If given the opportunity to splurge my money on

phone that costs about RM3500. This phone is the latest
edition that folds and holds its position at multiple
angles and was just released in October 2020.
The phone is able to help me snap great pictures
as the camera on the front and back are adjustable to
be used in many different lightings. For example, there
is a special feature for day time and another one for
dark hours. This is really helpful for me because
photography is my cup of tea. Moreover battery life on
this phone lasts longer than other phones in the market,
hence, I can use it for a long duration while attending
my online classes sessions or while I am snapping
pictures outdoor.
This phone can be bought at any authorised
Samsung phone outlets or even for a cheaper price
through reputable online sites like Shopee or Lazada to
avoid being cheated.
