I've had two Samsung galaxy phones and they seem to disappoint me every time. I received this as work phone and have found the following flaws:
- Touchscreen is not working well, hard to open with fingerprint
- Although equipped with Snapdragon 750 5G, the phone feels slow and unresponsive
- Logs you out from every single application every day
- Large and not very aesthetic
- Really not liking the galaxy theme. Not intuitive.
Some positives:
- OK camera which works in low light
- QR code reader readily installed
- Good storage, good battery life
If you want a good android phone, this is not your choice.

I have this phone for almost 1 year now, an HD display is not a big deal, the Snapdragon 750 5G, Super AMOLED display, 5,000mAh Batt. and a 6GB RAM + 4GB Ram plus support with a long time System update support upto One UI 4.0 is really much a big deal, besides it is a Gaming Midrange Monster, After a several big software updates it doesn't even got slowed down a bit, still a very good smartphone, A future proof midrange gaming device with a beefy battery.

In my opinion the critics are very ol because right now i see vids with 4k reselution i play call of duty andbothers withput it biggying .
I think since 1 year ago the actualization of the phone made him a very goo ld phone so good in fact in my contry when i bought it it was the only samsung to stop being on the shelfs due to samsung sending little phones heres.
So ye its a good phone handles all on display.

The daughter shuffled the google account password don't remember the email and now the phone is useless.Try all possible solutions with Youtube however, the cell phone can no longer be unlocked.Samsung has installed the KNOX spy chip and leave no changes to the new application because he would no longer be able to spy.
It is also the purpose of the scam that in such a case you have to buy a new cell phone.
OK BUT NO SHIT FROM SAMSUNG NEVER AGAIN.

Gsmarena should have a way to verify the comments people make on this otherwise great website.

Fingerprint sensor very bad! very slow and often it doesn't work. Sound is also bad! overall camera is fine but not excellent!
My suggestion is not to buy this phone. Huawei P10 was much better according to my experience.

I bought this phone in the last week of July 2021. The phone has a good battery size, display and speed is amazing. I loved the looks of the phone but it keeps freezing from time to time and the mic + speakers used to stop working so I had to restart the phone every time.

Super long standby time. At least future proof for 5G. Don't be fooled by the "HD Only" display. It's barely noticeable and is a vwry good tradeoff with the long standby time. Great phone indeed.

Cc713, 15 Aug 2021It is not fast charging. It takes 2hours to fully charge. I... moreSure, your other points, but 2 hours isn't bad, not as fast as flagships, but for price range is good
