Great phone if you don't listen to podcasts. It has a feature, where if you're listening to audio with pauses, like a conversation, it will switch off the audio output after about a second of dead-air, then switch it back on again when it the signal starts up again. The issue is there's a lag when it starts up again, so you end up missing the first few words of the following sentence. It happens if your listening to Bluetooth or through the usb port, but not through the internal speaker. It's obviously been programmed in as a short-sighted power-saving feature, but it cannot be turned off, and no Samsung technician can fix it over the phone. Their only solution is to completely wipe your phone and take it to a physical technician. This is absolutely unnecessary, as ... MoreGreat phone if you don't listen to podcasts.

This is absolutely unnecessary, as it's not a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and Samsung can't admit it or rectify it. My experience with Samsung has been utterly woeful - it's as if they didn't make the phone, consideringhow little they know abput how it operates. .. Great way to waste $1400...

I upgraded from the S21+ expecting nothing less than what I already had and I am most definitely not disappointed. Running my own business, I use the esim to keep all in the same phone. Smooth connections without interuption and easily set up (including required VM). And assisting to run a manufacturing business has also not slowed this unit down. I access many programs at once whilst also on calls and the phone continues to run without issue. Honestly, I've had laptops that have crashed having similar programs open. Also worth noting the bandwidth!!! I travel rural and far north regional QLD and have an exceptional service through the travels. Battery has been fantastic with the pressure of all it's been put through too! I've been running office suite, websites, ... MoreI upgraded from the S21+ expecting nothing less than what I already had and I am most definitely not disappointed.

I travel rural and far north regional QLD and have an exceptional service through the travels. Battery has been fantastic with the pressure of all it's been put through too! I've been running office suite, websites, excel formulation documents, discord design programs, games (yes, got to have an escape from reality sometimes!) and more and the battery has held still for almost 3 days (keeping in mind, the only time this phone is not being utilised at a user end is when I am sleeping). All in all, if you are looking for a phone that can handle a multitude of tasks at once, need something with a great range for reception, awesome camera captures (inc video) and are linking several programs at once - this is the unit you are looking for. The only way to add more value would be to add the Samsung Care +, just in case you are prone to breakages ;)

It's a lot faster than my Galaxy S8 by far. It's very similar to my S8 so it's not difficult to use and navigate. I like the larger screen so icons, fonts, videos are larger, etc. I like the edge lighting for notifications. There really aren't any significant new features, except the camera, of course. The three cameras are great. I just miss that you can't zoom on the camera when taking a selfie. I like that the fingerprint sensor is on the front touchscreen. I was disappointed that there weren't more new, enhanced features (at least none that I noticed or stood out to me).Also, a few things that I don't like:I don't like the scroll feature. You used to be able to swipe left or right, like when viewing text whether in a form or document or URL, but now you have ... MoreIt's a lot faster than my Galaxy S8 by far.

You used to be able to swipe left or right, like when viewing text whether in a form or document or URL, but now you have to drag the marker to where you want to go in the text, but it moves too fast so you have to keep going back and forth until you get to where you want to be (to edit a word, for example)The copy function is iratic and not user-friendly at all and I use this feature constantly! Sometimes, when you press and hold, to start copying, it just brings up a magnification view. I'll keep trying and trying, but it just won't bring up the copy feature. You have to completely exit and close everything out and go back in and see if it works (and sometimes the copy will then work). This is a huge hassle when you were trying to copy something from a website, because then you have to navigate back to the website, find the section you were trying to copy, etc., etc. Also, sometimes, you have to try like 6, 7, 8+ times before it registers and starts to copy - it's like I have to press extremely hard (I feel like I'm going to crack the screen, that's how hard you have to press; and it hurts my finger!)The keyboard is too sensitive and keeps bringing up special characters when I swipe text.Keyboard is not that great at detecting my words when swipe texting and I have to keep editing.Voice input is not that great at detecting my speech and I don't have a speech impediment or anything. For example, I kept saying "thick" and it would not put that word no matter how many times I tried (which was about 12 times); it kept putting "sick". I have up and just typed it.Google Assistant is really bad. It hardly ever brings up correct information to my questions. For example, I might ask "Where are the bubble popups for Facebook Messenger?" and Google will respond with information that has nothing to do with my question or even Facebook! It'll come back with something totally irrelevant, like "The gravity on the moon is...."I don't like that you have to drag the top notification bar all the way down to the bottom of the screen to adjust brightness. It should be just 1 swipe down (like 1/4 of the way down) like it used to be or put it in the volume button options.
