct instant action. • Sound modes. Hardware switching between 'sound-vibration-silent' modes using a special button on the case is very convenient. • NFC. He is, and it's cool. Contactless payments are extremely convenient. And you can check the balance on a public transport ticket right on your phone.

Cons

• Dimensions. The phone is very big and very heavy. Pockets need to be appropriate, in some poses the hands will get tired very quickly. • Lack of notification indication, Always-On-Display or its equivalent. After all, the display is also Amoled, like that of Samsung. For me personally, Alway-On-Display was an incredibly convenient feature, but here there is no indication of notifications on the lock screen at all (there is not even a color indicator), which is very inconvenient, you have to constantly interact with the phone to check notifications. • No 3.5mm jack. With such dimensions! I'm not a fan of wireless electronics, because. I even feel how it affects my health (for example, my head hurts, in general it somehow becomes unwell), and I generally consider wearing a source of radiation of radio waves (Bluetooth) on my head a bad idea, therefore, even before buying, I thought for a long time, Should I take it because of the lack of 3.5mm or not. There is no adapter included, by the way. Therefore, I have already managed to suffer with this, bumping into adapters without the support of micro and buttons from headphones or marriage. • Shell. Oxygen OS is almost naked Android, in some moments it is simply adapted for this smartphone, and in some places everything is too damp (especially with the camera, where there is not even a resolution for shooting in 16:9, but only 1:1, 4:3 and 19.5 :9) and a lot is missing. It still annoys me that the volume of notifications is synchronized with the volume of the call, giving it a separate volume will not work. Discomfort after Samsung's One UI is strongly felt to me. • Safety. The print works quickly, but it is optical, so do not rely on super protection if you are a rich or influential person. The face scanner, in principle, in all smartphones does not provide high-quality protection, although it also works quickly. But personally, I'm fine with it. • microSD. There is no slot. An uncritical minus for those who do not carry a bunch of movies or other heavy files on their phone (256 GB of built-in should be more than enough for everyday needs), but the fact itself is that there is no slot.
