The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

I bought a phone for my wife, before that she had a Galaxy S4, it has been serving for 5 years - there was an unsuccessful purchase: gray, GPS did not work, problems with battery consumption, but the wife is generally calm about smartphones, does not take selfies, call / write cleanly, sometimes read , play, surf something in the internet. And here, with the coronovirus, while the stores were working, they were buying different devices (a robot vacuum cleaner, a TV, a tool, etc.) for one, they decided to ate her phone, they chose between an apple phone and a Samsung in the region of 50K - and so on. it seems that the Korean has a better screen and camera - they stopped on it, and it seems to be more interesting outwardly, and the hardware is more interesting than the apples I have seen, for me beautiful apple trees ended on the 5th iphone SE. Found for 35K seems somewhere - significantly cheaper than other stores. My wife is very happy, I like it too. I took vidos from her to shoot in UHD 60fps, photos for smart are also cool, compared to my cheap BQ - earth and sky. With a DSLR, it’s clear that it’s not correct to compare, especially in poor lighting, but in daylight / good lighting it’s a very worthy option, one thing is bad - very heavy JPEGs (4-5 meters), this is the scourge of all smartphones, for comparison: shooting on a DSLR in RAW, processing in Lightroom at the output of 20Mpx - 1-2M on average takes a photo, while the detail, quality, gradient is still better than from a camera jpeg smartphone. This is all obvious, for such a result, high loads on the CPU are also needed, if you load the smart like this, it will work at the limit + take pictures for a very long time due to such post-processing, hence the battery will quickly sit down - thus. miracles do not happen, somewhere you have to sacrifice something.
In general, the smart is balanced, very pleasant, even the thought slipped through my mind that I would take one for myself, despite the minuses, although for me a smart is just a universal device (phone, messenger, navigator, mail, video, somewhere a photo / make a video), brand / show-off - not about me - the main thing is functionality, convenience, price.

Pros

The screen is juicy, clear, Case design (curved glass pleases the eye + more elongated vertically), Performance - quite nimble, Autonomous operating time, with rare use it is charged every 2-3 days, Camera - 4K 60fps - I was stunned by the quality - the first experience of personal shooting in this resolution and frame rate, I was shocked by the smoothness, clarity / detail - in comparison with my ancient Nikon D5100, where FHD 30fps is just a bomb here. True, at the maximum quality of the video, the limitation of the video is either 3 or 5 minutes. The AKG headset in the kit - they sound very good for ordinary earplugs (although I don’t know the cost of them), but I’ve probably been using my monitor Sennheiser HD 380 Pro for about 8 years, so it’s incorrect to compare, because the earplugs are still far from them, both in terms of sound and and in terms of wearing comfort - Zenkhi fit nicely around the ears, without touching them, and the plugs need to be corrected all the time. True, Zenha is inconvenient to carry with you - you can’t put it in your pocket)) Type-C connector - finally, you also don’t have to aim which side to shove the wire Some notification animations, such as outline lighting - class is simple, looks great A powerful vibration signal, compared to my BQ Aurora, where it buzzes slightly, this one powerfully lets you know, you won’t listen)

Cons

Perhaps minor cons, but which surprised me: 1. PIN input keyboard - absurdly small - looks foreign, allows you to do it normally (on my BQ Aurora for 10K I like it much more - large numbers with a virtual sphere around - it's easy to type with your fingers, and not mark so as not to miss), right there you really aim - I think this is purely Samsung's prank - they decided to stand out from the crowd or something, because. I gave my mother a Galaxy Tab tablet - there is also exactly the same small PIN-type keyboard on a 10 "screen - my God - complete insanity, I would hit my fingers with a ruler for such unusability. 2. According to the retina / Face ID - I was surprised, but I didn’t like how it works here: Face ID - detects slowly, and not so rarely misses, in the dark it doesn’t see anything at all - IR is not used for this; on the retina - much better, and faster and more accurately, but there you need to aim so that your eyes hit the "loopholes" - on the screen it also looks out of place and , again comparing with your cheap BQ (where I have Face ID - and there it works flawlessly, even in the dead of darkness (an IR sensor is also installed), it unlocks quickly, in a vertical and horizontal position - the scanner quickly analyzes the face in any acceptable tilt, only an animated icon, without loopholes - I think this is purely Android firmware, why Samsung would also not have left this visualization, and not "it") 3. Visually, I don’t like the design, how they beat the cameras on the back side - some square ones - but again, this is an amateur taste 4. You need to adapt to take a screenshot in order to simultaneously press the keys - it does not work every time.

Has some pros Screen, camera, headphone sound Has some cons The battery life could have been longer. Enough for 1.5-2 days of moderate load, without a navigator.
