Grounded in published specifications

Who should buy this
Anyone who keeps a phone four years or longer. Nothing else near this price supports that.
Who should avoid this
Buyers who want the fastest chip at the price — the Exynos 1380 is not it.

Right product for the right person
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone who keeps a phone four years or longer. Nothing else near this price supports that. On that basis it has been the right call. 4 Android upgrades and 5 years of patches, unmatched at this price.

Does the one thing I bought it for
4 Android upgrades and 5 years of patches, unmatched at this price. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 6000 mAh battery with IP67 water resistance. Been using it now for two months.

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Buyers who want the fastest chip at the price — the Exynos 1380 is not it. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Be ready for one thing — 222 g is noticeably heavy
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: 222 g is noticeably heavy. 1000 nits is dim next to rivals hitting 2000+. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: 4 Android upgrades and 5 years of patches, unmatched at this price. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Holding up so far
Had this a full season now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. 6000 mAh battery with IP67 water resistance. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 222 g is noticeably heavy. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
