Cool phone but...

Bought this a couple of months ago. Liked it a lot at first. Fits easily in pocket. However, recently the battery life is really becoming a bummer. Does not make it through the average day at average use. About done with it.
This is the worst phone I have ever owned. The battery life is 3 hours on a good day, so be prepared to keep it plugged in. Also, it will not mirror or even operate while plugged in to my Samsung TV. I "uprgraded" from a galaxy s10+, which is a joke, because this is no upgrade.
I'm so bummed that this phone did not turn out to be everything I hoped for. Don't get me wrong, I love how compact and different it is, plus the lavender color, adorable! The most unfortunate thing is the battery life. I'll charge it all the way to 100% right before going to bed, but 8 hours later, it's at 79%! I did not have that issue with my Galaxy S 20+. Definitely an issue that needs to be improved.
Don't buy it, I bought it and I'm regretting it... I love the cell phone it is beautiful and modern but now with 3 months of use without ever having dropped it on the floor, and being very careful with it, now it just appeared a black mark where it doubles, and half of the touch screen doesn't work! this black spot in the middle of the cell phone is increasing and I will have to send it to samsung and go almost 10 days without the phone! they invented a modern cell phone with a system that doesn't last a year of use, nor does it last 4 months of use! that's a shame... and certainly after I get back from the warranty, they'll charge me to change the screen... that's a shame!
My screen broke after less than a month. It dropped 2 feet and the screen broke. Now the bottom of the screen works and the top doesn't. I called Samsung and the rep gave me the run around about how I dropped the phone and I kept replying that the phone should be more durable for the cost. I've had several phone and pretty much dropped them all, some even had the screen hit the pavement and I've never had a broken screen. Maybe I've been lucky, but I doubt I've even had a scratch. I did some further research on the phone and found out that the screen is thinner than a non-flip phone. 100% recommend staying away from flip phones until the screens are much more durable.
My sister actually purchased a few months ago and I have used it and looked at it and I really want one so hopefully they get one for Christmas I'm going to put it on my wish list
