The key benefits, from my perspective, are:
One, how it looks. Glass on the back, nice weight, and compact size all contribute to a satisfying experience. The kit's clear case didn't do justice to the device's sleek design, so I ditched it right away.
In natural mode, the screen's brightness and color accuracy are excellent; in vivid mode, however, they suffer from a certain acid tin. To be honest, I don't mind the enormous size or the gaping hole caused by the front-facing camera.
In terms of quality, the audio is more akin to that of a high-end laptop than a mobile device. Look at how the Pixel 2 XL compares.
4. UI. It's not worse than Google's default, and in some ways it's better designed. Altering the standard icons and wallpapers can also improve the interface's visual appeal. The fact that Bigsby can be turned off nearly entirely is an advantage. Before that, I hadn't bought a Samsung in almost a decade since the Galaxy S2's UX was so terrible.
5. Effectiveness. The most demanding games run at maximum speed with a consistent 60 frames per second, and the phone only gets slightly warm while use.
Sixth, the combination of 120 hertz and that much power is awesome; after that, it's tough to switch to another phone because of all the jerks you encounter.
Seven, a very broad angle. It's rather common these days, but I didn't have it until recently.
Place the left hand grip 8. Being left-handed, I find this to be an advantage. A pen is rarely seen in my possession.
Fast and accurate facial recognition 9 is possible.
A film is applied to the display and the top and bottom surfaces before leaving the manufacturer. 10. It's a small thing, but it's good because it's hard to stick it yourself with this level of perfection. However, dishonest vendors continue to advertise film stickers as a service available prior to purchase.
