Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

There is an opinion that old batches had a common marriage of a wheelbarrow (even on the Snapdragon version) - so check with all sorts of tests, play games, actively use swipe input on the keyboard when buying.
There are also instances with a “flash” of the screen when the fingerprint scanner is opened: every time you open an application that launches a fingerprint, the screen blinks brightly with a white fill at maximum brightness - in the dark this is insanely unpleasant and should not be like that! The phone can increase the brightness of the screen when using the scanner and disable the eye protection mode - this is its feature and it is not uncommon for optical scanners, BUT the screen should not flash in the eyes.

So immediately check these two points when buying.

In my mode of operation, the phone is able to last 3-4 days (6-6.5 hours of screen time) with occasional listening to music in the background through bluetooth headphones.
A complete 15W PSU charges from 5% in about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Pros

► Great appearance: simple and tasteful. ► Excellent Samsung software and shell (not without issues, but they are minor and more a matter of habit) ► An excellent set of cameras: in addition to the main one (with OIS) - a telephoto lens (with OIS) and an extra wide angle (without OIS). Samsung software tends to sharpen, but you can see it only on the crop - you can't see it without them. The main module copes in a wide range of illumination with a good result in the car. Ultra wide-angle in the dark, it shoots well only in night mode. The telephoto lens only works in night mode in low light. Video writes well. It is possible to shoot without EIS, with EIS in 4K 60fps and, so to speak, Super-Stady Shot FullHD 30fps on the main or ultra wide-angle module. In the dark, I personally don’t really like the video - but for this price I’m already just finding fault. On the front camera, it is better to shoot in 8MP mode and at full angle. 32MP do not give anything if there is little light. And in conditions when there is little light, the front camera, in principle, gives a bad result in my opinion, but another question, but where is there a lot better for this price? ► High-speed operation due to the flagship filling (Snap 865 + LPDDR5 RAM + UFS3.1 ROM) ► USB 3.2: The phone not only has a modern type of Type-C connector, but also the transfer speed over the cable is high due to USB3. ► Pleasant sound in the speakers. It makes sense to use Dolby Atmos (Obviously, this is a marketing switch "to do as it should have been originally") Options specific to flagship devices: ► water protection IP68 (I do not specifically check and do not advise, but just in case, for the safety of the phone, let it be) ► wireless charging with the option of reverse charging (you can charge headphones, watches or other phones according to the QI standard), ► NFC + MST (not particularly relevant due to the prevalence of NFC terminals, but, nevertheless, they did not save on this), ► via USB3.2, you can transfer a picture via HDMI/DisplayPort, connect docking stations and hubs with computer peripherals, and enable DEX mode.

Cons

► No physical proximity sensor. ► Very weak and not very pleasant vibro. ► It is not possible to use the telephoto lens on the camera in PRO and portrait mode. During the day it works in "Auto" on the "x3" zoom button - at dusk and at night this button turns into a digital zoom on the main module and in reality the telephoto lens will only work in the "Night" mode. ► A trifle - but there is no 3.5 Jack connector - so the analog sound from the phone cannot be output directly anywhere: adapters must be with their own DAC. ► The clock on the AOD blinks when unlocked with a fingerprint - a feature of the implementation of the optical scanner in this phone.
