Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

There were no other affordable possibilities, so I bought it in December 2022. Yes, of course, there are fantastic smartphones from Xiaomi, the same mi 10T, leading in terms of value for money, robust hardware, and 144 Hz. But, I made my own decision; I'm not a gamer but a regular user; I don't require extreme performance; I was more concerned with convenience and ease of use. Even while Xiaomi does have the mi10, that's not the same thing: Xiaomi's design is resting, the mi10T is a massive heavy brick, while Samsung's is thin, light, flat, and has an unusual design and is much easier to charge the phone without wires. In addition, no one offers amoled 120 hertz for their money, and in principle no one offers this for 40k. Neither company has any smartphones with moisture protection or wireless charging, unlike Samsung (this is important to me, since the last A8 + failed due to a bent charging port) and Plus, there aren't any annoying advertisements embedded in the interface. The phone already has a direct rival in the form of the mi11. If it sells for $600 in 2022, as it does in other countries, or even for $50-$60 thousand, this is a gun for its money and will leave no room for other smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was a huge hit, and at $45,000 to $48,000, I get everything I could want in a smartphone. No, it's not a viable option for gamers, but there's always Xiaomi and other performance-focused alternatives. The main issue is the battery, but I'm sure most people without a phone have a plan. If you like Samsung products or have never used one before, I think you should spend no more than $45k, and preferably $40k. Go toward Xiaomi if you want the best balance of affordability and performance; toward Samsung if you care about ergonomics; and toward Huawei if you want the best camera. Honor is not a recommendation of mine, but if you're looking for a middle-of-the-road option at a reasonable price, realme is your best bet. I wouldn't argue the iPhone, which is technologically behind the times, can be displayed just for the sake of bragging, especially when compared to Apple's own z flip, fold, and S21 Ultra.

Pros
  • Not surprisingly from the maker of the industry's top panels comes a flagship-level camera and a super amoled 120Hz display. Absolutely crystal clear audio and top-notch gear; I can't imagine any performance issues. Inductive charging wirelessly, waterproof to IP68 standards. Included with the full complement of features, and at this price for orders up to $45k. Crafted with a unique and fashionable aesthetic. The absence of Google services and the presence of native advertising are the only distinguishing features between huawei and xiaomi.
Cons
  • Lack of autonomy and its root cause, the processor. In response to his work in recent games, I can only remark that I played them "straight out of the box," without adjusting any of the default settings. I was startled to find out that asphalt 9 can't be played for more than 40 minutes at a time before the phone overheats to 50 degrees and crashes. Generally speaking, the mobile version of Mortal Kombat is fine, although there are times when the game becomes unplayably sluggish—for example, when charging—because the phone has become unusually hot. Personally, I'm not a gamer, so I don't see this as a drawback; I simply launched the app to check its performance. The battery life is just as impressive; if you play intensive games while charging the phone (at least with its own charger), the phone may turn off for no apparent reason. Even with regular, infrequent use, at 120 Hz, the phone's charge does not last through the day. It occurred to me that it was possible; the problem lay with all those programs running in the background. If you're playing a game and getting more than a couple of notifications at once, you're going to experience some stuttering and overheating. The only things that will help this phone last until night are turning off AOD, using 60Hz, turning on power saving mode, and not using it very often. Even though I have no complaints about the camera's quality or the pictures it takes, I did not care for the 3x or 10x zooms because it was unclear why they were taken (unless they were used as binoculars to observe anything, which they were not). I could not fully grasp how multitouch worked because it behaves strangely in games or when the phone is hot. There are no issues in the regular state, which includes viewing images and maps; issues start when playing games. While I don't mind that the phone is made of plastic, I am curious as to whether or not the back cover will shatter upon impact in the event of a drop. Moreover, I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of any drop tests conducted on the newest Samsung phones with glass, as I am very interested in viewing them.
