          Nightingale, 01 Nov 2023Update: Now I got the green line🙂Update:

          Even my device got a line, I had no money to do a screen replacement. After about two or three months, phone is barely usabe because there's 13 colorful lines🙂. Then I decided to go for a cheap option, to buy a LCD screen from aliexpress for $45 because I'm not ready to take a risk and buy an OLED one, which might cause faults again. Lcd arrived, I replaced by myself and then phone is usable again. 5 months for now, screen is working without any issues. 120Hz supported but no fingerprint and adaptive brightness for this display.

          About battery life, It is really worse right now. Screen on time is about 4 hours normal use (no gaming. just calls and social media)

            Had this phone for nearly 4 years now. Never had a drama with it except for the battery. After a few tweaks and a phone call to Samsung it works quite well now. The camera and video is excellent. Love this phone I hope it lasts me another 3 years.

              SHAUN, 14 Sep 2024This is by far the worst phone I have ever used. The camera is horrible and the new 5g network... moreContrary to SHAUN my experience with this phone is nothing but positive. The camera is awesome compared to the Pixel 4 and later iPhone 12 I was using. I don't do Tiktok or Instagram video for I'm no social media "queen". Rather, I use only the rear camera. I also like to go into Pro mode so I could choose lower shutter for low light places. The 64MP 1X lens blows any pre-2022 phones out of the water. The only downside to this phone is battery life, which is expected from the Exynos processor.

                            This is by far the worst phone I have ever used. The camera is horrible and the new 5g network is so slow AND kicks me off the internet for extended periods of time. Complete waste of your money.

                                  I bought this refurbished from giffgaff cause my old iphone xs max had a green saber light. Damn, this phone is still very snapy even after 3 years. Battery still holds up well too.
