I loved my old phone, was very reluctant to purchase a 5g phone. After 8+ years though, my phone was finally just unusable. I was looking for a very durable, water resistant / proof, Smart-phone with a very large screen, and it HAD to have a headphone jack. I use it to take credit cards at my store using a plug in device. And, I did not want to pay a thousand dollars for a business phone. This phone fit all the above, but the cost was; it was not the US Version, they don't make this phone in a US version anymore. This makes some of the setup a little different, and the plug that came with it was for the EU (2 round prongs, not flat blades.) It did come with an adapter, (even though the listing said it did not). This adapter setup is kinda klunky and sticks out of the wall way too far. That said, that is my only issue with this phone. I actually like it better than my old google phone, (Droid Turbo 2), which was basically indestructible, but had to be replaced as stuff just was not working anymore. The screen on this phone is exceptionally responsive, has great color saturation, speaker is loud, was easy to transfer all my contacts and photos over from my old phone with the Samsung app designed to do this which was free, it is light for it's size, thin, until you put it in a case, has buttons on side for volume control, and reception is better than my old phone. I do not use bio-metric security stuff, so I can't say if that works well or not. But, if you are buying a phone that you want to last long enough to make it worth the investment, I think this is a good choice. I had problems figuring out some of the software stuff, and I'd like to blame that on it's being a foreign phone, but I think it is actually just me being over 50, and not super technical. Easy to use, does everything I want it to do, (I am not a phone junky), so if you want a phone that walks and talks and does miracles, I can't say this is the phone for you. But, if you want a nice, attractive, easy to use, functional, durable, large screen, smart phone.... I'd highly recommend this phone as a great value in today's market. So far, after about a month's use, I like it, and even more than my old Droid.
