No one talks about the corners??

Compared to the previous version, I like the P30's design more than the P40's. The front camera looks interesting, but it could be covered with a finger every time you'll need to take a selfie. Or was it made on purpose? As for the cameras on the back, it's not flat and I find it very inconvenient to use this phone without a case. Otherwise, the cameras can be scratched very easily.
I'm honestly extremely pleased with the look and feel of mine. I'm using the original silicon hard case for mine so the camera bump is not that a big of an issue ( tho I have an applied screen protector applied to the module, that does affect flash photography. Makes everything milky ) . The raised corners are beautifully crafted. My only gripe would be with the big cutout , but you do get used to it, and the bent screen edges that are just meg for me .
I am feeling underwhelmed about the entire experienced so far. I could not find a version in store to look at so took a punt on ordering online and am still undecided if it was the right decision. Maybe the problem is I am coming from a 4 year old Oneplus 3T and it does not feel like much of an improvement.
The screen is nicer and bigger but for me it is ruined by the curved edges which I am finding very annoying. The cut out dose not bother me as it feels more like I have gained the screen space either side than I am losing the cutout space.
The UI is more fluid and apps faster but not enough to make a big difference.
Camera is the one big improvement.
Sorely missing the 3.5mm jack.
Am still waiting for a case, in the mean time the phone is a nightmare to hold as it is so slippery, particularly on these cold days with dry hands.
Despite all my care there is already a nick in the camera bump glass (after 3 days), thankfully not in front of any of the lenses but it looks like I will have to get a screen protector for that as well. The One plus 3T managed 4 years without a scratch.
The absence of Google services means I did not have to spend hours neutering the google crap but I did spend time removing the Huawei bloatware so its about even

The glass back gets straight up gross if you're using it for long periods of time. I got a dbrand skin, though (just the matte white) and it's 10x better in terms of feel, plus it no longer attracts fingerprints. Also, with a skin, I don't have to worry as much about shattering the back glass. It's not as good as a case, but it's much more minimal.
I use a case for my Note 5 because its glass after all, but I must say this Note 5 seems less wider than the previous note which is more important in the hand than the screen size. If I cant hold a phone in one hand and have to worried about it dropping all the time then I will not get it.
i don have it yet but i checked it in the market few days ago
it s really the most beautiful phone i have ever seen
maybe not the most comfortable But i will put case anyway to fit in my hand better
it s really looks premium
I installed slickwraps black skin at the back, front and sides. The only con is when you want to put the device in a case you have to be careful not to peel the side skin off and some cases peel off the front.
On the other hand i agree with @svetius to protect all over the devices including camera lens
I'm anxiously waiting for my D-brand skin to cover the back. Yes, the device is gorgeous and has exceptional build quality... but it's a slippery mess in warm climates. Where I live, high humidity means you always have slightly humid hands. The device becomes extremely slippery in this situation. It doesn't help that the device also has some noticeable heat when operating in these hot temperatures.
The all Glass and metal body Feel awesome, for like 30 mins. I work on the diesel engines and I can't really enjoy the sexay feel all the time. Only when I go to church when I don't need a case for my phone. But it feels slippery after awhile in your hand. Too bad, the price of having sexay looks with metal and glass. The slippery fingers and hands is real. But I dont' care, it still dead sexay.
Have been a Note user since the 1st model upto date. Have gone astray lol, HTC, Sony, Nexus & Apple, even BlackBerry. But i have always come back to Samsung, and specially the Note series. The new design is awesome but the curve back sucks. Its too slippery. Since the bezels are slim there is no grip. Even though i have large hands still its difficult to grip this baby. And handling the phone in bed while lied down is a nightmare. I hope one day soon Samsung will go Nexus 6P like design, front glass with slim bezels and the back to be fully metal.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. After 9 months of having this phone, still can't help but feel left out. The note 5 between the 4 and the 7 was like the step child that know one cared about. I know that's a horrible example, but it's true. But I don't care what the haters say. It's a darn right beautiful device. Using it with out a case is almost impossible like you said, cause the nice clear glass is WAY TO SLIPPERY. But I still love this phone. By Next year November, I'll be available for upgrade and maybe, just maybe the note 8 will be a fantastic phone. If not, than the note 7 edge will be on sale

Moto has totally figured out ergonomics. Rounded corners and back. Feels nice and steady in the hand.
Agreed, although I wish it had the fingerprint sensor on the back like my Nexus 5X. Also the weight is both reassuring and a little annoying. Weight for weights sake.
The rounded corners are very comfortable, and the smooth shiney back is actually more grippy than I would have thought. Fingerprint reader on the front is a little weird, as I have to shift the phone's center weight in my hand to reach the sensor with my thumb, but it's not that bad. It definitely feels very "dense" meaning it's weight is very well spaced out thru the device and it feels good to hold. The only sharp edges are on the camera bump, which I'm a little nervous about damaging as it's so prominent (but I also worry about that with every phone, so that's not exactly unique to this model).
I love how it feels in the hand made me sad to put a case on it. The way this phone feels reminds of the iPhone 7 especially around the edges.

I just bought this phone last night and all I can say is that the build quality and in-hand feel is amazing.
But to compare it with HTC 10 with similar body, it feels bulky since the back isn't tapered.
Only if Lenovo decided to put a flagship processor coz everything about this phone is already highend.
Mine is the 4gb/64gb dual sim variant.
i bought this phone just because of the ergonomics! i'm so in love right now! if there's anything were to happen to my moto x4 right now... i don't know what i would do to that person who did it haha! that's how much i'm obsessed right now!
Amazing phone. Dope design and look. However it is somewhat slippery and sliding. I'll have to put on a case, even if I do not want it. Eye catching device.
It’s a little too wide, especially after putting a case on. The width also exaggerates the weight of it. The shape is nice and comfortable. Just not ‘4.7” iPhone’ comfortable. I think 4.7-5” would’ve been good, and brought the weight down too. .
It has good ergonomics and the back isn't slippery (although the sides are). I also like the placement of the fingerprint sensor, as I unlock a lot the phone while it's laying on a desk (plus, One button nav ftw).
But the weight is too much on the heavy side for me. With case it becomes exhausting to hold for long periods. But it makes the phone feel more premium (which is not something I really care for).
It's also very very fragile. I wouldn't use it without a case.
Slippery slope. I always fear that it slips outta my hands, and it has glass body so....

Been very happy with this case, as it doesn't add any bulk, and it won't slip out of your hand.

Thanks man! I'll try it out. Just one question, does it effectively protect the camera lens?

Yes, there is a raised edge/ring around the lens.

Great. Thanks man, have a nice one
It is average. I have small, danty hands and prefer my work IPhone S as the perfect size - my thumb can reach everything. On the X4, there are times where I can't reach and either strain my hand or have to change holding positions.
One of the reasons I chose the X4 was because it was about the same size as my old, beloved S5. I do not intend to ever buy a larger one.
For what it's worth, the build quality is really impressive. I have a black x4 and everything about it screams a million bucks. Those with any knowledge of what a premium phone should look and feel like will appreciate this phone. Sturdy, beautiful and perfect for someone who's not into the whole big phones hype. Finger print sensor on the back would have been a bit better since the bottom bezel could then have potentially housed another speaker but one shouldn't be too greedy. Overall, this build quality beats anything in the updated price range that it's selling for now. Maybe something like the Nokia phones could come close but nothing else.

I was quite surprised at how slender and sleek the RN5 felt in hand when I got it. I came from the Note 4 and had watched endless Note 5 review videos and thought it looked quite chunky and long. It is slightly taller than the Note 4 due to the screen ratio but I think it feels as slim if not slimmer and also nicer/easier to grip with one hand which is great.

I am using this device for a couple of days now and i must say it fits great in my hands!
I have no problem using it in the crowded public transport system!
The original case doesnt make the phone bigger or thicker, but makes it more secure to hold!
I am almost able to use it with one hand, even though it has a big screen!!
In-hand feel 10/10
slippery and too big in my small hands, these two factors make it hard to hold, also using a case that is rubbery and textured which helps very little despite having those features.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy A71 feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).

There is no good feeling of quality. It looks like a slouch-designed device. But the A71 is not the only one. Several Samsung devices manufactured this year give me the same feeling. There is a lack of care and affection with the details.
First: All made of plastic. The edges, in addition to being made of plastic, are shiny and easy to scratch. Incidentally, mine already got a scratch next to the USB type C.
Recently I had a quick experience with a very cheap Samsung J2 Core. And despite being all plastic, it feels more premium than the A71, as it has a matte side finish.
Second: The sound output grid at the top is completely decentralized. I see much cheaper devices from other brands that have greater care in this regard. It seems that Samsung just cut out a piece of plastic grid anyway and fitted the speaker line anyway. From one side up. On the other, lower. And totally off center.
Third: The input of the USB type C connector also demonstrates Samsung's lack of whimsy in terms of finish. There appears to be a gap between the metal connector at the bottom and the plastic body. A beautiful entrance door for dust and debris into the device.
Just for comparison, I have a cheaper Motorola device, made of plastic too, and there doesn't seem to be any spacing between the USB Type-C connector and the plastic body. I also photographed my old Samsung Galaxy A7 2017, a premium intermediary smartphone from 3 years ago, which cost a lot cheaper than the A71, and has a much more refined finish.
The images have been attached below.
i have a good case on mine , problem solved. got mine for 340 quid, ( UK ) cant moan yes its feel cheap at the back , i have no gap by the usb socket . it ticks all the boxes. there was either that or another LG ( came from a V20 ) is it more flimsy than than my V20 .. oh yes!
People who complain about plastic and then complain when their glass back phone cracks are hilarious to me. I've had plastic builds and glass built phones and guess which ones last the longest and looking better over time, the plastic build.
My note 5 looks like crap now with all the cracks and repairing it is expensive. I also have a note 4 and that still looks awesome and looks better than my Note 5. Marketing has just swayed people to think that glass-back phones are better. I agree that the side would have been nice if it were metal but a simple fix for that is to use a thin case. Another thing I do is put a skin on it which makes the phone last and look longer whether it's glass or plastic. Problem solved.
The A71 would be heavier if it was made from glass and metal and make it more cumbersome to handle. The build makes the phone easy to handle in a one-handed operation. To each their own I guess.

How's the inhand feel, of the s21 ultra please?
It's a death wish not to use a case.
My 10+ like most newer Samsung's is slippery as a fish. It's never out of it's Bolt case except for maintenance.
Even if your a demigod that never drops a phone consider the mere mortals that may inadvertently come into contact with it.
A true story of The Flying Fish (warning there is unspeakable carnage in this story).
My boss once handed me his caseless new Samsung before I could say a word. I wear gloves with finger cutouts all the time.
My 10+'s Bolt case is real easy to grip; it never slips in my hand at all with it's golfball like skin texture.
Enter the slippery fish; as soon as he nonchalantly put it in my hand it popped into the air a couple inches as I tried to grasp it as I would the 10+.
Learning curve, being distracted, information overload etc. Plus I told him initially I really didn't want to... whatever it's a lick on you.
It happened fast enough that I wasn't able to regrasp it, as I considered it would slip out again and gain more velocity. I can still see it.
It landed on concrete in a frame rail faceplant rendering it useless. Badly cracked screen and frame.
First phone I ever destroyed.
I felt bad but my boss made two big mistakes; always have a case and don't give your phone to other people especially if they're wearing gloves standing on concrete.
Fortunately my glove was unscathed... yes, well.
Received mine yesterday. Setup was easy as I was coming from an S10 plus. First impression was it is top heavy. Still fells a bit top heavy but getting used to it. Quality of fit finish and materials is as you would expect. Feels solid in hand. It does feel like a flagship phone. Wouldn't have expected any other tbh. ... Slippy so a case is a must imo
Feels great in hand with leather case. Much easier to handle than p30 pro.
I absolutely love how the S21 (regular) feels in the hands, it doesn't dig into my palm, and coming from an S10 i also appreciate that there's no more accidental touch on the side of the screen with my palm because the screen is no longer curved. good stuff!

Just be real careful handing it to someone
In a Bolt case the curve screen is an asset and accidental touches don't happen. I use it to house One Handed Operation plus; it's not wasted real estate.

Agreed. The Samsung leather case (or similar) should be considered mandatory to reduce the fear, uncertainty, and dread which comes with handling slippery Samsung phones.
I find the front-screen fingerprint reader less reliable than my Samsung S9 or Pixel 3A. In particular, if my hands are freshly washed (slightly damp; not wet) or dirty (from petting the dog) it might take a few taps to get recognition. Samsung's documentation mention that excessively dry hands (perhaps in winter-time) can also affect the fingerprint reader. My muscle-memory keep making my index finger try to hunt for the rear sensor.
I'm guessing that in a couple of weeks I'll learn to wipe my finder on my t-shirt to clean and dry it, and I'll learn the exact location of the on-screen sensor.
