Nothing unusual, a normal product.

I purchased a smartphone due to the fact that the other flagships are all shovels and this is almost the only smartphone that is of an appropriate size. Why would Samsung want to get rid of the memory card slot, which is essentially the device's calling card? What benefits did it bring? Those who did not require it simply did not make use of it, and they expressed a great deal of displeasure over this foolish decision. This is necessary so that the battery lasts longer, but this does not mean that fast charging should not be used in principle; when it is needed, you can use it, but miracles do not happen, and this increases wear. Samsung pleases with the ability to turn off fast charging; I haven't seen this from other manufacturers. They also added an interesting feature that the majority of people will not notice, which is the capability to create tasks that are executable and to create a button on the primary screen that will execute multiple commands. For instance, I turned off Wi-Fi, the mobile network, and the GPS on it, and I activated the mode that saves battery life. It's easy to become used to. In the past, you were had to manually switch off everything by climbing the menu levels.

Pros
  • The processor, the casing, the compact size, the design, the quality of the sound, the ability to disable rapid charging, and the ability to create convenient macros.
Cons
  • Lack of a memory card slot, a weaker battery in comparison to competitors and larger models, an attempt to save money on the screen (the older model has a brighter screen and more expensive technology), playing along with stupid fake trends by not including a charger in the kit, an inconvenient fingerprint scanner built into the screen, etc.
