Аппарат крутой, есть много интересных фишек. Интересный дизайн и формат экрана (узкий, немного вытяннутый). Звук динамиков просто бомба. Мощная батарея с функцией беспроводной реверсивной зарядки. Телефон не как у всех, но в силу своей нераспостраненности проблемы с поиском аксессуаров в виде защитной пленки экрана или качественного чехла обеспеченны. Пробовал наклеить гидрогелевую пленку, но затея провалилась, отклеиваются углы из за сильно загнутого экрана. За время пользования экран успел покрыться мелкими царапинами, что обидно. Буду искать решения данного вопроса. В общем и целом сам аппарат очень нравится.

Phone is decent...but 5G is a massive failure

While the screen and features of this phone are decent, it's important to recognize the differences between the carrier versions. Any praise for the screen (which despite the name, ISNT edge to edge) is immediately trumped by it's inability to connect to any sort of 5G signal from Verizon for long. Any use requiring mobile data, phone calls, or texting is hampered by the 5G network settings/hardware on the phone. It'll connect for 2 minutes, then drop for 10 minutes of oblivion. No settings tomfoolery has any effect, airplane toggling doesn't work, resetting network settings is a fools mission, and even restarting device is fruitless. You just have to wait. Any work you're doing is cut off again when the signal drops. Oddly enough, none of this is reflected in the bars onscreen. Verizon says in response, " Not all areas have a great signal, sir.". Well, obviously. But nationwide 5G is the advertising gimmick. They're pushing 5g phones and easily SOLD me one. And as for the area of service, I live in the 7th largest city in the United States... 🤷♀️ Returning mine, and recommend you spare yourself the aggravation for the time being.
