Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S20 5G 128GB - Cloud Blue for GSM Carriers by John Lim ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

I want to share my impressions of the transition from OnePlus 7 Pro 8/256 to Samsung Galaxy S20 8/128. I am writing a review 2 months after the transition. I change smartphones quite often (Galaxy S20, OnePlus 7 Pro, Redmi Note 8T, Galaxy Note 9, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 PRO, Galaxy S7 Edge, Xiaomi Redmi 3S PRO, Iphone 4s God forgive me 😅). It doesn’t really pull on huawei and other things (although maybe in vain). All the information presented here by me was collected for more than one month. Perhaps some of my problems can be easily solved, write in the comments. DO NOT OFFER options for rooting devices😁, everything should work humanly and without root. The battery on any phone has never lived up to the end of the day, so I do not compare them. I don’t have more than 70-80 GB of memory, so I switched from 256 to 128 without fear. For me, the cons of Samsung are unacceptable, they interfere with the normal use of the device, I constantly want to throw it out the window . Therefore, VANPLUS - VANLOVE, definitely! Over time, of course, I began to get used to all the shortcomings of the Samsung, but I understand that this is not normal and it jars me a little . PS: I endure further, I'm waiting for a small version of the one-place and watch norms from other manufacturers.

Pros
  • 1. The work of the Galaxy Watch is better (they synchronize the "do not disturb" mode, call modes, alarm clock, timer, mute the sound of an incoming call with Samsung. Also, there is less delay in notifications from the phone). 2. Wireless PowerShare (the ability to wirelessly charge other devices, including watches). Yes, this feature is already starting to appear on other smart phones. 3. Small size and weight (fits everywhere, one-handed operation with a bang). 4. camera 5. Samsung Pay (compared to Google Pay) is superior in convenience, security, and greater terminal coverage. 6. The ability to quickly call a subscriber with a swipe to the right (I call a lot. Incredibly handy thing, I missed it since S7) 8. Constantly working AOD (missed him). 9. Very bright flashlight with adjustable brightness level. I use it often. 10. Sound from the speakers.
Cons
  • 1. Slow and buggy animation of the entire system (if you look closely, microfreezes are noticeable. When you increase the animation speed through the developer mode, the lags, of course, also increase, so this is not an option). 2. It gets very hot when charging, even from the ORIGINAL memory (already the hand sweats. Probably this is not good for the battery .). 3. With strong heating, it starts to throttle noticeably, first of all, resetting the screen frequency to 60 GHz. 4. With a 100% charge and a connected charger, it still continues to keep quite warm until you turn it off or leave it blocked for 20 minutes. 5. It charges very slowly through NON-ORIGINAL cables and chargers (including everyone's favorite Ugreen and Topk). 6. Splitters for 100r from Aliexpress to type-c and 3.5 jack do not work (earned for 800r). I need it in the car to listen to music through aux and charge at the same time (I have a Volkswagen head unit, don't offer bluetooth😆). 7. Inconvenient switching between bluetooth devices (you need to go into the settings every time you change or turn on the device or through SoundAssistant). 8. Slow fingerprint. 9. Lack of aptX codec. 10. Unable to block spam with LETTER numbers. 11. Insufficient volume level THROUGH THE HEADPHONES (I have TWS Pamu Slide and different wired ones). 12. Too abrupt transition of the volume level from 0 to 1 and from 9 to 10 (when it goes into the red zone), the Samsung SoundAssistant application does not fix either this or the previous problem. 13. Few divisions of the volume level (15 in total). Sound Assistant fixes this problem, BUT. the display will still remain at 15 bars on both the phone and the watch, and when you scroll the volume, it will change, and the bars will remain in the same place * lol that *). 14. There is no way to set the time with seconds. 15. There is no way to change the color of the labels in the notification curtain (always blue). 16. There are no control gestures on the off screen. 17. No lock by double tap on the desktop. 18. Loses in value every day.
