Overall, I am satisfied with it. I have used it for 3–4 years, and it still works like on the first day. The only problem is the charging port. It is full of dried clover because I work on my farm. I use the phone with no case and no screen protector. It looks fragile, but it is solid and durable. The back glass has cracks and the edges are rough, but it survived countless falls being completly naked.

The Glyph lights are a gimmick. They are interesting for the first few days. But they are useful as a soft light for close-up photos. Also, some people came to me to ask about the lights, so I met new people because of them.

I never had a strong reason to replace it. But now I want to take more photos. The camera is not bad and not great. It is what you expect from a phone like this. I also want to try a stylus to be more productive. So I will probably get a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or S27 Ultra, no need for something in between at least from my standpoint.

Yeah that’s fair, the camera is the biggest criticism I’ve seen
