Used the phone for 2 days now. Was previously using K50 Ultra.

Plus:
OS is better than my previous phone.
Very smooth. Scrolling and minimizing/opening apps can feel the difference. But also can be because it's still new.
Little to no bloatware out of the box. Open, update and use. Previous phone have to remove quite a bit of bloatware and disable ads.

Cons:
When I press the 3line button it shows the previous app rather than the current app I'm on. Typically when I press the 3line button is I want to close the app I'm currently on. Not used to it yet.
Settings can be different name from more established brands. I installed an APK and there's a pop up that tells me i need to give permission to allow the install. So i chose allow and proceed with the installation. After the installation I wanted to disable the permission but cannot find where to do it. I'm sure it's there, not used to the system yet.
When receiving SMS for OTP verification or receiving calls from unknown number, the phone keeps asking me to save or block the number. I don't want to do either.
All the cons are basically familiarity issue and nitpicking. Yet to encounter any major deal breaker.

Very happy with the purchase. Initially was waiting for the F7pro but glad I bought this instead.

Glad to hear!

For the app switcher, I stopped the practice of closing apps as Android seems to be super good at memory management now, so accessing the recent apps view is usually for swapping apps.

The unknown sources setting is buried. Settings > Security and Privacy > More security and privacy > Installation sources is how you get to enable install permissions per app.
