Key Takeaways
Compact 160.5 g chassis with a flat 6.3-inch Extreme AMOLED stands out versus larger mid-rangers.
Triple cameras include a real 3x telephoto, which most $500 to $600 rivals still skip.
Battery endurance is a highlight: 17h 25m; two-day moderate use.
Only 128GB with no microSD is a clear step back from last year's 256GB Edge.
Software support is short: two OS upgrades and about three years of security patches.
