The ZuPick verdict

3.2out of 5
ConsiderBest at performance, weakest at battery.

This is a compact, fast and unusually long-supported flagship with useful cameras and competitive pricing. Its weak battery showing, slow charging and merely adequate display prevent it from being the most complete choice.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance4.3
It reaches about 3.11 million on AnTuTu, which is excellent for this price. Combined with 12 GB RAM, fast UFS 4.0 storage and seven years of updates, it should remain responsive for a long time.
Camera3.3
The 50 MP main camera, 12 MP ultrawide and 3x telephoto offer useful versatility, and 8K recording is a clear strength. The 3x reach is practical across a room, but stronger camera phones extend to 5x zoom, while the 12 MP front camera is conventional.
Display2.9
The Dynamic AMOLED screen delivers rich contrast, 120 Hz motion and peak brightness of 2600 nits for good outdoor visibility. Its 1080x2340 resolution and conventional refresh setup are ordinary rather than exceptional at ₹74,999.
Battery2.1
The 4300 mAh battery and tested life of 11 hours 22 minutes leave limited headroom for demanding days. Slow 25W wired charging is the main drawback, though 15W wireless charging adds convenience.
Value4.1
At ₹74,999, strong performance, seven-year support, wireless charging and a complete triple-camera system make the package competitively priced. Battery endurance, charging speed and the Full HD+ display are the trade-offs.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Fast, sustained performance

About 3.11 million on AnTuTu is near the top among premium phones. The 12 GB RAM and quick UFS 4.0 storage also suit demanding apps and multitasking.

Seven-year software support

Seven years of operating-system and security updates is the longest commitment available. That makes this a particularly sensible phone to keep for several upgrade cycles.

Compact premium construction

The 6.3-inch body weighs just 167 grams and is 7.2 mm thick, making it easier to carry than most premium phones. IP68 protection adds reassurance against water and dust.

Versatile triple camera

The combination of a 50 MP main camera, 12 MP ultrawide and 3x telephoto covers everyday framing well. Optical stabilisation helps in low light, while 8K recording gives video enthusiasts extra flexibility.

What’s not
Weak battery endurance

The 4300 mAh battery lasted 11 hours 22 minutes in testing, which is modest for an expensive phone. Heavy users may need a top-up before the end of the day.

Slow 25W charging

A 20–100% charge takes about 72 minutes, far behind faster premium rivals. Wireless charging is useful, but its 15W speed does not solve the long refill time.

Display lacks flagship extras

The 1080x2340 screen is sharp enough, and 2600-nit peak brightness helps outdoors. However, 120 Hz is now standard at this price, while sharper QHD+ and more advanced adaptive panels distinguish better displays.

What owners say

From Reddit
r/samsunggalaxyan owner

While being the same size as iPhone and having bigger battery than iPhone 17 and it's previous gen S25. The phone doesn't even last 7 Hours Straight. It just dies with 6hours SOT.

r/samsunggalaxyan owner

The Phone literally heats up when using Instagram. I'll Admit this that My city is Hot at 44°C but Using my phone just to scroll Instagram shouldn't heat to 42°C .

r/samsunggalaxyan owner

My impressions are very positive overall. One UI is by far the best android skin I have EVER used in all my years of sticking with Android phones. Compared to the buggy Oxygen OS One UI blows it out of the water in so many aspects.

r/samsunggalaxyan owner

One UI is so good that it even does a great job optimizing the battery. I don't know if its the Exynos 2600 chip that does this or the software itself but whatever magic Samsung has done here is doing it wonders and I love it.
