What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is one of the most complete phones available, with long battery life, fast performance, a bright anti-reflective screen, versatile cameras and the S Pen. The common complaints are the higher price and charging that lags rivals; TechRadar also found it big and heavy with features buried in menus, and GSMArena noted display flaws and uneven zoom quality.
