Even with the 720p screen (for the 5G version), it makes up for everywhere else. The 5000 mAh battery is leaps and bounds ahead of my G7.

Overall, after 3-4 days, I'm pretty happy with it. Display seems at least as good as my old Galaxy S7, speed and scrolling - even at 90Hz - is crisp, and features are good considering the $288 price point. It doesn't come with Bixby (which I've never had, but looks interesting, though my jury is out on just how useful it would be) so added Google Assistant instead. The other thing it seems to be missing - though every write up I see shows it havign it - is palm-swipe screenshots. My phone does not have that toggle - maybe they dropped it seeing as Google Assistant and the Vol Down/Power buttons take one anyway.
