Pros
- Beautiful appearance, pleasant materials, it is a pity that all this beauty still has to be hidden under the cover. I am glad that there is no Samsung inscription above the screen, as in younger models. Bright, juicy screen, with excellent resolution. Even after six months of use, I can’t stop enjoying the screen, I like to watch clips and videos with nature in 2K resolution, and it’s also very convenient to watch movies and TV shows on your phone while traveling. The brightness of the screen is enough on the sunniest day, but I would make the minimum brightness darker. The oleophobic coating is of high quality, the screen is very resistant to scratches. The size of the phone suits me, it fits in any pocket, fits well in the hand, but if you try to tie your shoelaces with such a device in your jacket pocket, it will cause some difficulties. The main camera pleases every day! I photograph nature, landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, perfectly conveys colors, at night I also take decent pictures, during lectures when shooting from Kamchatka, the photos are well readable, I think that the camera on this phone copes with all its tasks by 100%. The quality of the video recording is also at its best, the stabilization works well, I shot video while riding a snowmobile at a speed of 50 km / h and was satisfied, the shaking is minimal. The battery holds a charge well, charges quickly, enough for me for a whole day of active use, does not discharge in cold weather. The ability to broadcast sound via bluetooth to two devices with independent volume control is a cool feature, we like to use it with a girl in the kitchen when we cook. I like the ability to divide the screen into two working windows, I often use it when watching videos on YouTube.
Cons
- Slow fingerprint sensor, unwillingness to recognize wet fingers, extremely inconvenient location, the camera lens often gets dirty, despite the fact that for quick (no) fingerprint readability, the finger must be positioned perfectly on the sensor. During a telephone conversation, the screen is often unlocked, in order to lock it back, you have to put the phone aside and bring it to your ear again. The face recognition sensor is very slow, compared with pocofone f1, it’s impossible to use, it doesn’t work in the dark, I had to turn it off. Perhaps for some it will seem like a trifle, but it’s hard to get into the charging connector without scratching the phone case, the wire is not inserted intuitively, in the dark I have to look for it, with other phones this problem has never arisen. Absolutely useless Bixby app and inconvenient location of the button of this app. I often confuse this button with the volume down button, the impossibility of disabling this button or assigning another program to it without third-party programs. The external speaker is not loud enough. The lens of the main camera specifically on my phone is installed crookedly (it does not affect the shooting). When you quickly launch the camera by double-clicking the lock button on the screen, sometimes a window pops up on top of the camera with a proud inscription that I just used the quick launch, which is very difficult for instant shooting. Because of the curved screen, almost any protective glass pushes the case in the corners, I had to cut the case, later I refused the protective glass in favor of the case, for half a year so far not a single scratch. On the upper edge between the display and the body, you can see the gap of the screen above the front camera in the dark. The location of the lock button is inconvenient, sometimes I involuntarily press it with my fingers from the opposite side when I want to change the volume, also when the phone is lying vertically on its side, when I try to change the volume, the lock button is pressed through, I would install it on the top.
