The phone works well, and the camera takes beautiful pictures. That said, this was an upgrade for me from the S5, which I had for 7 years. My biggest complaint with this model is the lack of a changeable battery. I'm a picture/video taker, and when I was in a situation where I didn't have either access or time to recharge my phone, it was great to be able to open the back and pop in a charged battery. Although you can buy a "fast charge" wire and adapter for the phone, you still need at least 30 minutes for a partial charge, and more than an hour for a full charge. The larger size is also not as convenient for carrying in your pocket.

I have no negative words for the S20 phone or cameras. Photos are beautiful and battery life is long. It is super responsive to anything I ask it to do. Sound is adequate but love pairing my earbuds for a much better audio experience. Highly recommended!

I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy s10 and the difference it's pretty obvious, I am not a big reviewer all I can say Samsung delivers on all fronts from design to specs, there is a lot of competition out there but I always stick to samsung because it always delivers where it matters.

This is the best phone I've bought so far. I was able to purchase for the same cost as the 128. So that was even better yet! The only disappointment I had was/is that there isn't the ability to add more memory by using a SD card anymore.

Upgraded from a S7 Edge to this S21+. It is a significant upgrade. Very responsive, bright screen, and great battery life. Easily lasts well over a day on one charge with heavy use (not 3D gaming though). I do miss my SD card slot though a well as a physical home button, but it's something to get used to at least.

Working great. No issues. With the help of the Geek Squad, transition was smooth and painless. It is Pricey ... why I went with four stars, instead of five stars.

Great phone except once I got it o didn't realize how big it was. If I could I'd exchange it for the smaller one now. But that's just my preference. Everything else about the phone is great.

Battery life of this phone is good and would last for 2 days with regular use of call and text feature only, except when you are massive internet browser. Touch response on the screen is great too but using tempered glass makes it less responsive despite of changing touch sensivity settings.
