  1. The phone is very cool, everything is just fine when you look at the mobilespecs. net wifi reception is good, nice design, comfortable shape, lightning fast, good software, super cameras, etc., I don’t even see the need to list all the advantages…, I’m in love with the S series of SAMSUMGs since S6.
