Generally, I really like the phone. Some people complain of battery life issues, but the battery life has always been very nice for me, ending the day with plenty to spare.
The Tensor barely qualifies as a flagship SoC, but I've had this phone since release and I have never thought I could use more performance. Virtually everything is immediate. I don't experience lag, even in games, though I don't play Genshin. The whole OS is buttery smooth irrespective of how many background tasks I'm running.
The camera is the best I've ever used. It's definitely the main selling point of the device in my opinion.
The only concrete problem I've had is cellular handoff sometimes doesn't work. I find myself toggling airplane mode about once a week to forcibly restart the modem so it connects to the towers.
Thinking about bugs I've experienced on iPhone and on Samsung devices, I would say this phone is nearly perfect for my needs.
Couldn't agree more tbh. Especially with the SoC. I understand the upside of a more powerful/efficient processor but this has rarely ever stuttered for me with my use case!
