First Samsung phone so went for the big one. So disappointed in many ways, but the camera and Video quality is soooo bad I can't quite believe it.
Video quality is worse than an iphone 8Plus, colors are laughable and it's all so grainy.
Some decent shots with the camera but it doesn't focus properly, switched between camera randomly and faces look terrible.
I'm sure most of this can be fixed with software updates but I'm not going to be waiting for that.
Can't believe a flagship phone can come out with this many issues. Really really bad. How disappointing.

I wish you all the best for the phone and decent software updates should sort a lot of it. I’m impatient however and remain surprised it’s so far from the mark as it is. Software patches should be about refining.
I took some really nice photo, but outside in good light which the phone seemed to like. And I have to say the night mode photos were good for balance, but how often you’ll use I don’t know. But anything in mid range light or slight shade or anything similar looked naff, and I haven’t taken one good video.
peace out.

I hope you did your checking that the phone will work in the UK bands for 5G that you have bought from the US ?
I was thinking the same as this a month ago, but it is highly likely that the 5G bands and regional differences would cause problems in the UK, so I avoided.
In fact the SD888 version in Asia market would be less problematic and others look at ordering from Hong Kong.
I hope that the US version works for you, but I would have been cautious ! See my previous post asking questions on here... Hopefully you have considered all the issues...

Got to say that accepting rubbish from the top of the range is unreasonable to me. This phone isn't cheap. It's not 'new' in that most of it is just an evolution of existing tech. It only serves to encourage the hope that the next model might actually live up to way over-hyped marketting trash.
But hey, buy buy buy. Keeps Samsung happy. The world can take it. Climate change doesn't exist. Unicorns are conspiring against us to take over our biscuits. It's the Samsung Unicorns you need to always keep your eyes fixed on otherwise their horns extend x100 and trip you up. Pesky Samsung.
