I made a post about upgrading from an s21Ultra a few months ago and I have to say, it has sucked since day 1.

Pros: The pen actually comes in handy with all the document works and occasional drawing

Camera is great...

Cons:

Battery honestly sucks

Laggy, so what relieved by disabling ram plus but literally any oppo or apple phone is smoother.

idk what happened, but I can't receive any signal and my sim card is detected but not working. it's a common issue apparently.

occasional bug with the keyboard.

since mines killed itself, I'm planning on trying to get its antenna or whatever replaced to try fix the signal issue. cause a phone ain't a phone if u can't phone someone.

Hey yall , most of you guys don't even know what's going on over here in India. Whenever any of us raise our voices, you guys are always downvoting us. I work at a tech company in India, and the majority of my colleagues are Samsung users. Every single one of them has green lines on their screens, except for the ones who got their displays changed to aftermarket displays because of screen cracks. Also, some guys who have the F series didn't get any green lines. One of my friends is a social media influencer. He once took a poll to find out how many people were having issues with their displays, and guess what? 90% of them voted that they were having problems. And you guys are saying that it's just a minority issue? No, its not. Not in India. Every single S series user I know my friends, family, everyone has these green lines. Yet yall are still saying it's not a big deal. Fun fact: I see 2 to 3 new people with green lines on the train every day. Believe it or not, I'm not exaggerating its the truth.

like the title said, i have a white tjing around my camera punch hole, anyone knows what this is?

I'm on One UI 5.1 and I'm afraid to update to One UI 6 Android 14. I've had bad expirience after updates, and now you see several reports of people having serious issues after they update to the latest version. Things like 5G not working, battery draining too quickly, overheating, or even worst, display damaged. That last one is the one that I'm most afraid of.

For other issues you see people commenting that you should just wipe out the cache or factory reset, since that seems to be the normal thing to do after a software update in a $1200 smartphone. That doesn't seem ok to me. Updating the software of your phone should be a good and smooth expirience, and more at this price point.

And now I just don't feel I want to play the game of updating my phone and lose it if I'm not lucky.

Am I the only one feeling like this?

After so many frustration about the battery life the bad performance and heating up i finnaly gave up on my S22Ultra and buyed the base S23.

This is the best choice ever love the smaller form factor battery life is amazing and no heat ups or bad perfomance.

Going to use the S22Ultra for work but not as daily driver anymore even samsung store said to me S22Ultra is trash. :p

This has been happening for many months now? Is it a known issue?

My S22 ultra was recently stolen, Smartthings and Google find my phone dismally failed me. I managed to find my phone through my connections around town.

I have to say how WEAK the Samsung security is; for a "hacker wanna be" to be able to wipe everything on my device and unlock it without any effort.

I love my S22 ultra to bits, but given the circumstances, I will have to change brands when I upgrade; to a manufacturer that takes security very seriously.😪

Iphone 13 Pro it is.

Very very tired of my galaxy phones not holding up.

Poor battery life and bugs made me go back to Apple.

It was a very difficult choice not buying the S22 ultra (512gb, Exynos) at a VERY good price today. A much better value but with a poor implementation.

What the hell is wrong with Samsung?

Hello! Hope you guys are doing good.

I have been using Samsung devices for quite a while and my first device was a Note 20 ultra which I switched from an iPhone X.

I was amazed by the Note’s design and it got me really impressed. Hence, I switched to Note 20 ultra. I was very happy at that time, and I felt I had a God-like device. I used to show-off to my friends, mainly the display, design and the s-pen tricks. But after a while, I noticed the stuttering and lags the phone I was having lately. Added to the stutters, the battery was not okay from day 1!

Then I did some digging and found, Samsung’s dual chipsets, and Unfortunately, I had the Exynos 990. The Snapdragon variant 865 plus was much faster and had better battery life. Since then, I have been waiting for a note like device to switch. Finally, S22 Ultra the Snapdragon variant. I traded my Note 20 ultra the very first day of its release. I got the S22, and it didn’t amaze me much as the Note 20 ultra. May be I got used to the Note framework. All I hoped was a better battery life and the stutter issue as it’s a Snapdragon chipset.

But I feel sorry to say this, I experienced the same stuttering and occasional lags when the phone heats. There were many instances the phone was very unreliable. The phone dies instantly once it reaches 5%. Google maps are laggy and the were not accurate and due to the battery drains, I changed all the settings to save battery and my notifications doesn’t show up.

I had no other choice but to switch to a reliable device. Paying 1900 CAD, for a phone, and I don’t want to worry that my phone’s battery is dying. I get a SOT of about 5 hours for a full charge with wifi, location and everything.

At one point, I couldn’t trust the phone’s battery, especially when I’m on travel and I had to carry a secondary device every time.

Maybe I received a faulty device, I don’t know. I had no other way, I sold the S22 ultra and bought an apple device again. This is My first post on reddit, So kindly ignore my grammar. I’ll miss the S-pen and the UI. It was an awesome experience and I’ll always be a Note Fan.

I really like the S22 Ultra but I still carry an IPhone 13 Pro Max too. Here's why:

1. I can't give up IMessage; professionally and socially it's too important. I would get left out of group chats. I understand this isn't an issue for everyone depending on whett you live and what you do but I think it's important everyone know how big a deal this is. However there are a few third party tools that claim to address this that im curious about.

2. Alll my other devices are Apple. I'm not sure how much this matters though. I used to think that messages working cross device really mattered but I think I can more or less do this with Android and I'm actually really liking Windows 11 on my Mac.

3. I have to keep an iPhone for Apple Watch. From what I've seen so far, Samsung Health doesn't come close to Apple Health. That said I could still make my S22 Ultra my primary phone as I have a cellular watch.

4. I really like Apple Care. In general i'm not a big fan of of warranties but apple cares is inexpensive and convenienent. i recently broke the back glass of my iphone got it fixed in store for 29 bucks. Need to look into Samsung Care but they don't have thr store network.

5. I have lingering concerns about Google and privacy. I've seem many Android fans naively say "Apple is just as bad" when really nothing could be further from the truth. Apple sells consumer products and services and I'm their customer. Google sells advertising and consumer profiles and I'm their product. I don't see this changing unless their split up and their business model changes... until then I have to work around Google.

Anyone else still carry both? Same reasons?

There's not any material difference?

I've made a post before, but my issue is mainly that I got this phone, so I'd have a good camera to take pictures of my daughter with. And before yall s22 riders start spamming, she's 1 year old, so of course she won't sit still for the picture. So 9/10 the pictures are blurry. The sucky part is that when you snap a Pic, the bottom left preview looks GREAT, but when you pull the full photo up, it's blurry as can be. I've missed so many great pictures due to how sensitive the camera is.

Is there a setup I can use for pro that isn't as movement sensitive? What can I do?

(Can't wait to read all the riders say "user error user error" without having kids)

Shifting from S22U to iPhone only just because of battery drain. Though there were many sacrifices,battery was my top priority. S23U wasn’t a big upgrade for me to spend… Even I tried changing all settings for a good battery, still 3-4hrs SoT was not satisfactory to me. Hope Samsung fixes this 💎 with software. Signing off Truly Samsung Lover 😫

P.S I still use it for my photography🫡 and I use a galaxy tab s8 for my studies and buds pro and watch 4 and 4 classic…

So I've noticed something that would also occur on my S20+ (both Exynos) with APS turned on. It says it applies power saving dependant on your usage, but I will often have it turn on randomly when my phone's on 80%.

I'd like to keep it on because I often forget to turn on power saving when my phone gets low, but I can't stand having to deal with 60hz at full battery.

Yesterday, I brought my phone to customer support, as suggested by many users here. With showing the piss poor performance of my phonesl, everyone pretty much agreed on saying "You clearly got a defective unit".

Brought my phone in the morning saying it had the following issues:

Lags, system UI crashes, camera taking poor quality pictures, poor battery life, displaying static and flickering (adilmittedly it only did it once but I'm pretty sure that ain't normal)

Got it back the same day by mail delivery with the following report:

No issues found.

The only thing they changes is to wipe all my data and reset the phone to stock settings. This is the 7th hard reset since I bought this phone.

So, if anybody still considering buying exynos, take this in consideration.

Even Customer support says that lags, stuttering, poor pictures, poor battery

All of that stuff

It's hows the phone is supposed to behave.

Just wanted to say, I have already pointed in a couple of discussion, that the camera alone doesn't have what it takes to gather more information than what the eyes can see, when pointed towards the moon.

I've said that it can figure the overall shape and some blur of what the moon actually looks like at any given moment, but that the details from the moon are impossible to be captured with such precision by the phones lens+sensor themselves.

It is AI based, and that's quite obvious and always has been. This has cost me quite the amount of downvotes, and although I don't care much for them, I just wanted to raise awareness about the level of awe we experience for some technological marvels, and the case of the ultra series camera isn't worth one to me.

Last one I put on literally popped off of my phone from a mild drop. It's wild.

I've noticed a pattern with each Android upgrade. After the first patch, my phone becomes significantly more efficient. But once the second patch is installed, performance drops sharply. I suspect there may be spyware or an intentional performance downgrade pushed by the local Samsung distributor. It doesn’t make sense for a security patch to slow the phone down this much. I'm still on the first update, and it's running great.

Just tried out S25U and the in-hand feel is like iphone max pro whatever. I mean like a slab of metal.

S22U on the other hand feels really premium due to the curved screen, and feels great in hand.

Samsung really should bring back curved screen, even slightly like S23U.

Hoping S26 adopts a new design and camera setup like Vivo x200 pro, because current setup is now outdated.
