This is the best Samsung Galaxy. I don't need no ultra, we have a square display right over here at a literal fraction of the price. I'm daily driving it right now. Compact size, great battery life, no bs cameras, no dead pixel front camera holes in display, 3.5mm headphone jack, micro sd card slot... Scamsung in 2024, Apple, Google, Sony, fkin Sony... do better!!

                  I wish I could change the battery of this phone easily and still use it for basic use. The internal (nothing bad with external) build quality of this phone sucks though. I guess I gotta get a very cheap xcover 5 for considerable size or something

                    nickyminay32, 04 Mar 2024as of 2024, don't buy it anymore. Chrome can load on... moreCause it's on one ui 1.1 last update lol. Android 9. However the phone is durable, I like that it was made of aluminum. Once I gave it to my brother and he dropped it and all it did was just a tiny dent that you can live with. Nowadays, non-rugged budget phone aren't as durable anymore

                      as of 2024, don't buy it anymore.
                      Chrome can load only one tab, and if you switch to another then it restarts page on another page.
                      Didn't had much luck with other browsers either, on Opera it can have 3-4 tabs, before it start slowing down.
                      And when it clears RAM, it needs to load page on browser, it closes your other apps.

                      Also encountered issues with random lags, I suspect it's OneUI skin issue, as samsung historically had issues with performance due to it's custom skin they apply.

                      So, not good for 2024 anymore. Will random lag, even if you don't actively use any apps, just because you have some apps, and you're easily fill up internal memory due to apps taking 400 Mb these days...

                      So it quickly get to 15.5 Gb memory, with few apps, and filled up memory slows phone on random lags even more...

                        Mo, 07 Feb 2024Did you find solution for this restart ?phone restarts whenever the free space goes beneath 2GB. Solution:
                        - disable all unused factory apps
                        - transfer subsequently installed apps to SD card
                        - disable automatic updates, as during update app goes to system storage, not to SD card
                        - install cache cleaner.

                                        this phone being upgraded to android 9 is so bad. it decreases the performance and i can see it. i have the 16GB version and the os itself takes up 10GB storage. you cant downgrade it to android 7 with odin because the bootloader is updated as well
