I bought this a couple of weeks back and the features work as advertised. Battery life is great! I easily get through a day with it. The telephoto cameras are also quite good especially in well lit areas. I love the speakers for media consumption and the fingerprint reader is also pretty fast. The screen is also splendid. I also love the features packed into OneUI, I don't think they are gimmicky. I love having the options. Only downside is the phone is large, I wish it was a tad bit smaller. Otherwise, best all round phone I've ever used.
The phone is great and has a long battery life but... its complicated and stubborn! Personally I need to be able to customize my text them packet to help me see it all better. I bought a theme, but you can't apply it. Also when I try to use Samsung messenger it's blank! I'm forced to use Google messenger. The camera is awesome but again, it's complicated. I'm in a love hate relationship with this phone!! I'm hoping future updates will fix the message theme as the choice between light or dark mode is not cutting it for my eyesite. Looks more like my email mess!
Love the phone and the picture quality especially the hunter time zone for taking pictures of the moon.. But really really did not like how easily the screen has scratched like there's looks like there's blemishes on my phone when you see it in direct sunlight. Been in a otterbox case since first bought it. Really wanna get a new screen but don't wanna pay out of pocket.
I regret spending such an amount of money on this phone or any phone for that matter. I needed a new phone immediately for work and rushed my purchase. I am disappointed that this phone doesn't accept an sd card and also that it doesn't have a 3.5 mm earphone jack. It's heavy and bulky to hold and carry in my purse. All the camera features on the back are such that my fingers are all over them as I'm holding the phone. I only use a few apps compared to most people I know yet the storage is already 75% full due to the preinstalled apps. So far the battery is just fair. I've only had the phone a few days so I hope I'll get used to it and it will "make do" until I retire - then it's back to a simple, cheap phone. Or maybe no phone at all, which sounds better to me at this moment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the phone, other than it's finicky finger print reader. 3/4's of the time it does read. Continually have to replace finger. Sometimes just leaving finger & sliding slightly gets it to work. Never had this issue with my Note 9. It's really frustrating & I wish they'd fix this some how. Phone takes great photos, love the news edit & keep the same file name. Plus if need be can be reverted back to original. Not having to find the older photo & delete is a plus, so no more duplicates.
