lol sorry. I have been playing with it. Most of the day was setting everything up. Last night I had quite a few other things to do, so couldn't play with it as much. But today... I'm back to playing again lol.

It came with earbuds, sim and tools, charger, and usual manuals. The earbuds are actually quite comfortable for me.

The screen allows 5x5 apps to be put on. Very nice in that regard.
Fingerprint sensor works amazingly well and is instant. I set my screen lock to be unlocked with the fingerprint and it hasn't missed a beat once at this point.

Battery: I of course drained the battery pretty quickly yesterday. D/l everything, setting up, etc... from 49% down to 19% in about 4 hours of very heavy use. I charged it back up and took less than an hour with the charger included.
After re-charging yesterday, I didn't have much time to play with it. Only had around 1 hour of screen time and it has used 35% of the battery in 17 hours. (that includes overnight)

GSam states battery life would be 1d 6.5 hours with 5.5 hrs screen. I'm not sure about that, since I really did have a limited time to use it so far. For me, I don't think I'll have any problems with battery life, but I'll give it several days if not a week to really let things settle.

So please, don't take my very limited time with the phone to state if the battery is good or not. It's just too soon.

The auto-click pen is nice. With the phone off, once you take the pen out it shows a blank screen where you can take notes. Pretty cool and handy.

It of course comes with bloat, but for the most part Samsung put all the bloat into their own little groups. Google, Samsung, AT&T. So for me... :shrugs: Not a big deal. It does have a Samsung Pay app, and Knox. From what I see so far, you have to install Knox for Samsung Pay to work.

The back of the phone is of course a fingerprint magnet. It's very smooth, but not slippery. It's like they put something in/over the glass to give you a bit of grip. The sides of the phone (metal I think?) are a bit slick. But once you have it hand, it feels really good.

Sorry, haven't used the camera at all. I'm still setting things up and moving things around. I'll check it out a bit today though.

Phone calls seem clear. No static, etc.. for me or the person on the other end.
I haven't played any music yet, so I don't know about the speakers yet. I'll play some today.

All for now. Overall I really like the phone. Also, it's pretty cool to be one of the first customers in the world to have it in hand!
