You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

As you noticed, almost all the shortcomings are associated with a comparison of this device with * twenty *, which served me faithfully for 3 years and was solemnly handed over to my wife (in connection with which I now envy her). I will say right away that I needed the best camera phone on the market for sane money (preferably no more than 1K euros) with Google services. At one time, *twenty* was bought for about the same money, I think that it cost even less, something around 800 euros, plus

Pros
  • - Design (this can not be taken away, yes) - Very fast charging - Optical stabilization of the camera (a definite plus, it was very lacking in the previous Chinese flagship camera phone) - High-quality display - Good optical zoom - High-quality sound (chic)
Cons
  • - Constantly dull and buggy fingerprint sensor (the most annoying flaw) - Video in 4K shoots worse than the ancient Chinese flagship of 2022 (not to name brands here, let's call it *twenty*) - Photo without zoom shoots at the level of *twenty*, definitely not better - 12 gigs of RAM, and applications open with the same delay as on the old *twenty* Below are comments on the main shortcomings that are unlikely to allow me to become an apologist for this brand.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

It still freezes (strongly): it cannot simultaneously process downloading an mp3 file, printing a PDF on a printer connected via wi-fi, paying on the market and flipping through a video on YouTube)) I even had to reboot a couple of times. And yet, I just got used to the useless additional screen with the bixbi menu, there is a new unknown "samsung free" and, after all, there is no way to remove it)). Now on business. It is really a flagship (processor, front camera, battery, glass, . and a bold

Pros
  • I liked the quality of the photos and videos. I liked the full (without failures) synchronization with the old S8 gadget, right down to the wallpaper and the placement of icons on the main screen.
Cons
  • It is heavy (very) and functionally (from what is noticeable to an amateur) is not much different from "my ex")) Seriously, it seems that over the years they have worked only on the camera and the amount of built-in memory. Nothing superfluous - it's impressive, but somehow I wanted it not to charge from the old charge for 1.5 hours, but as from the native one in 15 minutes. Many buttons in the settings are not yet active, but this minus is even intriguing, I will look forward to waiting for a software ate for several more months (or years).

Good value for money, I recommend it.

I'll write a little about my impressions after six months of owning the device. I took it through the official online store, when they gave Buds Pro and wireless charging for 3 devices as a gift. The smartphone was taken as a replacement for Note 8, in which the battery completely died after 2.5 years of use, and replacing it would not change the situation much, because. it is initially small. Dimensions and cameras in the form of a hole do not bother me. Compared to the Note 8, the screen and…

Pros
  • - design - 120Hz at maximum resolution of 3200x1440 - battery - camera zoom - performance
Cons
  • - video quality in low light - disgusting cellular connection, at least on models with Exynos - fingerprint sensor (dry finger does not recognize at all, at least kill yourself) - removal of MST technology (rarely used, but sometimes helped a lot) - removal of the pulse sensor (it would be useful in the current covid times, but it was removed after the 10th series) - removal of the retinal scanner (with the constant requirements of being in a mask, it made it possible to unlock the phone and make a payment using SPay; in winter it was also very convenient, and now it’s either a fingerprint or a PIN)

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Passed after Note20 Ultra. To be honest, I didn’t think that the difference between them is so great, or rather the difference itself is small, but it is in everything: the S21 is faster, smoother, shoots better, holds the battery perfectly, the screen is brighter, the sound quality is better, etc. In general, taking it in hand, he immediately went to me. So far, I do not see any obvious shortcomings.

Pros
  • Work speed. Camera (with an emphasis on zoom and professional shooting). Screen 120Hz, bright. Accurate color reproduction. Design. Autonomy. Possibility to use a stylus. Fast fingerprint scanner.
Cons
  • No memory card. There are few original cases with a stylus (only two of mediocre quality). Heavy, you need a reliable holder in the car. Comes with cable and instructions only. Price.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As such, there are no disadvantages, it is convenient to use.

Otherwise, I really don’t like androyd on this pipe, in my opinion, it has degraded in terms of usability. It is impossible to leave on charging to the computer on yusb. After turning off the computer, you need to reconnect the phone, or in the morning it will be dead, you can’t turn off the sound to unwanted numbers - the melody must be silent, you can’t select text from SMS - it is copied entirely, the clipboard where the past was stored has disappeared.

Pros
  • The camera is good. Big screen quality
Cons
  • It does not get cut from USB after you turn off the computer (the power goes on, others are charging).

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsatisfactory quality, I won't buy it anymore.

* Applications - ads are shown in some pre-installed applications. There's an advertisement on the phone for 1.5k, Carl! * Accessories - original accessories are just a waste of money, apparently in order to emphasize kinship with the phone. The stylus case makes the monster quite difficult to hold in your hand. That and look this brick will jump out and fall on someone's defenseless head. The main thing, therefore, is not to take a picture of yourself from above. Plus, in this case, the…

Pros
  • The zoom is not bad, but not without a barrel of tar. Quick. Charging in general is not bad enough - for a day and a half.
Cons
  • * at a huge price, a lot of shortcomings. This is annoying: * display - the display is scratched just in your pocket. Old xiaomi laptop5 for 3 years of use did not get scratched like this one for six months. - amoled is still just terrible in color - it's impossible to read something on this phone, your eyes instantly start to get tired. Color rendition is unnatural - without enhancement it is too faded, when it is on it is too saturated - yellow colors turn into orange - screen resolution does not affect the picture. no difference, only changes in discharge speed and brake - the promised super smooth animation is a marketing sham. if you find the difference and so that this flagship does not slow down, consider that you have found aliexpress - the curved display is still inconvenient. - fingerprint sensor. If you hear about a mega-large sensor that works at incredible speed, do not forget that Slowpoke and Samsung begin with the same letter, and if you have anything in common with the slow ones of this world, you may find this sensor to work fast, and if you can only grab the phone with two outstretched arms - then the sensor will seem huge. For ordinary representatives of Homo sapiens, the sensor is extremely slow and inaccurate, in addition, you still need to learn how to get into it, which, of course, can make a record holder in pointing a finger * cameras: - Poor video stabilization. just disgusting compared to iphones - cameras differ greatly in quality, especially noticeable with zooms - the camera always strives to turn up the brightness of the picture, while not bothering to turn on the flash at the right time - absolutely non-intuitive frame size switching - with ratios alone, only very tiny resolutions, while - instead of normal noise, the camera tries to "improve" the photo, and because of the dumbest optimizations, the silhouettes washed by the neuron are visible. - immediately after the purchase, the camera worked simply unacceptably badly. Fortunately, after the ates, they led to at least some human condition.

Worst product ever, disappointed with the purchase.

A phone for 130 thousand, which does not have a phone function . This is the most fun scam that I have ever seen in my life. They write on the forums that the service does not recognize bugs, because, of course, if you stand in one place, the network is not lost. Everyone is waiting like manna for heavenly firmware 4.1, but something tells me that a miracle will not happen. I don’t know if it makes sense to go to the service, maybe 5 times in a row with screenshots, because it’s obvious that…

Pros
  • Camera and Battery
Cons
  • Since October 21, we have been sitting and waiting for a new firmware. March already. After the firmware on Android 12 (and you can’t roll back to the 11th without losing the knox and spay folder), the network constantly falls off and does not connect back. All advice from forums does not help. The use of only 2/3 mode helps a little. Used different operators, everywhere the same. If it loses the network (at the same time it shows that everything is OK), then it does not find it back itself, it is necessary to re-plug the airplane mode. It is best played when exiting the subway or in the subway itself.

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Switched to it from Apple SE. In general, the purchase is not only satisfied, but delighted. So feel free to write a review. I will say right away that the quality of communication, photos, sound are ordinary for me, the main thing is that they have not deteriorated in comparison with the previous device. So, 1. pre-installed Google, Microsoft services, combined with the power of iron, immediately catch the eye. For example, when you open 3D mode in Google maps (yes, yes, it is here), the speed

Pros
  • 1. Useful pre-installed software and tangible power in solving problems. 2. Stylus support. 3. The feeling of a high-tech device in the hands, a flagship.
Cons
  • 4. Size 5. Poor equipment. 6. No memory slot, minijack.

I didn't like it, I don't recommend buying it.

This unrealistically clear front camera adds 20 years! For women, this is mega-relevant! Each mimic wrinkle, pores, shine, shadows - everything is amplified many times with such excessive clarity. This makes the face look old, dark and tired. And this effect is visually enhanced by blurring the background. It looks so terrible that I just want to look in the mirror to calm down that I'm not 50. In reality, looking in the mirror, my face looks much softer than in these selfies. Add. adjusting to

Pros
  • the external camera partly corresponds to the expectations and the sample in the store. The feeling that there are completely different devices on the shelves. Works fast, bright display.
Cons
  • The battery with average use lasts for half a day. Even the three-year-old Samsung A70 holds a much longer charge with more intensive use. But the worst thing is the front camera. Some will consider this emotional nonsense, while others will be saved from buying and disappointment. Read on. On a selfie, with the clarity of the object, the entire background is in noise and ripples. The focusing of the video either adjusts itself to the object, or you have to poke the screen in the old fashioned way to focus, which makes the video look ugly.

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

I sold this miracle of technology the other day, there were blurry feelings . like a flagship, but it seems like some kind of misunderstanding from the Samsung company went to fold, which is many times more convenient and, it seems to me, faster than s21 ultra, but still many times better than 12-13 iPhone ( not about the version) but again, the flagship for 90+r or an iPhone for 130r samsung is worth its money, there is no iPhone. Samsung is enough for 20 hours of vigorous use of Internet 4g…

Pros
  • working hours
Cons
  • Price, dimensions

The product is no good, I won't buy it again.

In the same place, the Internet either works or not. In any application with the Internet, it lets you down very much, you work and immediately stops loading the Internet, although 4g+ shows, then after a few minutes it can connect. I have a second xiaomi mi9 phone, there is no such thing. For permanent use, this phone was bought, which is more than 5 times more expensive than xiaomi. In the service check, they said that they see no problems. Factory reset and network settings have been done…

Pros
  • Already nothing
Cons
  • The antenna is all sticks, 4g shows, but the Internet does not work stably.

Average product, you can do better.

Comments on the first two shortcomings, I think, are unnecessary. Shame. The camera block has a mirror polished edge, with very sharp edges. In everyday use, chips and scratches will instantly appear there. You need to immediately put your phone in a case. The black color at the start looks advantageous, but under the black paint is bare aluminum; surface defects will be immediately obvious and noticeable. By tradition, software (camera software) at the start of the curve was also with the 20th

Pros
  • + Screen; + Spectacular design (which is also a disadvantage - see below); + A factory protective film is pasted (very good), the same as glued on the S20 line; + Fingerprint is faster and more accurate (but not 2x).
Cons
  • - Huge official price; - The notorious thoughtless imitation of one well-known company in terms of "concern for the environment" (lack of charging, headphones and memory cards); - Crooked software at the start of sales; - Abundance of self-promotion in internal services; - Non-removable branded and third-party applications; - Slow data transfer over the wire through the proprietary Smart Switch application; - After 5 months of operation, the screen failed - it just went out. Replacement under warranty. Exactly the same defect was at one time on the S7 edge.

I should have looked for better, I spent my money on a mediocre product.

When using video shooting, or in applications with video calls, the phone overheats after 10 minutes of use so that the application turns off, with a message about overheating! I wrote many times, called support, did everything they said, and safe mode, and reset the device, and all ates with a hard reset, the problem does not go away. On foreign forums, many owners have the same problem, you can also find the same problem on our forums. I love Samsung very much, already the 5th device from…

Pros
  • Excellent screen, battery life is very pleasing. The phone is very cool in every sense, but there is one BUT that covers all the pluses. Read below.
Cons
  • Overheating when using the camcorder

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

The SC is impenetrable, support does not even read your appeal, they write the same thing, even if you indicate in the appeal that these methods did not help. They don’t even try to look for a “floating error”, they refused to test the memory modules, all that was enough for them was a reset and a test after a reset for a couple of hours . with the conclusion that the device is working, and a huge number of reports, including in samsung members after sudden reboots, are proof is not. As a…

Pros
  • 1. A good set of cameras, ultra-wide, main, x3 and x10 completely cover my needs 2. Display 120Hz 3. Good performance
Cons
  • 1 Advertising in native services. 2 The software is crooked, buggy, constant reboots, the SC does not see problems in the "floating error", although it clearly showed them, but it works in safe mode, only I took a smartphone, not a calculator, in general, it doesn’t matter what applications, if more 20pcs put, forget about stability 3 Incredibly long backups, smartswitch, google one. it's impossible to make a full-fledged backup, smartswitch backup takes 5 hours! Friendship with Google one is crooked 4. Heating, everyone is different, I have it constantly warm, it’s not critical for me, but some may not like it 5 Uninstallable apps 6 facebook problem 7 bright display, but due to PWM eyes are very tired, even at good brightness the screen flickers

Exactly what I needed, it's a great buy, I recommend it.

After c10, it's faster, the screen is better, the battery lasts longer, but not as long as we would like. Charging is still everywhere, although the need for it has become less frequent. It's hard to say something about the camera. No matter how much they praised it, but even a cropped matrix 5 years ago is still very far from a picture from a full-fledged camera.

Pros
  • Screen, speed
Cons
  • Battery and again Battery, do not believe that it will last for 2 days. Will not be enough!

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

In general, it’s not bad at all, and can become a good helper for a DSLR, and somewhere it can be replaced! The camera is really cool, but you have to learn how to work with it, without settings, out of the box, it can be disappointing! But the fingerprint sensor . this is some kind of trash, you don’t expect such a setup from a super flagship! Well, the battery, it does not pull the declared 2 days of work.

Pros
  • Excellent screen, performance, cameras.
Cons
  • The most disgusting fingerprint sensor, it's just awful, it can't detect a finger even on the 5th try, overwritten the prints several times, no difference. Also, its location must always be guessed on the off screen. In general, this is the most unfortunate and not working function in this smartphone! Battery . Yes, he confidently lives all day, there are no questions. But, why in all the reviews they write that it lasts for two full days? How? With an average screen time under 5 hours (4.50). Or should all settings be set to medium? Then why do we need such a flagship?

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

For exorbitant money, so far it's just a "dialer" and not a flagship ! "Like" the support service, who say that they are doing well, but the developers of your all sorts of applications are lagging behind in progress. But sorry, what modern phone can be without applications? Specialists remotely connected to my phone, tried to set up access to mail through some kind of mail application from Samsung, but nothing happened .

Pros
  • Pretty fast, good battery life. That's probably all.
Cons
  • Camera! This is the main disadvantage. In the course of work, I often have to take photos of documents - all photos are blurry at the edges (text). Different modes, with and without focusing on . With simple photos, the edges are stretched. For example, a thin face - it seems elongated if the frame is not in the center, but on the sides . I took it to Samsung service, they replaced the camera under warranty, but the problem did not go away. Okay, I reconciled . BUT then suddenly the phone was ated to android12 and, by the way, most of the applications that are simply necessary every day - mail mail, viber, whatsap, etc. . - everything crashes. Repeatedly called the hotline, everything is fine with them, they say that all sorts of third-party applications there are not ready for Android 12, wait until they ate . How much sorry ? With Android 11, everything worked correctly, at least they warned that nothing will work with Android 12.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

There are a lot of reviews about this device, I will only add the nuances that are important for me: 1. Camera. I bought this phone for the purpose of shooting video on vacation. This phone shoots video worse than the iPhone 11/12 pro max and Huawei Mate 40 pro (inferior in detail, noise, slightly in stabilization). But better than these phones in terms of optics, more versatile. So if the requirements for picture quality are not high, then quite. The microphone picks up your voice well and…

Pros
  • Screen, camera lenses
Cons
  • autonomy, camera features, charging features

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The disappointment is complete, the product is not at all what I imagined.

Solid scam, paid bloggers and advertising from each iron sings about what a super phone it is, but in fact I personally didn’t see anything special in it, the camera leaves much to be desired, the speed is the same as that of the meizu m9 laptop, all other advantages are declared the manufacturer is not visible to the naked eye. I do not recommend buying. Waste of money, and the sediment on the soul from the fact that you were thrown hard. I won't buy Samsung products again.

Pros
  • Large memory
Cons
  • - Camera (I completely agree with the reviews about the poor quality of pictures, soapiness and noise, poor quality of night shooting), but it was bought precisely because of the camera - Radio modules, the signal strength drops noticeably in elevators and remote areas, which does not happen on our other phones. - Heavy - it gets very hot, and not in games, but just at work, when browsing the Internet - Delivery on pre-order, you order a phone without specific dates, wait, and support will answer that they have no data on your specific order

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

I have been using Samsung for a long time, starting with S2 and this is the worst phone I have ever had, I specially took the previous S20 + on a snap and there are still no problems with it. Having seen enough, most likely paid, reviews, I decided to take it on the exinos right before the vacation, and lo and behold, he could not shoot anything at all, the camera constantly writes the device is overheated, the S20 + works nearby in the same conditions and does not experience any problems at…
