General overview during two months of ownership:
I had this phone for less than two months. I think it's a good enough smartphone. I only use this smartphone for normal everyday use such as web browse, text message, and watch less than ten videos that are less than 15 minutes long per day. The battery usually ends up at around 50% at the end of the day. I only charge my phone to 85% and that is what I start with at the start of the day.

Form factor:
In regards to the form factor of the smartphone, I like the shape and it is super easy to handle compared to my old S20 Ultra 5G. This fits so much easier in my pant pockets and jacket pockets. I love that fact that I don't have to use a sim card ejector tool in order to install my sim card or microSD card because of the removeable back cover. I love having removeable back cover.

Camera:
I love the fact that in normal camera mode the software makes the camera take super fast and in-focus pictures. I think this is really convenience for people who want to take a quick photo and not have to change modes or have to deal with manual camera settings. Easy to take a photo of items that I want to show to other people.

Battery:
Removeable! I bought spares!

Misc. complaints:
I wish I can buy an accessory to charge my spare batteries to 85% or a desire capacity.

Good phone, and the programmable keys are cool. This is the only current-gen phone I am aware of that still supports a headphone jack, removable battery, and an SD card. Rooting the phone and removing the Samsung+Google bloatware/spyware was simple, as is the case for all the other Samsung devices I have owned. For $600 as of 12/2022, I am very happy.

A note on carrier support: 4g functionality works on US domestic AT&T, 5g does not. When at the AT&T store they insisted this device would not work on their network AT ALL, but I insisted on getting a sim "for my other phone", and go figure, the xcover works fine with that sim.

So unless you are one of those "special" people that needs to stream 4k video on the bus, this is a fully functional phone on AT&T, and I highly recommend it over every single other phone made after the 3G shutdown.

PS, USBc charge brick is not included.

I FINALLY had to replace my LGV20 & it certainly wasn't an easy feat finding one as competent. Thank goodness for this one because it not only matched up to it's competency, it surpassed it in many aspects! First off, all phones should have a replaceable battery (an easily replaceable battery I suppose I should say). Due to my last phone having one I was able to hold on to it for many years longer than my friends and family held on to theirs without one, so that was a must have. Secondly, it's a newer phone but still sports an external jack, another must have! It's lightning fast compared to my LG (but to be fair to my old LG, it Was old and pretty much maxed out on RAM), and it's fully customizable, which is always nice, and the battery charges super fast and so far, lasts super long! The speakers are loud and great too! My only critics are that it's rather large (even longer than my LG) & the fingerprint sensor isn't as friendly as my LG's was... but if you're looking for a capable android that will last a long time and won't break your wallet, I'd say this is the phone!

pro:
removeable battery
ok battery life
sd card slot
headphone jack
2 fully programable buttons
its flat( i HATE) the curved edges hate them
cons:
screen is not the best but is still very good just not top of line
very slow charging like a full hour longer then the note 20 ultra or fold 4
its all plastic and i would not call it rugged (it is very nice and good in the hand just not rugged)
the speaker is about poop compared to the top of the rage phone
camera is still very good but think like note 10 plus or around that time for the top of the line. by todays standard it is only ok to good not great

in all i would say its worth the money if you miss the note 4 like i do. so many of the things i missed are here. it should come with a charger and and another battery. the only thing in the box is paperwork and the phone with one battery. the most suspiring thing to me is that i only notice a very little difference between the note 20 ultra or fold 4. thats crazy to me as im extremally hard on phones when it comes to usage not on the physical phone.

last thing that really pissed me off. there is no always on display.

One of the reviewers posted a very thorough review spelling out all the pros and a few minor cons. I'm a bit confused by another review that's stated that Samsung prevents Gboard from functioning on this device and that you can't use voice to text no matter what. Voice to text is all I use on this and all my Samsung devices, I can't text with my fingers for the life of me, it's way too time-consuming. As for Gboard, it works just fine on this phone but I prefer the Samsung keyboard. The only pet peeve I have so far with this phone is that the top and side key which provide the ability to Launch any app you choose including the flashlight will not turn on while the screen is off, i.e. the screen must be lit up in order for these key features to work which is counterproductive since the whole point of having these assigned keys are to Launch whatever you want quickly. I have no idea if this can be rectified in future updates but certainly hope so. Other than that, I'm very happy with this phone.
