  Gorgeous waterproof phone with some shortcomings

  + I love the IP68 waterproofing
  + Nice to have an audio-jack backup, the standard earbuds are rel. good.
  + Audio assistant finally gives me the option to have a per-app audio level. Dual bluetooth audio output is a nice feature.
  + The screen is big and yet it's easier to handle than my old OPO (5.5"), the edge to edge display looks very slick
  + Camera makes great pictures, the OIS seems above average as well
  
  - Fingerprint scanner is placed in an awkward position, does get easier over time.
  - Fingerprint scanner is nowhere near as accurate or fast as my old OP3, but gets better with practice.
  - Bixby button, somehow this got more annoying over time. A lot of key commands missing as well and no remapping freedom.
  - Doesn't last half a day when on holiday + shuts down at 15% in cold weather.
  - My OPO has better wifi reception in my house
  - Compass flips often (e.g. points in the opposite direction)
  - Depreciated QuickCharge2.0 standard. Miss the Dash charge quick top-ups.

  Pros

  • IP68 Waterproof
  • Dedicated Audio jack + audio assistant
  • Thin form factor but still big screen
  • Camera
  • Multitasking (split screen + floating window)

  Cons

  • Fingerprint placement + accuracy
  • Bixby implementation and button
  • Battery life
  • WiFi Signal strength
  • Compass accuracy
  • Old QuickCharge (2.0) + only when phone not in use

  • 8
  • Screen6.5
  • Performance8.0
