I have had this phone for one month. I like how it performs and is much lighter than the previous version. I'm happy that I've replaced my older S23 with this one.
The pen is not very responsive, and the screen often does not register it. When I use the translator, it only works about half of the time. My five-year-old phone worked better than this. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For a high end product, the selfie camera is not upto the mark. In the age of instagram, that is a big negative.

I have had several smart phones with the IP rating 68, my Samsung s25 ultra has the same rating but it stopped working when it fell into the kitchen sink, it was there for less than a minute
