Beautiful slick design. Great camera performance in day and night time. Superb selfie portraits. Extremely powerful handles every task you throw at (demanding games included). The only downfall is battery life and the notch. If you use mobile data frequently (even if you're not using 5G). If you're on wifi only you should expect around 7 h of medium resource intensive use. If you're only using social media expect the battery to be higher.
