I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

It's incredibly useful, but it's not for everyone. Although most users praise OneUI, I found it to be cumbersome and unintuitive. A 2K display would be preferable to 120 Hz (perfect vision), rounded corners would have been welcome, and the plastic used here was off-putting. It has the hallmarks of a flagship product, but you don't seem to notice.
If this doesn't worry you, then have at it.
Since the beginning of sales (about three months), the phone's price has dropped by a whopping 30k, which is sooooo much that not even xiaomi's flagship models see such a steep decline in value. The Note 10+ is almost as ancient as the ground it's built on, and it costs more. Plus if you have no plans to make any adjustments; negative if you want to sell in the next couple of years.

Pros

A 120 Hz display is fantastic. Another lovely and practical feature is "Always On." This time around, the CPU is just right; unlike the 888, it doesn't overheat and it provides adequate performance. Anything that has the potential to fly does. I even tried seeing how well Genshin Impact ran on ultra settings, which should have been impossible for the Exynos processor to handle at 30–50 frames per second (even iPhones and the coolest flagships are blown away in this game). Both the primary and wide-angle cameras were impressive, and the front-facing camera is ideal for video bloggers (4K at 60 frames per second, which is fantastic). Pictures are overly vivid and oversaturated on the phone's display, but they look OK on other devices (if you don't like it, switch to the "natural colors" mode in the screen settings). Vibro is not an iPhone, but it has some similar qualities: a nice design, system-wide functionality, and a comfortable in-hand experience. IP 68 water resistance means you can drop your phone in the bathtub without worrying (although even if the screen is super flat and sturdy, I wouldn't bank on sticking armor underneath it). The phone's dimensions are comparable to those of an iPhone 12, and it's a pleasure to hold with just one hand. My favorite feature is the fingerprint reader that is hidden beneath the screen. If you strike it right, it will work virtually every time and will do so swiftly. If you don't want to miss anything, turn on Always On.

Cons

Under direct sunlight, the brightness of the same screen seems to be between 500 and 600 nits; on rare occasions, it briefly increases in brightness, but then returns to its previous level. In the broadest sense, a middle ground. In addition, the panel here is FullHD+; nonetheless, the screen on the Note 9 is superior to this one (there is 2K), despite being less smooth (though this is a question of personal preference). Second, you can only have 256 GB if you take it, as a single machine uses 32 GB. Greater than the desktop version of Windows 10. Enable h.265 encoding in the preferences to reduce file sizes of media such as photos and videos (but older devices may not support it) Third, the phone becomes really hot while charging at 30W, making rapid charging not that quick. And, of course, in the flagships, everybody started caring about the environment very seriously all of a sudden, and they all stopped using their chargers. You should probably go out and buy one, as you probably don't have any spare adapters laying around with a Type-C output. For me, a full charge lasts about 5 hours of heavy use; most people will get more out of it than that. However, battery life is directly proportional to device size. 4 - Plastic! If the phone is in a case, the case's value decreases, but the phone's value is not diminished when you take it up. Lightweight is another advantage (it is difficult to call this a disadvantage, also a matter of taste). Personally, I am always short on glass. Yet, it won't go below 5. The video is certainly detailed, as 8K advertising would have you believe, but it only has 15 frames at most, not 24. The one thing the phone currently can't do
