After 24 hours, I like it
Just received this yesterday. I had an S10e for my personal cell which I did not use much as I was generally using my work cell + I use MySMS for texting on my personal # that I did from my PC. Decided though that I was going to use my personal phone more, so wanted something bigger. I do not play games or anything CPU/GPU intensive on my phone, so figured this should fit the bill quite nicely. -Setup was easy. I use Nova Launcher Prime, so can customize icon sizes, layout, etc to my liking. -Read some reviews that on screen colors and pics weren't the greatest. Seems fine to me when compared to my iPhone XR. Maybe not quite the same, but close enough for me. -Battery life is the strong suit of this phone. -I kinda like the finger print sensor on the back. Easy to get with either of my pointer fingers. -Phone does not have facial unlock it seems. Not a huge deal, but is convenient on my iPhone, especially when I can use it for apps like my bank, etc to log in. -Apps load quickly, have had no issues there. -Made a few calls and they were clear -Used my noise cancelling headphones via bluetooth to listen to some music. Had some jumbled lag a couple of times, but very well could have been the headphones. Will see if this continues. -Something else I read in reviews was the 'cheap' look of the plastic back...well, I use a case, so who cares?? -If NFC and/or wireless charging are critical to you, then this is not the phone for you (Again, keep in mind the price point) as it has neither. I really don't use NFC and if I do, I use my apple watch or iPhone for it. I do like wireless charging, but not a big deal for me that I can't with this phone since I have to take off the case bc of the metal plate I use for magnet mounting in the car. Also, since the battery lasts so long, charging is not as critical most of the time. Bottom line, for $250 (Plus I used my citicard, so spread out over 6 monthly payments with no interest) you cannot go wrong here. Flagship phones these days seem to be total overkill for 90% of the users out there. If I am going to spend $1000 or more for a phone, I want it to cook meals, wash and fold my laundry and walk my dog - not give me a few extra fps for a game I am not even going to play.
