Pros:
- the beautiful, large screen is perfect for multi-tasking, for example: texting somebody about a vacation destination and taking quick screenshots and sending it right to them on the other side of your screen
- The external cameras are an amazing improvement from last year, likely because Samsung tuned their auto-ai-whatever image processing.
- the foldable screen makes it it's own stand! YouTube even has a built in mode that turns the bottom half into the video controls!
- The springs don't drag it open or close like my flip, so I can stand it at almost any angle!
- materials make it feel premium! Samsung put a lot of effort into perfecting the foldable feeeling of quality. I also own an S24 ultra and they feel almost identical in terms of trust I have in the physical design and materials. Extremely well machined!
- using the outside screen doesn't feel terrible and cramped as I had expected. It's a lot like when I got my flip and thought it was weirdly tall, but I got used to it.
- ecosystem integration is finally to a point I can recommend people get everything Samsung, like the watch, ring, and tablets! Copy and paste works, if I need to open a message on my phone from my watch, I can immediately just open my phone, copy an OTP, etc.
Ehhh:
- Battery life is middling, it will last you all day, BUT with low-medium use. I am in a job where I use it around 4 hours a day and it struggles to be at even 20% at the end of my day.
- Samsung bloatware is Mostly removable, I miss my pixel phones with completely uninstallable to no bloatware. I hate that we have non-uninstallabke bloatware like AR camera or Bixby (Google assistant FTW)
Cons:
- app support is getting closer to being more widespread but still not where it needs to be, some apps have issues with both the external and internal display ratios, whether it be too skinny to display things, or too wide to display things properly.
- front/internal camera is terrible, it is taking a picture through the screen, but it is simply unacceptably bad
- Brightness of the screen is not enough for outdoor use. I went to a local restaurant today and noticed I could barely see the screen with extra brightness enabled in overcast weather.
Overall 8.5/10
TL:DR
Physical design is impeccable, however software support and battery life hold it back from being what Samsung envisions: the perfect compact phone. 8.5/10
Going from a single screen phone to this amazing multi screen foldable was to me night and day. My vision is not the best so I normally get the larger screen phones to assist in that regard. Not counting all the other features that I am loving, just being able to flip open the phone into a much larger tablet like screen is so helpful. Unless looking at the screen from an angle I can barely even notice the crease in the center of the foldable screen and as for touch its only noticeable when using an s-pen.
Coming from the Note 9 the front screen was a little narrower but not by much. This device doesn't have those beveled screen edges so you get more room for the actual screen. Having the the fingerprint scanner on the side makes it much easier to unlock single handedly as well.
As for the cameras, coming from an older model these things blow my mind. They can take such clear pictures even in lower light situations. There are three that come with this phone and each has there own boons.
The speed of the device is also a great improvement from my old phone. I am able to quickly navigate apps as well as play games without any issues. The device keeps up with multiple tasks running without any performance degradation.
Overall I am blown away with how this tech has advanced and loving this new device. I have only had this for a about a week so far and will update this review if anything changes.
