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!

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 !
The performance is good but the screen is bland. The colors are washed out compared to Samsung phones I've used before.

The trading water smooth. But some corner spots on the topleft and lower left screen of the new unit sometimes don't respond with fingers. Initially I thought it was because I placed a protective cover over the screen. But these areas remain unresponsive after I peeled off the screen protector.
Fabulous phone. Perfect size. Great battery life. But the phone was glitchy so I returned it. Been on the s23 ultra for almost a year and wanted a more small hand friendly lighter phone. Done all the updates required but ended up going back to my 23 ultra.
