Did not expect the phone to be this good.
However, keep your expectations low towards battery life on a charge, one day is barely managable.
Great day to day phone, not having a charger is a bummer
Good weight distribution, okayish display, good connectivity and calling. Pretty good size for almost every use case

First, let me be clear – this phone is not for gaming enthusiasts or camera lovers. If those are your priorities, I’d recommend spending a bit more and looking at other options.
The good news is that this phone comes with a MediaTek processor instead of Exynos, which is great. It has no heating issues, and I haven’t noticed any lag in 98% of my usage. The basics are done right – it includes a secondary noise cancellation mic, all essential sensors (including gyroscope and proximity sensors), and good sound quality for the price. The display is HD (not Full HD), but at this price point, it’s acceptable.
The camera is just okay for this budget, but it supports all 4G and 5G bands. This makes it ideal for casual users like seniors or older family members who mainly use it for calling, YouTube, WhatsApp, music, etc.
Pros:
MediaTek processor – better performance and efficiency than Exynos in this range
No heating issues and minimal lag
All essential sensors and a secondary noise cancellation mic
Good sound quality and full 4G/5G band support
Cons:
Build quality could be better – slight flex when pressing the back panel
No Gorilla Glass protection (at least Gorilla Glass 3 should have been included)
Overall: A solid budget-friendly Samsung phone for everyday use, especially for non-gamers and casual users.

Clean and smooth performance, especially if you were using a low order phone. More customizable options available. Also battery full charge in 1 hour and last for nearly 2 days with minimal usage. But not good if you already use other kind of brands earlier. But fingerprint sensor and some features are not working properly.

Bought this phone today.
Pros
Phone is fast for basic apps and has a nice speedy interface. Has a 3.5 mm jack hole for earphones. Nice sleek look and premium looking finish. Medium camera quality.
Cons
Was upset at receiving a Type C to C charging cable. This was bad because I couldn’t use my old charger for it. Luckily I had my old USB cable which I used for charging.
No dedicated SD card slot. 2 sim slot only. You need to remove 1 sim to fit the SD card. This was not mentioned in any of the reviews.
Played music on the phone and found that output was less even at max volume. Same with phone calls.
I’m giving a review after installing and using the phone for close to 8 hours in the day of receipt of the phone.
Samsung needs to work on the above issues and stop cutting corners on giving useless Type C to C charging cables and provide universal USB chargers with cable.
Have been using for 15 days. The phone is working fine. No heating or sound issues. Charging is a bit slow otherwise the interface is fast. No issues.

I’ve bought it early april and now I’ve used it for more than a month.
The ram plus doesn’t make much difference but 4gb is good enough for me and very light gaming.
The battery is really good for me who usually browses instagram and within an hour of use approx 10% of battery is used up which is fine for me.
The camera quality isn’t that good so don’t buy if you are a photographer.
there’s no charging brick so i use an old samsung 5v 1.5A charger and takes like an hour to charge from 50-80%. You might need an adaptor to change from usb c to normal usb to use the cable inside
There’s both fingerprint and face unlock.
The sim card holder can hold two sim cards or one sim card and one sd card.
I will update this post when I’ve used it for a year.
If you’re someone who’s not familiar with buying phones online and exchanging read carefully:
For exchange, you need the phone you want to exchange its IMEI and go for exchange but make sure you don’t add to cart but click buy so that you can check if the exchange is available. If it takes you to the payment section, exchange is available in your area.
Make sure you factory reset the phone first and then fill up the space in your phone with movies or videos till 100% storage and then reset your phone again.
You’ll have to login with a Gmail account that’s not important with no personal information and then download rabbit exchange on playstore and log out of gmail.
Make sure you have wifi or hotspot during exchange
For buying the phone, make sure you watch unboxing videos and check the imei after buying from Amazon . i suggest you take screenshots of the videos and compare the screenshots and imei from Amazon. Make sure you check where the seals are
Do check how a phone should look when turning on for the first time. It should have a welcome or hello screen or something similar.
When delivery driver comes, check all of these points and turn on the phone but don’t put sim card in yet until you are happy with the phone.
Check camera, speaker or what is important to you. You can ask chatgpt for help too.
If you aren’t free at home, ask a friend or someone trusted to check the phone for you and record the delivery if possible and if some defects happen, reject the delivery.
Sometimes sellers give you second hand even though you asked for a new product, so do check during delivery. Most delivery persons are patient in my experience as long as you’re not annoying and waste their time. Make sure you create a list of what to check to not waste time
It’s also a good idea to buy a phone cover and tempered glass
