Coming from a pixel 6:
I wanted a small(er) phone.
which takes great photos.
other than that I didn't have that many wishes, because everything about modern phones is better than one that is almost 4 years old.
the fold is of course what everyone is curious about. you don't see that much of it if you don't pay attention to it. and if you just read something that is the case.... you don't see it.
I do feel it a bit, because it is at a height where I keep running my finger over it.
the battery lasts long enough in my opinion, so 2 whole days at 100%, but I only let it charge to 80%.
the outer screen is absolutely great. you can run all apps on it. not all are suitable for that. but quickly reading an email or scanning notifications is great.
the camera is also great, especially with video calling.
price-wise it is not a good deal. it's an average deal at most. it's an expensive phone for a top phone. So yes, if you make some concessions, you can save a few hundred euros. look at an S25 for example.
Audio is my biggest comment on this phone. That's just bad. My girlfriend has an iphone 16 pro. Not comparable. On such an expensive phone, decent speakers can be installed
