Obviously it's not compact, it's a big screen.
Battery life is basically 1 day, so it won't last several days at a time, but then it is quite powerful, so it's a trade-off.
This model has a huge memory. The Note 20 is rather more expensive, and the S22 Ultra costs a fortune with the same memory, so this one is definitely value for money. This model can have either an extra SIM or a micro SD card, which is just icing on the cake.
The phone stands up well in 2023 against much newer phones and of course has the wonderful S pen.
I've had this phone for 3 to 4 weeks now and it has been quite remarkable, I like the size of the screen, the speed at which it works and some of the facilities. I have not fully worked out how it all works yet but I'm watching many YouTube videos that help understand the phone better. It's ideal for remote working and portability without having to carry a laptop. I bought the white dome glass protector and this is a nice finish however the fingerprints don't always work to unlock the phone however this is not such a big problem as I use face recognition most of the time. I've also bought an ESR case which is very nice especially with the transparent back which shows off the colour of the rear.
Was a bit apprehensive to start with but I am pleased I bought it.
It's fast, easy to use and looks lovely.
I know it's a bit expensive but it's worth it.
