    beautiful device, horrible battery.

    got excited with the phone at the begging, flat screen, 120haz refresh, 1300 nits, snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and 256 GB storage, this is a monster phone on paper, photos are beautiful, and the screen is big a bright with a little punch hole on the top. but the love ended quickly with that battery duration, in less than 6 hours my phone goes from 100 to 5%, and battery life is horrible, I have basically been carrying a battery bank everywhere I go, as I ran out of battery pretty fast, I have 2 SIMS attached to it, I have turned off the 120hz, basically all the notifications, the always-on display, Bluetooth, NFC, and barely improved 15-20% the battery life, definitely I will get rid of this phone as soon as i have some budget.

    Great phone but overpriced

    Phone is pretty decent but I still can't get past all the Samsung bloatware. Android is usually a fast operating system but with all the added Samsung features it feels sluggish at times. Phone hardware is really high end however and the camera is great.
