First off, the 6.7" screen is *chef's kiss* for binge-watching. I sprawl on my couch watching TikTok compilations, and those colors pop—until comments glitch and force me to restart. Annoying? Yes. Dealbreaker? Not when the phone costs less than my monthly coffee budget.

The 48MP camera surprised me during a weekend hike. Macro shots of dew on spiderwebs? Crisp. But the selfie cam? Let’s just say my Instagram followers now see me in ‘mysterious soft focus’ mode.

Battery life is a trooper—5150mAh means I forgot my charger at work and still made it home with 20%. But that 18W fast charger? Mine lasted 3 months before the port gave up (RIP). Now I wireless charge like it’s 2023.

Pro tip: Program that side button for flashlight. Mine’s saved me during 3am fridge raids. Also, Android 12’s long screenshots are genius for capturing entire Twitter threads.

Would I buy it again? For $200-ish, absolutely—just with a backup charger and tempered expectations on video playback bugs.
