My old A54 broke because of false overheating issues. I then got this phone on July 8 from Best Buy, 256GB onyx black. I think this phone is definitely better than the A54, and the best phone I have ever had. I don't necessarily "love" this phone, but It's definitely still better than all of my phones. The build quality is fine. I don't like how unlike the S21 and S22, it's just 3 scattered cameras on the back. I do like that it's boxy like an iPhone. The camera is absolutely amazing! I really love the photos, and I love that I zoom in 30x, and I can literally zoom in on the moon! The performance is pretty good. It's not as good as I thought, and it still has some slowdowns, but it's the fastest phone I have and it can play intensive games well most of the time. The display is also really good, but when it is almost broken dark, for some reason I can see a very pixelated screen, which made me worried because it looked like it broke. The battery life is awful, though. It only lasts 3 hours of consecutive usage, like gaming. I usually have to charge it 3 times a day. Battery is a 2/10, but charging is an 8/10. It charges really fast. I think that it has a good value for money, it could be lower, maybe like 50-100 dollars cheaper would be ideal, but for someone who would upgrade from a phone like an S8 or an A10e, this would be really good and it would value a lot of money. I overall think this phone is good, but I do think the S24+ would be a lot better, and 12gb of ram will have less stutters. My phone stutters sometimes, but not like bad stutters. It's mostly smooth and fast. I would recommend this phone if someone upgrades from an old or budget phone. I would reccomend the S24+ more, but this phone is still good. I give this a 7.7/10.
