After two months of use, the screen started showing SCRATCHES, making it look like I scratched it while carrying a smartphone and keys.
- Full-screen glass is difficult to come by, which may have contributed to the initial deficit.
- Operational time with heavy use of the battery.
- Price.
There isn't enough juice in my battery to last very long. To be fair, I will admit that I make extensive use of my mobile device: I have 4G or Wi-Fi turned on nearly all of the time, I take videos or photos almost every day, edit them, make calls, play a wide variety of games, read the news, and spend a lot of time on social networks (VK, Instagram), and watch videos online. Headphones are my preferred method of listening to music. 11 hours of use can be obtained from a full charge down to 1 percent. I should mention that the brightness is automatically adjusted; in strong sunlight, it will be set to its maximum, and in a dark environment, it will be set to virtually its minimum. I also use the Always-On-Display feature and Bluetooth to receive real-time updates from my fitness band.
Scratches. To be honest, I was taken aback by this. On my aging Samsung S3, I was oblivious to this. Then the much-touted Corning Gorilla Glass 4 surprised me by covering my entire screen in a mosaic of tiny (and not-so-little) scratches. Glass that cost 500 dollars but shattered on the first day of use outperformed a phone screen that cost 50,000 dollars. As the glass still won't stick, I decided to give it a go anyhow. Yet after three minutes of crawling on this glass with various keys, it didn't appear any more scratched than my screen, which I attempted to wear carefully, keeping it away from the keys in one pocket. Believe me when I say that spending a thousand dollars on a screen protector is far preferable to spending ten times that amount to replace the screen on a current flagship.
