The best Phone that money can buy
By Drew on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020
The cameras, the S-pen, the AMOLED screen quality, the 120 Hz refresh rate, the 5G data connection, the build quality, etc. are all top notch. This phone will probably hold the crown for best Android phone for a good while, and it has key feature bumps that made me especially want this phone--namely the 5G and the 120 Hz screen. I would definitely recommend a solid case if you're planning to spend this much money on a phone. I bought a Spigen case which effectively reduces the camera bump on the back to allow the phone to sit flat on a desk. The IP68 rating means that it will be fine with water and dust, but drop protection is still a must. I saw a stat recently that something like 2/3 of people report incurring drop damage to their phone (for all phones not specifically this phone). Other thoughts: I think it's interesting that most middle class people can afford the best phone that you can possibly purchase for a product that is in your pocket, everyday, all the time. You can't say that about cars, houses, clothes, but you could definitely swing buying the best phone that money can buy once every 3-4 years if it's important enough to you. For me it is, and I'm very happy with this phone. Lastly: Google Pixel, 1+, Apple, etc. can only hope to match some of the features that this phone has to offer, but I highly doubt that they will exceed this phone's specs on yet to be release products. Just my opinion as a phone guy, but the best that they could hope to do is give you a better value on specific features. If you're somebody looking for the best value on a calling and texting machine, then this phone is not for you. This phone is for somebody that wants the best cameras, pocket computing power, & screen quality that money can buy you right now.

Hate the Camera Bump
By fanight on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020
I knew this thing had a big camera when I bought it, but I thought I could get used to it. I can't. I hate it. Hopefully, I can find a suitable case to make it tolerable. I prefer to use my phone without a case, and you can't use this without a case. I will NEVER buy another phone with a camera sticking out of it. For reference I am coming from an S8+, which I really liked (except for the fingerprint sensor location). Ok, the good: - I surprisingly LOVE the stylus and its responsiveness. I didn't plan to use it at all, but find myself picking it up for note-taking, doodling, and just tapping around all the time. (Samsung, you got this exactly right!) - The screen is big and beautiful. - The processor and RAM in this phone make it super snappy. - Samsung has improved its OS. - The sound is much better than my previous Galaxy S. - The matte back does not showcase your fingerprints. - Wifi 6 & 5G -> excellent connection speeds. The bad: - The volume and power buttons are on the same side, and the volume button is above the power button. It is a wierd configuration and looks and feels silly. - The power button doubles as a Bixby (why do you even exist?) button. - This phone seems EXTRA sensitive on the edges. I have never had problems on Samsungs edge phones before, but this one registers random touches particularly on the top right. It's bad, and it messes me up a lot when I'm in the middle of something. - The battery is not bad, but it's meh. I could probably adjust some settings to make it better, but out of the box, it is not really impressive. - The big one -- The camera bump is GROSS. I really can't say enough bad things about this camera bump. Again, I knew it was big and I thought I could get used to it, but it's worse than I thought. - The camera bump - The camera hill - The camera mountain Overall, I am seriosuly tempted to return or sell this phone. I have had it for a little over two weeks and I just can't get over the akward camera and ghost touches on the edge. In terms of performance, screen, and features, I love this phone. IN terms of design, it may be the worst I've owned. What would make it perfect: No bump -- make the phone a touch bigger if you need to (it's a phablet), but for the love of everything holy, get rid of the camera bump; fix the button layout (ideally, scrap Bixby completely while you're at it); fix sensitivity on the edges; and make these things dual SIM with simultaneous SD card. UPDATE: The glass on the back of the phone is incredibly susceptible to breaks. I had the phone in a big honking case and a few weeks after a drop I went to change the SIM card and realized that back is cracked really bad. It appears to have originated from, wait for it, the area around the HUGE camera bump. Again, this thing had been in a huge case with rasied edges around the camera bump. I've seen several complaints elsewhere on the intenet about the fragility of the back of this phone. SUPER dissapointed!
