Cheap plastic materials, MIL-STD-810G compliant is just a fake
Old fashoined battery
Missing macro mode for camera
Hell of Samsung bloatware
A quite useless Xcover button
No TWRP/custom ROMs?

I wish a phone like this still existed. I actually like the physical buttons, they are more convenient to use than those virtual buttons that you have to make reappear first. These days you can't find a new phone that fits in your pocket, and this one also has a jack audio port, which I also love! Samsung should start understanding that not everyone wants an overly tall phone!

Phone was rendered unusable by Samsung after the latest update. Since updating, the phone lags when performing basic tasks. For instance, when scrolling through a web page or app, the screen would freeze up and disregard any input, only to moments later rapidly execute the touch input the device received earlier while it was in a locked state. When playing media of any kind (stream or local) the device would sporadically glitch out during playback (video is stuck, audio turns into distortion/noise for some milli seconds). The exact same problem happens while playing games such as CoDm or Pubg. I have been desperately waiting for a performance fix but it has been more than a year already and it seems that this was the final update for this device. If you own this device and are on Android 10, then DO NOT UPGRADE. it seems that Samsung did not properly optimize the newer firmware before it was rolled out. I had a similar issue with my old Samsung tablet (samsung tab 3, jb to kk upgrade ) which leads me to believe that Samsung does this on purpose to get the user to buy the latest models. I will not be buying their bloated overpriced devices again and buy my next device from a Chinese manufacturer instead.

Best phone I ever owned. Bought it Second hand for 80 dollars ''76Euro's'' and used it for 3 consistent years, never replaced the battery used the one that was in it the whole time. The phone worked pretty decently for 3 RAM only, the rear camera took clean shots and the size makes the phone fit in any pocket which is amazing.
Moreover, the armor of this phone helped me survive a couple of accidents, and the design of the edges makes for a really strong grip.
- I would give this phone a Solid 8/10, was amazing and held on with me through everything

Unpopular opinion here: this is one compact, sturdy framed phone with some of the most sought after old phone features. The imapct of eMMC is barely noticeable in normal usage, even less so a problem if your app collection consists mainly of lighter weight foss apps. Interestingly, OneUI on top of the small screen make this phone super usable since the combo puts everything across the screen reachable.
Perhaps the most glaring shortcoming on this otherwise sustainable package is the utter lack of US bands, and sadly its dual SIM, "international" version is no exception to this limitation.

to whomever might say phone is slow - hw wise everything is plenty enough EXCEPT the god damn pairing of pretty recent version of android with eMMC from 10 frikin yrs ago.
i guess this the corner samsung had to cut with this phone for the price range.
not an everyday phone, just for utility/backup now ( at least since the last update almost a year ago)

This is my backup phone and I'm almost looking forward to my main phone breaking down as it is a joy to use: good size, great handling.
Had Samsung made an upgrade with the camera - e.g. the hardware / sensor from the S9 - it would be my primary phone.
For now it's a brilliant backup which I intend to keep for ages.

this phone is rubbish! get it new from DPD as a scanner. I use it daily only for scanning (about 10 mins a day). the battery can't even last five days without recharging. my old htc one e8 with theoretically smaller battery lasts a week using 2h a day

Bought one brand new this week for £139 to replace my 14-year old son's Xcover 4 which he used for 3 years . It took me more than 2 hours before I could start using it because it downloaded so many updates including Android 11 UI3.1 and 01May2022 Google security patches . Screen seems to be a lot better than XCover 4. Even the loudspeaker seems a lot better better. I am tempted to buy another to be used as my backup phone and SatNat because it's cheap now and it has newer OS, better engine, bigger ram, 2x internal ROM, better camera f1.7.

This phone almost looks like a rugged version of the J2 Prime that my mum used to have. Heck, the dimension looks almost identical between the two.
