    Very slow! Terrible Camera (specially at night) It cant do multitasking. It closes apps because it overheats. Slow processor I guess. But it works as expexted since it is Samsungs cheapest smartphone

    This has a fairly good screen. It has a lot of Samsung bloat, more than my previous Samsung A13, and none of the Samsung apps can be disabled or uninstalled from the Android "apps" settings. Phone sizes in general keep getting bigger and this one jumped the shark, for me it's just too bulky to carry comfortably in my pocket and the awkward squared edges make it harder to handle. Performance isn't any better than my old phone, I often have to tap something twice to get it to respond. Fingerprint sensor works well so far. Old phone camera had PDAF, this one steps back to AF, pictures are good enough & I'm glad they kept the macro lens. No FM radio or headphone jack, but better water resistance if you drop it in the sanitary facility.

    I am replacing an s8+ and this is comparable and a really great deal. I love the size as well. Plus it can run apps that my old OS couldnt. Manage your expectations, it is a little slow sometimes but it works well enough for me.
