Large phone is large

No Samsung Pay MST
And slower charging than the S20 Ultra
100x Space Zoom still feels like a gimmick
S Pen implementation feels half-hearted
I still find the animations and general layout of One UI to be clunky and overstuffed. And the settings app is a nightmare for finding anything. Also
The phone advertises to you. Gross
Even with a $200 cut compared to the last phone
This phone is still
It's heavy
Lacks a microSD card slot
$1
200 is still expensive
Still big and bulky to carry and use
Especially with an S Pen case on
$1200 gets you just 128GB
No charger
Earbuds
Or memory card
The new ultrasonic finger scanner is still comparatively slow
