Ben –
Now that he has received the Android 8.0 update, he’s really cool. Even when it got cheaper now it’s really worth it. The phone is like S8. The battery holds well from 4h to 7h. The phone responds quickly, does not freeze. The fingerprint reader also works great, face recognition when we have gloves, for example. The Always On Display feature is also very useful. Very good with Gear S2 Classic. If someone does not play any demanding games, this is the best phone at this price. I really recommend!
