A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

My motivation for making the switch from the S9+ was a desire for a more up-to-date, faster, and cooler device. It's a joy to use the phone, and everything operates well and without hiccups, but the battery and heat issues are a major letdown and make you feel ripped off.

A set of Buds Live headphones was included in the $60,000. purchase of the phone. After using it for approximately three months, I can tell that it is not worth the money.

Pros

- Appropriately sized (big enough to read/view text, but not so big that it overwhelms the user) - The camera (I was pleasantly impressed by the "multi-frame" option and the main camera's megapixel count; the camera's zoom performs more confidently than that of its competitors). - Display (pleasant color reproduction, comfortable reading, increased hertz for the first time delighted)

Cons

- I've never had a phone's battery die so fast; I, along with everyone else who has reviewed this product, will undoubtedly be ignored because of this. Samsung claims they have optimized battery life, but after several months of use, I have seen no improvement. As we were having a video call on Skype, the phone began to warm up, and after turning on augmented reality for a few minutes, a warning appeared warning us that the phone could shut down if the temperature continued to rise. Really frustrating Absence of a 3.5 mm headphone jack = Insanity on a Global Scale
