Our take
Built-in S Pen, a flexible zoom camera system, and a privacy display that blocks side-angle viewing. TechRadar calls it the best Android phone ever, and Tom's Guide calls it easily the best Android phone you can buy.
The main complaint is the battery, still 5,000 mAh: 16 hours 40 minutes in Tom's Guide's battery test, behind the iPhone 18 Pro Max. 512GB is $1,499 and 1TB is $1,799.
