Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

To replace my old s8 plus, I preordered the 4.02. Even with the s8plus, I swore off purchasing a Samsung phone, but after researching the market, I discovered that the options are limited if we exclude Chinese companies (well, I don't like them). If not for three major BUTs, the phone would not be awful overall: Autonomy: After charging the phone to 100% and using it to browse for 30 minutes on Chrome, 84% remained, i.e., charging vanishes before your very eyes. While it appears that page-browsing is not the most resource-intensive activity, it does seem to heat up. At the same time, in the previous use case, it also warmed up so that it was uncomfortable to hold in your hands. Third While this status bar is a static one color, there are no issues; however, with a dynamic color change, it is visible. This occurs all in the same chrome on the screen directly under the camera when scrolling through the pages. It is also unclear what the issue is in the end - whether it is with Chrome or the phone (I neglected to say that Chrome is the same; I can't even eat it; there is always some sort of magical mistake). There might of course be a problem in this, but I'll look into it. The phone was used in a custom Samsung silicone case, connected to a Galaxy Watch 3. The connection is still sluggish with the Tinkoff operator. The air mode can only be activated and deactivated. Two years later, nothing has changed.

Pros
  • speed and style
Cons
  • Autonomy, gets hot even while you're just surfing.
