Great phone.the screen is good. The touch screen is great with a pen stylus. Easy to secures phone .the value is great for me

I have had this phone for about one week now and could not be happier. This is literally the best smart phone I've ever owned. It could very well be the category killer that the BlackBerry was, then the iPhone.Let's start with what's new. Obviously, the form factor. Folded up, the phone fits in any pocket. Wear jeans? You will no longer have to choose between your phone slipping out of your back pocket or fitting uncomfortably in the front. Phone cases will be a thing of the past, as the clamshell design provides all the protection you need. When closed, you still have access to notifications, your camera, clockface, and more. You will also have a brand new way of using your phone in its "laptop" configuration. Serving as its own stand, you can set your phone on the desk at the perfectly readable angle.What's the same? Samsung's state of the art technology. Professional camera controls that Apple can't emulate. Crystal clear display. Power sharing. When paired with the BlackBerry Launcher, you will have unparalleled power and organization at your fingertips. (iPhone users are stunned when they see my phone in operation). Samsung has retained the fingerprint sensor, moving it from the display to the power button. Great move and still the best way to open your phone when stuck with a mask on. The facial recognition has also improved, so when you aren't wearing a mask, the phone usually opens almost immediately when you open the cover.Where are the compromises? I have only noticed two. The battery is smaller (by about 20%). I have Qi chargers all over my house and office, and I have a pretty good habit of putting my phone on one when not in use. If you're still plugging in to charge, you may need to find a different way to manage your charge. (Hint: I keep my old, fully-charged S20 in my backpack and can use that to power share, if needed). Also, there are only two camera lenses instead of three. If you regularly flip between all three lenses, you may feel constrained.

Now step back. At first, based on my headline, you would think that I am about to bash on this phone. Well, I am but first I wanted to talk about what did I love about this phone.First, of course, is its foldable screen. Now I will say that this is purely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a gimmick. It doesn't make the phone better. It doesn't make it faster. It's 100% just to have a foldable phone. That said, it does drastically reduce the size that it takes inside your pocket. Not to mention its sleek design given off by the smooth surface of the outside. This is quite a beautiful phone.HOWEVER, I have doubts that this phone had gone through much testing or that this technology is not ready for such daily use as not even a year later; To no one's surprise (I guess besides my own), the phone's lower half screen had completely turned a solid color. A whole grand down the drain. There was nothing I could do.Sure the amount of personalization was cool. Having a smaller screen on the outside when folded to see notifications without having to open the phone was neat. It even lets you add pictures or even gifs onto it which was insanely cool.Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that this phone is a gamble. Unless you're one of those sheeple who buy a new phone every time one of these phone companies breath, I suggest you look for a cheaper alternative.Quite the shame too, as this was probably my favorite Galaxy phone and I have been a Galaxy connoisseur for almost a decade now.

This is by far and away the best phone on the market. When opened it is actually larger than my last phone and when closed, it easily fits in any pocket. I-Phone has nothing like it. The phone is fast, easily read and takes dynamite photographs. Its' only downfall is the battery life which seems to be slightly shorter than my last phone, that said, it has not been an issue. Apple beware, you have nothing like this!

I will start by saying that at first, I loved this phone. It was awesome. 3 months in, I opened the phone to answer a call, and I had trouble with the touch screen. The top portion of the phone was not responsive to touch. I also noticed that the area inside the fold was no longer displaying any of the screen. Upon very close inspection, It looked like there were tiny cracks under the screen protector at the fold location.I called Samsung and explained the issue in detail. I was assured that it was to be repaired under warranty. Two weeks later, I am contacted and told that it is no longer under warranty due to physical inspection. I have spent the last week on numerous calls, to figure out why this is no longer under warranty. I was told that the inspection showed a slight divot under the camera. There was no such divot when the phone left my possession. I took extremely high resolution photos of every angle of my phone before I packaged it and shipped it to Samsung, so I am 100% confident of this statement. I reviewed every photo, and there was not one scuff, scratch or "divot" anywhere on the phone. All of the surfaces were in mint condition.I asked to see a photo of the "damage" that they were referring to. Conveniently, Samsung "can't" provide me with proof of the damage... just their word. This is unbelievable. This phone is 90 days old. Upon further digging, I am now finding hundreds of cases of the same type of treatment from Samsung to their customers with similar type complaints on these fold-able devices. Buyer beware!
