Well I bit the bullet on the 30th of last month after debating on going for the iPX. I don't feel any regret at all.
Some things I love about this phone:
I know it sounds stupid, but I am using Bixby, NOT A LOT, but for system settings it rocks. I usually use it to toggle on or off my Bluetooth settings and my always on display. For accessing device settings and modifying them this is a very solid feature. I usually like to manually do these things, but sometimes I don't feel like digging into sub-menus and Bixby helps with this. Eventually I will set it up like tasker when I get my Garmin watch. I also like just telling it to open camera or take a selfie, it gives you an automatic timer for that.
I know it's been said before but this is a BEAUTIFUL phone!! The screen is amazing and everything looks great on it! I love the infinity wallpapers and the Always On display side version with the starry sky showing! They did a really nice job on this. I did have some issues with AOD not staying on at night when plugged in.
I love that you can use the S Pen for instant note taking. I think I would have really missed this.
The magnify app is pretty amazing! It is not just a zoom in with a camera, you literally get magnification.
So far I have not even felt the desire to load up a launcher or change the default wallpaper, I really like the infinity movement so will likely search out wallpapers with similar features.
I find the battery life suits my use, and worse case scenario, I do have an external power pak I had to buy for my last phone when the battery started crapping out after 4 years.
My hubby tested the camera in a low light setting in our house and I was super pleased by how much light the lens allowed in to make the photo look good. I also took it out to test it out and it takes really great pictures.
The only thing I haven't done yet is get a nice film based screen protector yet. I am using the Samsung "military grade" black case and although I don't find it "pretty" it is a damn good case for the phone that doesn't detract from the phone, and is a good balance between slim and protective with a built in stand.
