I have gone through all the reviews and I have picked out the cons of the phone which other users have been stating and would like to confirm if it's true or not.
Fingerprint Scanner: Users are saying that it doesn't work and locks you out of your phone. This is not true if you know how to use it properly. For the first few days I was getting locked out of my phone for 5 minutes and even 10 minutes so I deleted my saved fingerprint and scanned it again and made sure that I scanned every single corner of my thumb and afterwards the scanner is too accurate the performance is so impressive. Even without waking the phone(by pressing the power button) Immediately I tap home button it unlocks.
So if you are facing problem with the fingerprint I would advise you to delete the fingerprint which you saved and scan your fingerprint again and this time make sure every corner of your finger is read by the phone you can try putting your finger in both vertical and horizontal position while saving it to ensure every corner is angled. From then onwards, your fingerprint will be read without error.
Camera: Users are saying that there is no front led flash and you would get better specs in those China phones for a cheaper price. This is true but it has a selfie flash(the phone screen shines light on your face before clicking the photo) and I have tried phones with both flash and I realized that selfie flash is better. It is used on the iPhone 6 as well. when you use a led flash on some phones, The brightness is too much and it causes the picture to look unrealistic and extra bright. But the light on the selfie flash is convenient and moderate and it brings out crisp and clear photos that look realistic.
In Low light the pictures are quite impressive.
Battery: Users are saying the phone has poor battery life. This is also untrue, before the first use you have to switch the phone off and charge the phone till it reaches 100% before using it(It is even written in the user manual to charge it before first use) otherwise if you boot the phone directly for the first time after buying it and start using it right away. the battery performance will be reduced.
Battery life: when phone is fully charged, On minimal usage(only 4g browsing and calls) my battery lasts for at least 36 hours and with heavy usage it lasts for minimum 12 hours+
Screenshot: I read a review saying it doesn't take screenshots! Oh my goodness such ignorance! Hold the power button and home button for 3 seconds to take a screenshot. Simple as ABC
No Super Amoled: This is true which makes it difficult to use the screen outdoors under the sun however the display is still very good and clear.(Samsung always has good display) The phone has an outdoor mode which brightens the screen and you can use the phone perfectly.
And one last thing, some of these people giving negative reviews may not even have the phone. They might just be writing based on what they've heard from others. Some know nothing about phones and are just writing crap.
The phone is excellent. Branded phone is called branded phone for a reason. You buy them and use them for such a long time. just buy it and enjoy the satisfaction of owning a branded phone.
Samsung has really done well by giving reasonable features at this price.
