I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

You should not expect a miracle from the camera after reading / watching reviews. Only light will save your photos. Or, of course, long exposure. But this is already the presence of a tripod, straight arms and a brain (for the correct setting of the manual mode). Although that's another story. Also, the implementation of the wide-angle mode is a little unclear, which must be additionally extracted in a separate file. You could just make it a separate item on the camera menu.
I would like a slightly more decent sound (a good dedicated chip) and still not such "balalaikas" (in the sense of headphones) in the kit. There are too many high and blurry scenes in them. The flagship is all the same, and to everything, the most expensive in the line.
Well, there should be energy optimization. It just MUST be! Please pass this on to the manufacturer.
I also recommend changing your wardrobe to jeans (trousers), jackets with deeper pockets and purchase covers with an anti-slip coating.
But! With all the shortcomings of this device, its advantages undoubtedly outweigh.

Pros

- Screen. He is great in every way. Bright, with the correct color reproduction, black black (sorry for the tautology) and the "right size" (at least for my purposes). Reading is pure pleasure! I am not a fan of the curved screen, so I can’t put it in the “plus”, but accidental pressing of the side faces is completely absent. The size, of course, is not for one hand, but the convenience of working on a large screen covers this inconvenience. - The speed of work. Everything is clear here: the device does not freeze, does not slow down and does not hang under any circumstances. - Stylus. A versatile and handy tool "for everything". Without him now "as without hands." It is very convenient in learning (translations, text recognition, etc.), it is much more convenient than a finger in performing everyday tasks, as well as writing, sketching and diagrams. The software for working with it is very conveniently made. -Camera. Tries to "pull out" complex (by lighting) scenes. Naturally, this almost never works out, but it tries. It has a lot of settings, ready-made scenes and "buns". The mode with post-tuning bokeh is very interesting.

Cons

- Battery! This is a pain! This is laughter (over optimization)! This is a constant fear of being left without a charge at the right time . The past experience of devices with almost the same screens (a difference of 0.2 inches does not count) suggests that with due diligence of programmers, a smartphone works almost twice as long with a much smaller battery. So: the manufacturer's programmers scored on battery optimization. 4000mA should last well beyond 6 hours of screen. And they don't work. The flagship of another manufacturer with a wife with a 3100 battery works TWO times longer. "Fuel to the fire" is added by a bunch of software from the manufacturer that cannot be disabled without root. All this does not allow the smartphone to "sleep" when necessary and constantly strains the battery during operation. In short: the miracle did not work, although all the prerequisites for this were and it should have happened. -Massiveness: The device is too massive and brutal. I am sure that 10kA will be more convenient and attractive, but this is again a complaint against the manufacturer. It seems that the departments of software optimization and design are in Samsung on the same floor))) Unlike previous flagships, in the first month I grabbed three deep scratches on the screen. Although the algorithm for using and carrying has not changed at all. Here is such a "new" GorilovoeGlass. I don’t write about the price, everything is clear here. And considering that I bought EAC, it’s doubly clear)
