The phone is excellent, the camera is incredible. The phone does have some heat issues, though that seems to resolve after a few days use. It is also a little bulkier than the Note line.
I love the phone however, Samsung should be ashamed of themselves. Why do you no longer provide the box for the supplied charging cord?! Its not as if the phone is inexpensive!! Then i had issues with the SIM card to boot! It didnt bring all of my contacts over from the cloud, its getting ridiculous that its complicated to set up a phone. I expect better from Samsung!! It's also S Pen compatible...but you have to buy one!
Coming from the Note 8 Im finding a few features that I really didnt expect and love. At first I didnt feel like I made much of an upgrade but as I discover more features and play around with camera settings I realize the advancements made by Samsung over the past few years.
While not groundbreaking or anything spectacular, it is a beautiful phone packed with lots of features. The pros: the screen, the camera, s pen, and battery life. The cons: way too much bloatware, it's ridiculous how much is in this phone. No SD card slot
