Those on the fence and wondering whether they should get one or not: I have bought the e/OS/ version on release day and I'm very happy with it. Moments switch doesn't work and is just a Mic/Camera on/off switch, though.

I used a Galaxy S20 that a friend gave me for the last 2 years and I was so done with it.

It feels nice to have a device that doesn't deplete its battery in 4 hours.

You can use moment with latest e/OS 3.2 release. Just go to Settings -> System -> Switch. Still pretty limited functionality, but better than nothing :).

And yes, phone and OS are amazing!
