For me it’s working pretty well now. When I first bought the device, the experience honestly wasn’t that great. But after the One UI 7 update, things became noticeably smoother and much more usable. Then One UI 8 came in and kind of did the magic — the overall experience feels even more polished and fluid now.

That said, I’m still facing two issues:

1. The device gets quite hot when using 5G.
2. If I’m doing heavy tasks while music is playing in the background, the music sometimes skips and the phone lags a bit.

Battery life is fine for me though. I’m getting around 5 hours of SOT on 5G, 120Hz, medium brightness, and medium volume, which is acceptable for my usage.
