Keyboard is way t... moreThe only half-decent phones samsung makes are its flagships (galaxy and note)...all the other models cost $50-100 more than similarly equipped devices, they're full of the usual bloatware and drop in value faster than any phone. Namely this phone still costs about $300 wlile its competitors like the P8 lite sell for $200 and you can see this trend in all samsung models, because of the huge market recognition they think they can sell all the crap they want at the price they like. I guess the lesson here is never buy a non-flagship samsung and even those cost more than an iphone at launch...

I'm little mad on this phone. I bought it 2 months ago, and I have android 7.0 from the begining. In first moment I saw briliant battery life, I have 9-10 hours of SoT, but quickly i understand why, because I was conected by WiFi. When I'm outside home, without wifi, my SOT is around 5h on 3G or LTE .... my two years old phone with 2600mAh battery have the same SoT. I have power save mode turn on, and everything I dont need is off, so almoust all phone is off, all aps are killed in background. I didnt expect so poor battery life. I do factory reset with thinking that will change something but no. Im on december patch. I think I should buy S7 because it have the same SoT outside the house. I dont need 10h Sot in home. Maybe someone will have a solution for me, or maybe they will do some better patch in the future. Sorry for my english.

-The selfie camera is a bummer. 16MP sounds great, but its focus is fixed, which means that near objects will look good, but far away objects will get blurred, which gives the photos an unprofessional feel. The back camera got it right, but it lacks 4K video recording for some reason. There are cheaper devices than can do 4K recording. That's one of the reasons midrange Snapdragons are way better than Exynos midrangers.
-Samsung Experience it's not one of my favorite UIs. Yeah, looks nice and all, but its response is a bit sluggish, but transition animations are smooth. Motorola devices are faster because they use a lighter UI, which in turn gives a better user experience.
-This phone gets hot while charging, but that's normal, and you always can disable fast charging if you get any worries. Any everyday load won't heat up the phone, but games can and heavy games definitely will.

I hope this help you in any way.
