    Bought for my son to have something to install some games on, and it really is a tremendous value. The screen is bright and sharp, along with a very large battery capacity. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase. Bang for the buck can't be beat.

    This phone has been a disappointment. I still can't get the screenshots feature to work. Even two Best Buy employees weren't able to get it to work.

    Do not buy this phone. It is not waterproof at all which is mindblowing since the previous version was. Brand new phone took a dip in the toilet and was fried instantly.

    Phone Rings: Incoming Call, Furious Swiping, Jabbing on Talk Won't Open/Connect/Answer the Call. Junk. Nice for YT Videos, Worthless as a Phone.

    A "5G" phone

    The phone's mobile data connection wouldn't work and spotty in mid NYC. While it displayed a 5G connection no app had mobile data. It lost connection after 10 minutes of non use and doesn't connection on boot. Would of like to return it to Best Buy but had Samsung Customer Service run me through hoops before selling me a more expensive phone while giving 50% trade in rate for a less than a month old phone.

    Good phone, charge port issue, buy eleswhere.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Features like the SD card and 3.5 mm jack were important to me, good photos good operability and good price. 3 months of use and the charge port went bad. Not software correctable it's hardware. Best buy would not do anything for me because I did not buy their geek service. I did get a referral to take it a couple of authorized Samsung service shops miles and miles away, but neither stocked parts or would service it. They told me to take take it to, surprise, best buy. Ended up having to ship the phone off to Samsung in Texas for two weeks turnaround. Luckily I had an older phone I could put back to work. While I think I erred in not paying extra for the geek service, my real error was not buying this from my service provider who would have honored the manufacturer warranty and handled the whole thing with a phone call.
