A terrible purchase, I sympathize with everyone who bought it.

six months later, I ate:
1. As far as I can tell, DC dimming is enabled; everything else is the same.
2. The port died six months after the phone was purchased, and the phone stopped charging. Within an hour, the service was fixed under warranty.
3. Some bots are apparently jumping according to the reviews, so the rating is obviously wrong.

A year later, it was discovered that Samsung includes some sort of NFC identifier in branded cases, and automatic on/off screen functionality is incompatible with any flip case from a third party. Because of this foolishness, I'm going to downgrade my rating.

After the warranty expired, the port died once more, and the phone stopped charging. This happened about a year and a half later. In other words, the phone seems to have design flaws, for which it only earns a minimal rating.

Another thing: it was discovered that the cable connectors between the charging board and the motherboard, not the port itself, were the source of the issue. By soldering two wires parallel to the cable, craftsmen resolve the issue. By lightly touching on the phone's back, you may see if this is the case. Samsung should be disregarded for such design flaws.

Pros

It doesn't lag, has a physical factor that is rather user-friendly, and a good main camera (the ultra-wide one is worse, the other two are generally useless). Thank Goodness there is a minijack and a memory card slot.

Cons

There are a few odd and bothersome things. 1. Display. First, minor flaws like stripes and unevenness can occasionally be seen. Second, it flickers at low brightness levels and there doesn't appear to be any DC dimming. Thirdly, it behaves very oddly when scrolling at low brightness, as if there is a delay between turning off some pixels and turning on others. On dark colors, it appears as artifacts, while on light colors, it appears as blinking. Overall, it appears that IPS is still superior. 2. Ads featuring Xiaomi are present. Moreover, in Samsung Pay there is an unswitchable ad in addition to the ones that are disabled. 3. The branded case with S View supports the always-on screen (AOD) in a very peculiar and inconvenient way: without a case, AOD can show notification icons, but with a case – only a clock; for the icons to appear, you need to raise the phone or press the power button. Of course, the insignia are drawn on all official photos, but this is a fraud. 4. The battery exhibits odd behavior, appearing to discharge both quickly and slowly at different times. It appeared that not all applications or sometimes the "optimize battery usage" setting is ineffective. 5. Only instant messengers—and not all—work when making a copy of the application. I did this on my Xiaomi device to access the joint account I had with my wife on the banking app. 6. Calls are not recorded, but everyone is now cutting them off (there is no need for ordinary people to record their calls, only special services should do this).
