    Back to Samsung

    After a spell with Xiaomi, which was a really pleasant experience for me, I'm going back to Samsung - there's no competition against them in Android at the moment, or it's too weak.

    The phone is very good, the battery lasts a long time, the photos are excellent, I don't play with it but after a few tries it's fluid, the sound is very good.

    The stylus is very smooth to use, which surprised me!

    I have one regret about the intensity of the colours on the screen, which I find weak even when set to vivid, but then I'm not a phone addict, so that's not what matters most to me.

    Compared to Xiaomi, there's a big lack of freedom of customisation in general, but the phone runs well as it is.

    Happy with this purchase, I hope it will last me like my two previous phones for at least 5 years.

    The best Android phone I've had to date, with smooth menus, photo quality and battery life that live up to my expectations. I'd recommend this phone.
