That doesnt sound so nice.... well i plan to have the protective foil applied by a specialist shop that has a machine for this, so i hope that wont happen, and once the protective foil is applied, the screen should be safe, unless i drop it hard or something, right ?

Cheers

But yes screen has poor scratch resistance, my phone's screen got a minor but visible scratch when applying screen protector after receiving my order unit, shocking and disappointing, GG Victus is very poor scratch resistant, or may be it's Samsung's quality control issue I don't know, because in my unit there are dust particles under camera cover glass, I was shocked when I saw it. Unexpected from a company like Samsung.
    But still I am using this phone, spent more than 3 months with it, my battery life is okay, other functions like camera performance, connectivity etc are also good, no major concern.

      Thanks for your responses!

      Well, i guess, if you look enough you always find some bad comments but i hate purchasing phone and sending them back.

      People claim :
      bad battery ( most common, even some who claim not to play a lot / use it a lot in general )
      heating
      display getting scratches easily
      battery getting worse after a few months
      Bad Connection for phone calls
      and so on.... guess have to find out for myself

      Appreciate all your answers though, thank you very much! Gave me the courage to order it and going to test it.

Gaming is okay not excellent, I see some frame drops and lags while playing Asphalt 9 over 30 minutes continuously due to heating (there is summer now in India so ambient temperature is higher than average).

                          Prashant, 26 May 2023False. Camera opens quickly.Thanks for the respond. Mind me asking if you use the 6 or 8GB ram ? Since i am not gaming on my phone i wonder if the 6 GB Version will be enough, but considering i plan to use this phone many years, probably better to go with 8 GB?

Camera and Software is most important. Can somebody tell me whats the difference Between Single and Single New Edition ? Even though they only offer these two options on amazon, not on Samsung page. Anybody ever ordered directly from Samsung ? is it good ? Cheers

                                    If you're not a hardcore gamer then there's nothing wrong with the battery life on this phone, you must know that Samsung phones are not meant for intense gaming, casual gaming yes but not hardcore gaming! Even the latest S23 series won't last a day if you're glued to the phone 24x7. I've the exynos version and for me the battery easily lasts for a day with 5-6 hours of sot which is much higher than the regular S22 or S23.

                                      Turn on 'Suspend execution of cached apps' from developer option for battery and set processing speed to maximum

                                      I don't feel any battery drain and heating
