Verdict

This 2024 phone is that good. Samsung fit everything in there, a stylus, 6 cameras (!), the best screen in the industry (at the time) and (almost) 24 hours of battery life. In 2024, this was the best phone ever made by the world’s biggest phone making corporation. It had the most features too, by far. Samsung also included seven years (!) of OS updates as well as amazing desktop replacement (DeX) software. Consider that at 79 mm wide, this is a “two hands and a bag” phone.

PROs
SnapDragon 8 Gen 3 processor fast performance, 1400+nits 500+ppi LTPO AMOLED with HDR10+, 200MP OIS main + 10MP OIS tele + 50MP OIS tele and a 12MP ultrawide (all with PDAF), 12MP PDAF Selfie, top AI features trickling down with software updates, 7 years of OS updates, stylus with Bluetooth and of course: the DeX feature that may save you from buying a new computer
