I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

The cutout in the form of a hole for the camera does not even irritate, I quickly got used to it. Sometimes the area around the camera seems to pulsate (a black halo appears and immediately disappears, as if the camera expands and contracts sharply, it looks very funny, but it’s not clear why she does it, as if randomly - she couldn’t connect with anything). And one more thing - thanks for putting the original charger (adapter) for the cable. And then, given the trends, soon they will even stop laying the cable, taking care of nature, yeah, and non-original adapters and cables do not work. And the price of original adapters is expensive.

Pros

- According to the characteristics, this is the same Samsung S21 +, only without 5g (which we don’t have), eSIM, with a plastic back cover and costs 30 thousand less. I think for 30 thousand you can easily forgive the above. (-2022: I wrote this before the price increase for everything. I bought on 052022202222 for 42022 the 256 GB version, lavender color, and the same S21 + cost ~ 75000). - 30x zoom, which allows you to flaunt in front of colleagues and listen to "wow, you can really see that grandmother in the window of a neighboring house." I didn’t find more practical value for this function, but it’s worth it. And in general, the camera is excellent, and zoom, and wide-angle, and with a bunch of settings. Frontalka - not impressed. - Compared to Samsung S9: well, they finally figured out that the physical button specifically for Bixby is not only useless, but also pisses me off when you accidentally press it and this screen turns on! And added the ability to remove this Bixby from the main screen. - There are many funny goodies - for example, you can make your own "avatar" (selfie moji), make him dance and put this clowning on the call screen - also office fun in front of colleagues. I also like Bixby scripts (at least they did something really useful), when some functions are turned on at a given time or in a given place. Initially, in the gallery, this Bixby was able to recognize QR codes, but then this function was removed to my indignation - I hope they will return it. Automatically recognizes faces in a photo - this is not new, but now it offers to put a photo on the avatar of this person in contacts - also a trifle, and now everyone is calling me with avatars and with my dancing selfie moji in the background under the ringtone from South Park. The gallery has new tools for photo processing - for example, you can cut out unnecessary objects and microcrocodiles that have fallen into the frame. - Reverse wireless charging. That is, you can attach to the back of the phone, say, a watch or another phone that supports wireless charging, and they will charge. Great, but haven't really used it yet.

Cons

- I compare with the previous phone - S9. It does not scan the iris of the eye - in winter, in a hat, gloves and a mask, it is unrealistic to unlock it, you need to take something off yourself. No pulse oximeter - bad. There is no indicator light to show the presence of notifications / charging process. And most importantly - there is no 3.5mm jack! He also does not recognize adapters from 3.5 to Type-C (although I didn’t try the Samsung adapter because of the horse price, but they also complain about it in the reviews that it will work with a bang for 2 months and die). We are not rich enough to buy a new car with Bluetooth for a new phone. This, damn it, the phone should adapt to me, and not me to it. Of course, there is no adapter or headphones with Type-C included. For comparison: S9, in addition to a charger with an adapter, included headphones, spare ear pads for them and 2 adapters from USB and microUSB to Type-C! - Nominal battery capacity - 4370 mAh, not 4500, as stated. A trifle, but unpleasant. I hope the phone will live longer than 3 years. Although, judging by Samsung's desire to further cash in on the functions that were once basic in smartphones, I doubt that sales are needed. If the phone grunts before the moment when I am mentally ready for this, I will not buy a phone from Samsung again. (-2022: perhaps, even with all the desire I won’t be able to buy.) - Only 3 fingerprints can be added. I have more fingers and would like more choice - what exactly I want to unlock the phone today. The sensor is located directly on the screen. When exactly he will grunt is a matter of time. - Ads in games are not optimized for this screen! Because of this, the cross moves somewhere outside the screen and it is generally unrealistic to turn off ads: sometimes you even have to restart the application. - When unlocking, the backlight sometimes podglyuchivaet. You need to almost blindly lower the "curtain" and touch the strip with the backlight level, then everything will work. But it's not scary. Maybe in the next firmware they will fix it. (-2022: if they will).
