Its a little thicker than my wifes S21+. Works great, but cant figure out how to do Samsung cloud storage, and features. Everything is always overridden by Google and Android programs. Samsung needs to help us. I didnt get it to transfer all the contacts and photos over from my old phone. What a job that was, and still missing stuff. Samsung, please develop your own OS and save us from GOOGLE !
After owning an S21 Ultra, and knowing the screen brightness specs, I assumed that this screen would be a big upgrade in terms of brightness. However, I've been disappointed both by the aggressiveness of adaptive brightness and the lacking maximum brightness in view of the towering claims.
Battery life is passable, but I'd hoped for better from a brand new device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far, I’m really enjoying the camera, which was one of the main reasons I chose this phone. However, I do have two critiques. First, the voice-to-text feature doesn’t always transcribe my words accurately, which can be frustrating when I’m trying to send text messages. Second, the brightness control could use some improvement. In dark settings, I prefer to lower the brightness to avoid straining my eyes, but it doesn’t seem to get dim enough, which can cause discomfort during use.
On the positive side, I love the variety of emojis and the GIF feature
