I wanted a larger screen phone, to photo & video. However, they ONLY made the phone longer, NOT wider. This was super disappointing because it does not help me, it does not fix my issue with the taller subject not fitting into the horizontal format well enough. I wanted the width of the Galaxy Note. Also, there is NO removable memory card. What does this mean for a photographer? It means I'm continually having to plug it into the computer to remove. But there is a very frustrating error that keeps occuring when I cut and paste to totally remove the files offf of my phone. Instead of removing them, it copies them over, so then the photos/videos are still on the phone after hours of waiting. And I'm then worried about deleting them off-- I just worry about it, so I end up making duplicate copies attempting it again. The only thing that seems to work is a cut and paste of a smaller number, but I don't have hours to sit there. And no, I don't want to pay more and more for cloud storage. I am just overall disappointed with not being able to utilize removable memory cards (and have the water resistance which really is important to me and was missing in the note.) I wish Samsung would fix it so that the photos were easier to transfer without all of these stupid errors. It will also believe some files were moved into a folder when they are not moved yet causing me to have to create new folders.. It's just a huge bummer if you take a lot of photos and videos. It makes me wish to buy a REAL camera.

I got this about a year ago, replacing an older Google pixel, the camera was not much better to be honest. I took photos in the same lighting (multiple lighting) in the same spots, zoomed, night vision etc. Honestly they were very similar in quality. As for the operating system, this felt smooth, but for some reason this phone never adjusted to typos. I dont know how to explain it, but it never properly fixes my typos. Its incredibly frustrating. Its genuinely one of the reasons im trading it in for a different phone. Im tired of constantly having to go back and fix texts, emails, notes etc. Its just not intuitive AT ALL. Aside from that and a couple other things this phone randomly bugs out and nothing on the screen works. I have to lock and unlock it and close whatever app or page I was on and start over. For the price, the INSANE price, this absolutely did not cut it. Was not worth it compared to my old Google pixel. I regretted it almost immediately, and it never grew on me.

Upgrading from a S22 Ultra there wasn't much difference. Slightly faster and the camera is supposedly better. The battery life is much better which is the reason for the "upgrade".

Coming from an S20FE, massive upgrade, obviously. Very happy with the look, camera, and battery life which is primarily what I got it for. Hoping it lasts at least 5 years like the last phone
I would recommend this to a friend!
