Great Phone from an Iphone User!
I got this phone as a second for my work, i wanted something inexpensive that still had some nice features! I am blown away really! My primary phone is an iphone 15 pro max, ive always had iphones and am fully immersed in the apple ecosystem, but let me tell you i am pleasantly surprised by this base model phone from Samsung! It makes me wonder what the flagship models of samsung have to offer! To me for basic tasks theres really not too much of a difference between my two phones which now is making me question why i pay thousands for the top of the line iphone when in reality this model samsung or the mid range a35 would probably suit most peoples needs and the price is significantly less! Obviously there are some differences and im not saying this $200 phone is beating my 15 pro max, but i am saying, its much closer than you would think! It also has expandable memory up to 1TB. I would give this phone a shot if youre on the fence. They told me the re stocking fee was $45, the phone is $200, if you have to return its not too much of a loss that i think its worth the jump! If youre an older person looking for a sleek phone thats easy to use or a younger person just looking to save money I dont really see the hesitation with this choice! Great job samsung!

Great phone- some caveats
I purchased this phone from BB. It has only been a couple of days but so far I like the phone a lot. My last phone was a MO TO that I had for almost 5 years. It was slowing down and no updates since Android 11. I like the idea that this phone will get updates for 5 years. I'd give it five stars with the following exceptions... It only comes with a cord and no plug. The on off switch on the side has a fingerprint reader on it and it takes some to get used to using. The phone is quite thin and I have big hands. That makes it difficult to hold. I just ordered a case - hopefully that resolves my issue. The other thing that is a little annoying is that it is very symmetrical which means when you pick it up you cannot tell if you are holding it screen side up or down. I have to look at the phone to be sure I'm holding it right to hit the finger print sensor. Another issue I hope goes away with the case. I'll update after getting the case. Some complained about speed. I have no issues there but I am not a gamer.

I would avoid this slow phone
Extremely slow. The 4GB of RAM is the main problem. Even slower than the Moto G 5G. I would avoid this phone.
