Let me sum it up for you
Kimovil users describe it as a compact and powerful mobile, offering excellent value for money as a premium high-end device. They highlight its fluidity, performance, and cameras, considering it a great option even years after its launch. However, battery life is the most controversial point, although many find it acceptable for its size.
Design & Materials
According to our users, the screen is excellent, with sharp colors, great brightness (up to 1750 nits), and a 120 Hz fluidity that makes a difference, although some note difficulties under direct sunlight.

You can feel the snapdragon. Really fast and lasting battery.
HOWEVER
They degraded the screen resistance. Just 1 month in it was scratched already.
I wonder how each year they say it's better, and still gets scratched with far less hard items like keys or coins. Mention I always take care of the screen, and still 1 month after got scratched. Apparently newer version is better for falls but worse for scratches.Pros- CPU
- Battery life compared to previous versions
- Camera 3x
- Fall resistance
Cons- Scratching resistance
- Lot of dust stuck in the cameras, hard to clean
- Ultra charge removed, just slow or "fast"

View answers - Best phone ever used
It's probably the best phone I have ever used. I have used a fold 4 and an iPhone 14 Pro and it's superior of them. No lag,
almost perfect photos and very good in every aspect. My only bit of problem is in the summer when, like every phone, needs an extra 30-40% charge through the day.Pros- Processor
- Camera
- Connectivity
- Features like DeX
- Sound
Cons- Battery sometimes
- Charging speed

I don't regret buying it but I hated when it forced me into samsung ecosystem. it glitched bluetooth connections while using huawei freebuds 4 (music connectivity is turned off automatically while still connected for calls), there was no obvious solution but to buy the new galaxy buds3 which solved the issue
I don't think this issue is specific to this phone but samsung itselfPros- size is just right to the hands
- camera performance is great for photos and videos
- Battery is not very bad
- Don't really miss the s pen
Cons- camera zoom is good only at strong lighting
- Forced me into its ecosystem (earbuds)
- brightness suffer a little when overheated at sun
