" ...  Despite being big, it feels nice in my hand and is easy to use. ... My palm kept hitting the side of the screen when I reached across the phone. ... I feel like Samsung has fallen into the trap where their shareholders just want the stock to keep going up, so it's not enough to sell a million phones, they have to sell 2 million next quarter, so instead of making a good useful phone they are going to make a gimmicky phone to try to attract people with new gimmicks even if they're not useful.  ...  "

" ...  I have returned this phone because there is this wretched little Bixby button directly OPPOSITE the POWER button, where by squeezing the POWER, I invariably re-activate Bixby, which was disabled per intructions. ... Yes, technically I can disable the button IF I sign up for a Samsung account so that I can change the settings in Bixby.  ...  "
