If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
It has a 200 MP main camera with 3x and 5x telephotos and scored 16.38 hours of active use, though GSMArena says the camera hardware drags behind the top Android camera phones and the CPU throttles under longer loads. I'd only buy it on sale, and the $1,149.99 samsung.com price I checked on November 1, 2026 may end after the 11/2 promo.
