[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seamless video performance in new phone, I use on multiple platforms and have had no issues. Battery life is exceptionally better, doesn't have a lag time while I stream. Better photos as well as audio performance. The extended memory helps with the hundreds of photos I take for my everyday use as well as those needed for my related endeavors across several platforms. Samsung wallet has been improved as well. Great job. The seamless action across several apps astounds me that everything is exceptionally better. "Audio Eraser" is a new tool i have started to get familiar with as well as "NowBrief". Where have these apps been my whole life, lol.

Cloud storage isn't a reliable option for anyone

Horrible Memory, Bring back the SD Cards! I am often out in the wilderness or just in rural areas with no cell service, which also means no cloud access, but I still need to take photos and record video. The 256GB of storage is absolutely insufficient for this on even a basic level. Samsung says this is for durability, but my S20 had an SD card and handled being immersed in salt water more than a few times and all kinds of abuse, I had it for 6 years! We all know this is just a cash grab situation to charge for more cloud storage, despite it being horrible for the environment to run all those servers continuously instead of of having local storage right there on the phone. I'm returning this phone and looking at other manufacturers after over 20 years as a loyal Samsung phone user. Bring back the SD cards and I'll come back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Login slow
on April 4, 2025
Posted by: Shermy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the phone pretty well. The time from turning on the phone to the time it takes to getting to the home screen is painfully slow. I had a S10+ was a lot quicker. That is my only complaint.

Lackluster
on August 4, 2025
Posted by: Qbert9
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes switching to this phone from a Pixel. Sorry this has been a frustrating phone, it's interface is not user friendly, it does things in it's own and seems to lack an identity. It wants to be everyone which makes it hard to understand what apps and tools that would be best for the phone.
On the other the Galaxy AI, Bixby is legit and refreshing!

Great phone for personal and business use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I primarily use my phone for personal use, mostly either talking on the phone with family and at other times, professional use. I also use this phone for playing games occasionally and have fun navigating through the app platform.

EXTRAORDINARY PHONE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sleek design and vibrant display immediately capture attention, offering an immersive visual experience. The processing speed is notably improved, ensuring smooth multitasking and quick app launches. Its camera system excels in various lighting conditions, producing stunning photos and videos. Battery life has been enhanced, providing extended usage throughout the day. The software interface is intuitive, making navigation easy for all users. However, the device's price point may be a barrier for some consumers. The fingerprint sensor's placement could be more convenient for easy access. Overall, the device remains a remarkable advancement in mobile technology, with exciting features.
