Excellent phone, look and feel. Its giving iPhone vibe with the reliability of Android in Samsung. I feel the keyboard has better typing ability. The picture quality and added editing features are a bonus.
I like Samsung phones, but there's nothing new with this phone. I had an S21+ and S24+ before this. I can't really see any performance improvement, photos are the same. They claim to be IP68 water resistant, but if you get any moisture in the charge port, you can't charge it. I wish they would go back to removable batteries.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The battery gets hot and the battery dies quicker then my S23+ did. Love all the features but not the battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!
