      Initially all (5G network) calls were not attended but amounts got detected, telecom isv will have call history where we didn't attend calls.

      Wifi frequently going off and mobile data consumed.
      Frequently restarting after android 12 update.

      Recommended not to buy this device.

      Bugs Bugs and Bugs on every update

                  I've had two Samsung galaxy phones and they seem to disappoint me every time. I received this as work phone and have found the following flaws:
                  - Touchscreen is not working well, hard to open with fingerprint
                  - Although equipped with Snapdragon 750 5G, the phone feels slow and unresponsive
                  - Logs you out from every single application every day
                  - Large and not very aesthetic
                  - Really not liking the galaxy theme. Not intuitive.
                  Some positives:
                  - OK camera which works in low light
                  - QR code reader readily installed
                  - Good storage, good battery life
                  If you want a good android phone, this is not your choice.

                    I have this phone for almost 1 year now, an HD display is not a big deal, the Snapdragon 750 5G, Super AMOLED display, 5,000mAh Batt. and a 6GB RAM + 4GB Ram plus support with a long time System update support upto One UI 4.0 is really much a big deal, besides it is a Gaming Midrange Monster, After a several big software updates it doesn't even got slowed down a bit, still a very good smartphone, A future proof midrange gaming device with a beefy battery.

                        In my opinion the critics are very ol because right now i see vids with 4k reselution i play call of duty andbothers withput it biggying .
                        I think since 1 year ago the actualization of the phone made him a very goo ld phone so good in fact in my contry when i bought it it was the only samsung to stop being on the shelfs due to samsung sending little phones heres.
                        So ye its a good phone handles all on display.

                              I never buy dirt from Samsung again.I never buy dirt from Samsung again.
                              The daughter shuffled the google account password don't remember the email and now the phone is useless.Try all possible solutions with Youtube however, the cell phone can no longer be unlocked.Samsung has installed the KNOX spy chip and leave no changes to the new application because he would no longer be able to spy.
                              It is also the purpose of the scam that in such a case you have to buy a new cell phone.
                              OK BUT NO SHIT FROM SAMSUNG NEVER AGAIN.

                                        The screen is not responsive when trying to open. The facial recognition is slowwwww. The phone comes on in my pocket. I don't recommend it.
