Great design, sound is great for TV, and customization options are amazing! Wallpapers can be placed on top of themes without interfering with custom themes. I love it, best part is that it's resistant to water damage. Living on the ocean makes that a must.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, water and sand resistant
Cons: a little pricey
I would recommend this to a friend!

My 1st Cell phone

As this is my 1st cellphone, the learning curve is steep. I recommend that one should NEVER skip any of the original installation/setup steps. There was an issue with the reseller, they put the phone on the wrong #, and when the setup was done it was only partially completed,and 4 weeks later I am still encountering issues. Great features!!! Solid support, quality built. Many excellent features, top or near top in class. The camera time lag between shots is *nonexistent*, this is a super feature, as well as the burst feature. Sharing photos is easy. Screens respond magically quickly, the split screen is great, the fingerprint security is great peace of mind. The ability to talk to text, once I resolved the kinks, is excellent. Medium:Sound quality better than Mxxxxxxx, not quite as good as the xxx10. That must be why the phone came w/headphones. Problems:For this phone(unlike my wife's xxx 10, the only way to do the setup is to kill all data and settings and start all over again, and after i had already spent 10-15 hours getting the phone partially functioning w/ some of the previous file data, I was unwilling to start from scratch. I found some of the OEM loaded apps difficult or non responsive. The keyboard was switched to Swift key, the bar code reader offered by Samsung didnt work, xxx Scanner does. Svoice doesn't seem to work as well as xxx Voice. The email and text message and contacts programs all needed changes or several attempt to make the settings and syncro work. After many hours of work, the phone does function better. After reading the whole manual twice, I still find my self stymed when the phone wants to load new apps I did not select to load, and then it locks up the old ap. I will say Samsung support and COMPANY OWNED xxx carrier store & support has been unfailingly polite and patient with my lack of knowledge and experience. The re-seller was worse than useless, as they permanently disabled my previous phone and that should never have happened. Still haven't figured how to unselect data download so large data downloads and syncs are done thru only wifi and not thru mobile data while I have the mobile data turned on so I can use the phone.
