You can find a 32MP front camera on the front, volume buttons on one side, SIM card slot and power button on the other side(and place for micro SD card). You also have as usual single speakers, charging slot — USB Type-c and place for audio 3,5 mm everything standard. On the backside, you can see four cameras, sensor for fingerprint, and of course, Samsung’s name.

As usual, it has a filter of harmful blue lights, it helps our eyes, and we can turn on the darker regime to reduce the effect on our eyes even more.(you can set up it, so it will work automatically). A good thing in it, you can use the always-on display mode, which will show some important things.

With this specification, the phone works pretty well. Apps work fast and smooth. You can easily play different games using this Samsung. There are many options, such as parent control, simple for Samsung preset apps of partners, which can hide any other do-not-needed apps, simple motions like taps control. Pretty powerful setup.

So what we get — 5MP sensor of depth, 8MP super-wide lens, 5MP camera for macro shootings, and main camera 64 MP. On the front, you get a 32MP selfie camera. As we can read in specifications, both cameras(rear and front) can make 4k videos, by the way, Samsung added a mode for night shootings, this helps at night, photos become better. You can find a special app, which will help you with photos, it can find a scene and make cam in the right way. Also, it allows to switch between different lenses quickly.
