Not alwasy hip to be square.
Phone owned for less than a month

What a disappointment this phone turned out to be. Steve Jobs was right when he said no one wants to use a stylus. It's pretty much wasted on this phone or any other Samsung Note that has ever existed. Samsung needs to go to a more stock Android look. They are straying too far from Google and it's slowing everything down.

Returned for iPhone 13 Pro Max
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Constant problems with this phone. I had to get a replacement the first time and then the second time I could never get it set up how I wanted it. Returned it for a proper phone. Some may fair better than me, but as for me I would never buy another Samsung product again,.
