The product can be used, I expected a little more.

The phone is generally well-made, pleasant to the touch, and loaded with high-quality hardware (except for a rather weak battery). Nevertheless, the impression is substantially ruined by the pre-installed software "from the manufacturer" on it. One message, for instance, must be removed by repeatedly poking the screen (at least three times) in different locations. Another instance is when I use a second, local SIM card in my phone to access the Internet when I'm on international roaming. The warning "You have lost data connectivity since you left your home network with data roaming switched off" however, which cannot be turned off, pops up every few minutes, and is, as is customary, completely useless, begins to appear on the phone as soon as the phone reconnects to any Wi-Fi. I did not anticipate such a "luxury" class device to have so many additional unpleasant moments in a range of pre-installed apps. In a nutshell, from what I gather, this company, sadly, lacks expertise in creating customized software. In conclusion, the hardware would receive "five," but the battery and Bixby button would receive "two," giving the overall score of three points. In other words, while you can use it, you probably would not have purchased this model if you were aware of all its flaws beforehand.

. The constantly appearing notification "You have lost data connectivity." with one of the ates indicates that the issue has been resolved, which is good. Nevertheless, it soon became apparent that the fingerprint scanner is not very good; it occasionally fails to recognize any of the registered prints, and as winter arrived, the problem only became worse. Also, I'm curious as to why they included a heart rate monitor on the phone. It makes virtually no sense because using it is so annoying. Just indulge and set it aside. Placing a larger battery would be preferable. But I adore the wireless charging feature, which, when used with a reputable charger, charges almost as quickly as a cable one.

Pros

Okay, a well-made phone case - there are no issues here: it fits in the hand comfortably, isn't a "shovel," and because there are no frames, the screen size is respectable. The screen itself is first-rate, bright, and has a resolution that may be much higher than is required. The fingerprint scanner is rather handily positioned, and it works quickly and accurately. The sound is audible and distinct. There aren't any issues with the camera either; it performs at the standard of the apparatus. The screen glass is also quite good; even after three months of carrying it in a jeans pocket, there hasn't been a scratch.

Cons

The battery might be much better; if you read from the screen a lot (rather than watching video or playing games), it could not last until the end of the day. This separate Bixby button, which can only be used to display the Bixby panel, which is absurd in and of itself, is also annoying because it is placed in such a way that you frequently press it by accident. The pre-installed (and, at the same time, non-removable) software "from the manufacturer," which is obtruded by the manufacturer with all his might even though, on average, it is significantly worse in terms of functionality and configurability than similar software on devices of well-known Chinese allies, upsets most people.
