Battery life is legitimately competitive, as is the effective charging rate (between 5:45 and 6:45 from a 15 minute charge depending on whether it's used open or closed). Of course that's still a bit behind Oppo (about 7:12 closed), but this has a rather different form factor that I can see people preferring. It's just unfortunate the one labelled Ultra seems to be worse in both aspects.

        The explanation provided to justify Samsung's perceived lack of customer appreciation is not entirely satisfactory. While a basic cable is included, a 45-watt charging brick is not. It seems that after investing nearly $2,000 in a phone, one is still required to purchase a 45-watt charger separately. I have observed that Samsung frequently inquires about product recommendations during the checkout process, yet there appears to be no follow-up after the purchase. I am curious as to the reason for this, but not really!๐Ÿ™„

                            When will GSM start penalizing Samsung/Google/Apple for refusing to keep up with the competition and make larger batteries with faster charging?

                            Every year I follow these companies, look up the specs of their new phones and think to myself "nope, guess I'm buying something else again for another year"

                              the fact the inner screen is not true 16.10 is a big disappointment. another is while going through the review there is so many small negatives like there is no bass no resonance chamber no proper hdr certification for screen( at first it was mentioned there is any for cover screen then later it was mentioned there isn't any for the inner screen as well so not sure which one have or doesn't it seems to be mistake on gsmarena part.
