    I recently got this phone and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s the perfect blend of power, portability, and sleek design—just what I needed.

    I bought two of these phones, each with the intention to use dual SIM capability, with a SIM from Mexico and the other US. I got it working both okay! One number had to be set as eSIM and the other number with the physical SIM. The rest of what this phone offers is very good for the small relative price compared to other high-end phones

    Good low end Samsung phone. It lags compared to my previous S20. When I finger down from the top to go to my options like flashlight, messages, etc, it lags. It takes about a second or 2 which you'd think its nothing. But after using a higher end phone you are used to the instantaneous working of apps and such. For the price, can't really complain. May end up getting a S class phone on black friday and let the kids have this one. There is one thing I realized compared to my old S20 and my wife's S24 that I much more prefer. If entering passcode on main lock screen all I need is the code and it opens my phone like an apple. On my S20 and wife's S24, I have to enter code and then the accept button to get into the phone. What's the point of the code if I also have to confirm it?

    I had this phone for a month, and it's met my expectations. I upgraded from a Moto G Power for the longevity of security and OS updates. The phone's features and camera are great.

    Works. Slow performance. Has this Annoying Woody Woodpecker notification I can't figure out to change. And an Issue with connecting to FiOS Router. I have to Restart the phone when it loses connection. Sometimes twice.
