Cons
Charging speed is modest (25W) compared to some rivals offering faster rates.
The front camera, though 13 MP and capable of 4K, isn’t groundbreaking in the segment. Low-light selfies may not impress.
Single speaker setup; audio quality is not a highlight.
Battery is 5,000 mAh, which is good, but some competitors (including earlier Samsung M series phones) offered larger capacities.
Side-mount fingerprint sensor rather than in-display may feel a bit less premium to some.
