Booked my 12+512gb version as soon as it was launched. And after using it for more than a month, here's my review.
Pros
1) exceptional camera quality. The 12MP ultra-wide does it's job and I would say going for 5x optical zoom with 50MP sensor instead for 10x 10MP sensor is a better choice as upto 30x I would say the pictures are more crisp than S23 ultra.
2) Build quality is premium. It feels like a high budget smartphone. Not sure if titanium armor is enough to withstand high drop possibilities, but it does make it lighter.
3) Screen is a big improvement. The anti reflective Corning Gorilla glass armor does it's job and reflects most of the glare so you can sit easily and watch without worrying if the person sitting next to you is watching coz they can't. 😁
3) S-pen has improved a bit. A lot of people are saying that they don't use it much after first time, but that's not the case with me. If you will get the hang of it, you will use it quite often.
4) AI interface is quite excellent. Although in initial phase, it does it's job in notes and summarising big pages so that you can easily get the gist.
5) 7 years OS and security update is a big big up from my side.
6) The box like built rather than a curve display is a better choice. It's easier to find a screen protector.
7) sanpdragan 8 gen3 is fast. You can play high end games at maximum capacity. Android 14 with one UI 6 is smooth as you can hope it would be. I haven't recorded any lags or heating issues as for now.
Cons
1) Anti refective display works until you put the above mention screen protector. After that it won't work with that precision. Although it still does it's job.
2) Selfie camera is still not that great if you're using iPhone 14 or 15 pro.
3) generative AI is not that great in calls and photo editing. Also, to pay for these services after 2025 is a big drawback from Samsung.
4) Samsung is still not implementing faster charging protocols on their high and mid range smartphones. In a time when OnePlus is offering 100W charging speeds and xiomi offering 50-80W wireless charging, Samsung is still stuck with 45W and 15W wireless charging. Big drawback. However, battery do last for a full day.
5) speaking of charging, no charger included is a serious letdown when you're spending more than a lac on a high end smartphone. Samsung, it doesn't feels good. 😔
Overall, a good smartphone if you're thinking to go for a big one for a long time.

At darkeness minimum brightness is too high.2. Phone gets pretty warm (38 - 42 deg Cel) while using 5G, Camera continuously.3. Camera app Unnecessarily boosts the images sometime, mostly low light photos, thus ruins the natural color and tone.4. No pro mode after 10x zoom.5. Expert RAW app is not very user friendly.6. Most annoying is the fingerprint scanner after applying the tempered glass.Overall Rating - 8.5/10
