    God device but...

    I'd say I'm 95% satisfied with it. Just a couple of weird things that Samsung has done compared to my older Samsung S8. For one, the notifications are very small in the upper left corner. On older Samsung, you could make them larger and easier to see from a distance. But this is the one that made me almost literally throw the phone out the window!! Plus it cost me $40 to get fixed (but it wasn't really broken, it just acted like it. What happened is this: If you use the Secured Folder, naturally you have to set a password to use it so that it is secured. I do not secure my phone in its normal mode so I do not set it to have a password. BUT, after you set the password for the Secure Folder and you close the Secure Folder, it then locks your phone without having set a password. I had to pay $40 to have the phone reset to factory settings after spending 2 full days trying to set it up the way I wanted it and then brought it home and spent many, many more hours setting it up again. I left the Secure Folder alone for about a week, then opened it again after setting its password and THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHERE I GOT LOCKED OUT OF THE PHONE!!!! You would think they would tell you what happens when you set the Secure Folder password. What it does (for safety sake they say) is automatically lock the phone with the Secure Folder password after the Folder is used. Then you have to sign in to use the phone and go back into settings and change the phone password to either None, another password or the same, or a code. Anyway, now I know that but it's a rea; hassle to have to do that every time I use the Secure Folder. The only other thing that really stinks about the phone is the lack of decent notification sounds. There are very, very few and the ones they have are really bad. Otherwise, I love the phone.

    amazing phone

    It is an absolutely safe, reliable purchase. It offers no revolutionary changes, but everything related to everyday use—screen, performance speed, sound, premium materials—is a 10 out of 10. If you don't need the Ultra's insane camera capabilities, the Plus is an excellent choice.
