Review on Samsung Factory Unlocked Warranty Renewed Cell Phones & Accessories and Cell Phones by Som Chai ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Out of the 2022 characters that may be used, I used 1945 in the "Disadvantages" section. I think it's clear that I didn't like this gadget. Yet, this is not the case in the slightest; on the contrary, I adore practically all aspects of this gadget. I could go on and on about how fantastic this item is because it truly is. You can purchase it right now for between $55,000 and $60,000, and for that sum, trust me, you'll get the MAXIMUM of various chips and practical features. No other device will give you as much flexibility as this smartphone. This, together with DeX and gesture control from the pen, would be incredibly helpful to me at university seminars so I wouldn't have to bring a laptop. In practically every way, synchronization with Windows has surpassed that of the "Apple ecosystem," including the ability to view images and messages and share a clipboard. Now that everything is so unclear regarding unlocking methods, I want to talk about them. Start by face unlocking. Only effective in well-lit environments; works quickly. Although the retinal scanner, which was apparently present in the Note7 / FE that I used, seemed to work very coolly in a dark environment, unlocking at night will not work, and in different lighting conditions, the response results are also very unstable — it may open immediately, perhaps after a few seconds, or it may not open at all. FaceID is not generally recommended, but if your hands are full, it will work. Unlike to several other businesses, we do have a choice between a fingerprint scanner and a face scanner. I want to talk about the fingerprint reader. That is subscreen and front here, which is great in my opinion. It is also ultrasonic. Yeah, even under ideal circumstances, it occasionally does not open the first time; nonetheless, I tried to open it while wearing gloves, and I managed to do so. This functionality is a game-changer for all other smartphone makers in our challenging epidemiological environment. Although neither the fingerprint scanner nor the face scanner are perfect in general, they both function properly. Thank you for reading; I'm out of signals now.

Pros
  • You all already know very well from other reviews how this device stands out among the same Chinese remnants these days (don't dislike for the Chinese, just accept the truth that the majority of today's Chinese, yes, and not only the Chinese, it looks like a Galaxy S8 with reduced frames and a cutout for the camera / pop-up camera). With the exception of the 3.5mm jack, this smartphone can offer you everything you require for daily use.
Cons
  • Of course, Jack's absence, as noted above, was disappointing. I personally use Galaxy Buds, but I won't be able to, at least without an adapter, connect a phone to a computer in a line-in, for example. Samsung was too lazy to include an adapter in the package. Although devices with an old box are less expensive than the Note10+, the box has gotten worse in comparison to the Note8/9/FE boxes. However, I really liked the cardboard that was placed on top, and the magnetic "door" was also very cool. The relocation of the power button to the left side absolutely irritated me. I used to be able to snap screenshots by holding down the power and volume down buttons with my fingers, but that is no longer possible. The speedy launch of the camera, which was previously triggered by double pressing the "Home" button, has vanished, but this is not a problem exclusive to this particular smartphone—it affects all devices without a physical "Home" button—only those with touch-sensitive "Home" buttons. As there shouldn't be much time between two presses, the phone sometimes locks up instead of activating the camera. Recall that this feature was originally intended to provide "rapid access to the camera for instant capture of some event," but now you have the option to just lock the phone if you missed an essential moment. Not very polite, to put it mildly. Removed was the option to alter the size of the Quick Access Toolbar's icon grid ("shutter on top" if you are an amateur). Because just 8 icons can be seen on the page on a 6.8" display, the icons' size has made me feel old and nearsighted. No, this is not a failure. A 5x5 grid could be placed on a significantly smaller 5.66" display with OneUI 2.0 on the NoteFE (as opposed to 2.1, which came pre-installed on my Note10+), yet everything was clearly visible and did not accidentally switch on. It's possible that this will return in the future OneUI 2.5, although the likelihood is quite low.
