Friends+Design
- Compact dimensions, solid aluminium build, elegant design
- The fingerprint sensor at the back is quick to unlock
Display
- Modern 5.6-inch 18.5:9 tall aspect display
- Only an Okay-ish AMOLED display in terms of quality - not quite up to the high standard Samsung usually sets with its screens - the resolution could have been higher too
Software
- No notification LED, or always-on-display - so you end up having no way of knowing if you have any new notifications without waking up the phone
Performance
- Samsung's Experience UI is one of the nicer Android UIs around - and adds stuff like a more versatile multi-tasking implementation, 'Secure folder' to keep files, memos, and apps away from prying eyes, and 'Game launcher', to core Android functionalities
- Underpowered chipset, day-to-day performance is decent, but thats about it - Samsung misses the bus here by including a weak chipset - most of the competition (especially the Snapdragon 600 series phones) is much better in terms of performance
Camera
- Good rear camera in daylight conditions - detail is good, and the overall processing is very natural
- Very good selfie camera - captures a lot of detail, faces are in sharp focus at arm's length distance, and are on point - there's also a portrait mode for selfies that works well
- Rear camera performance in low light is pretty average
Audio
- Good audio quality via headphones and loudspeaker (Loud speaker is pretty loud too)
Battery
- Good battery life - will last the day with moderate to heavy use
- No fast charging support
More
- It is a device that slips easily in a pocket and is very comfortable to handle
- Uses the old microUSB port, instead of the modern USB-C standard
