An affordable phone for human hands, epic. Only drawback I encountered was that there is no vibration feedback for the navigation bar unless someone else knows how to enable it :(

Everything is perfect, just PLEASE enable 4k@30fps and 1080p@60fps in next update, SoC is capable of 4k@30 and 1080p at whooping 120fps, but it is software locked.
For those of you complaing about no AOD, download this and you will have even better than stock samsung :)) App is called Always on AMOLED https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson

Had this phone for a month now. Thoughts:

-Feels solid and quite easy to handle

-Phone is fast, but should be even faster given the high end hardware specs of octacore and four gigabytes of ram

-Ultrawide camera is very fun to have and gives rise to a new type of phone photography. Main camera is unfortunately a bit worse in low light than my old Nokia 5, which sold for just half the price (and had a short life due to drowning, hence the upgrade to this machine) There is just no detail in the low light areas if the camera bumps up ISO to 800+. Up to 400 is okay.

-Sound quality in calls is clear but a bit tinny, no punch or bass in voices.

-GPS locks very easily even indoors or on a plane but the data out of it is rather noisy; can easily slide 30-40 meters off track or lag in turns if the phone is carried in a pocket. My older phones actually produced better data in a weak gps lock situation.

Overall an okay buy but not a hardcore fan. 7/10 stars. Software might however improve the phone in the future, it's brand new. I have never been dissatisfied with Samsung in the long run before, so hopes are set high.

Hey folks!

I have two questions:

- How do you feel the resistance of the power button? Strong, medium or weak?

- When I take a standard photo (live focus disable and everything in auto) the center of the photo looks good, but I see a fuzzy areas in the photos, most of them in the left side (like in the review). Does it happens to you? Could it be a camera software issue?

I have the last version of the security patch, that includes a camera update of slow motion

Many thanks!
