      Arzell, 21 May 2024Test drove a demo model at Best Buy. Been using the iPhone ... moreThe form factor feel in your hand is great I have to agree. But the challenges on fixing modem issue on exynos chips is giving us less performance.

          So when can we expect an actual review that looks at ALL the items we're used to seeing in phone reviews on this website?

            Anonymous, 21 May 2024I'm comparing G3 vs exynos 1480Don't compare with Exynos, they suck with battery. Plus, I will keep my OP 12R. Not even the latest Pixel midrange beats the OP 12R. I had the Galaxy A54 and battery sucked so bad I had to boost charge before bed just to get a second day out of it, and I hardly used the phone. That was sad until I traded it in for OnePlus 12R, and got more than doubled battery than Galaxy A54. Never going back to Samsung if they staying with Exynos.

                Gsmarena, it would be interesting to see a camera comparison with the Pixel 8 at 55mm.

                    Pixel 8a costs 50K ( 600$) in India can you believe that. From front this phone looks like a 240$ phone.
                    Even hardcore pixel fans will have hard time justifying price of this phone.

                      Anonymous, 20 May 2024I don't care about bezels and neither should you.you're looking at it several hours a day. if anything, the front face (and the display itself) is a very important part of a phone

                                      Test drove a demo model at Best Buy. Been using the iPhone for almost 2 years, but I'll go back to Android for this phone. Love the simple, neat, compact build. Fits nicely in one hand. Love the full HD, vibrant, OLED panel. I actually like the thicker bezel, it serves as a frame for the lovely display. Love the clean, stock Android experience. Not to mention the camera shoots RAW out the box--a needed tool for a photographer like myself. I want this phone!

                                        The thick(er) bezels are a nice retro, for the ones of us who do not crave the screen footprint craze... It is a lovely and well-balanced design, one without the extremes of protruding cameras, curved and oversized screens.
                                        The design is a better looking form of an iphone...
