Literally needs to get charged all the time even on advanced modifies settings to keep it run longer, they removed SD card so if somethings goes wrong with the phone, good bye your data. Also they remove aux jack right??? Well it is almost as thin as my Galaxy S9 It lags all the time and overheats
I've bought this phone so many times throughout my subconscious date that I am an intermediate professional at sleeping through to do fabulous job without even opening my eyes. Samsung's s22 has the sleekest slimmest design the best focus mode made possible
I am stuck with the Ultra Plus after turning in my wonderful Note 8. Had to disable Bixby because I couldn't turn the phone on without it popping up, twice, when I went to shut the phone down it asks for my pin beforehand, really crazy, but since it doesn't happen all the time impossible to show to anyone. Haven't been able to take a screen shot per instructions, maybe because Bixby was disabled, who knows, and tried a few other methods per what was shown on line, but doesn't work. Can't believe the wired headphone jack plugs into where you charge the phone, the stylus on the left hand side boggles the mind since most people, myself included, are right handed, and the stylus doesn't always stay in, even though I know how to do that since I have had the Note 2, Note 5, and Note 8, so no stranger to putting my stylus in properly after use, the screen goes dark constantly, even when working out at the health club and I constantly have to restart the phone to even switch a station if I choose when playing music, the display timing out at 10 minutes max with no custom option is absurd, unless you think this phone can't handle the display staying on a little longer, tried bluetooth over wired ear plugs and suddenly Google Assistant keeps popping up, and the problems just go on and on and on. I can't find an alternative right now, certainly not a phone with a stylus which is my preference given arthritis, and so now with just 5 days remaining to turn in the phone for something else, I have no alternative, and this phone is nothing but trouble. How could you, Samsung?
After using this phone for several weeks, I'm disappointed in the performance of this phone. It gets really hot being on 5g and even when I turn it off after using it for a while it'll warm up and won't cool off until I stop using it (usually just watching videos). I was unsure of buying it due to the snapdragon 8 gen 1 chip having issues with how hot it gets. And I should've listened to the reviews, it seems like the chip is a hot mess and the cooling system in the phone isn't enough. I'm still willing to give this phone a chance as apps began to be optimized but this is quite disappointing. And the battery, it lasts about 5 hours with moderate use and that's almost as bad as my samsung s8. So I think it's better to wait for a better chip and/or cooling system. Other than that the phone isn't too bad, but the heating problem is what bothers me the most.
I come from an S9 and battery life is not better from a 4 years old device. Is it really more efficient?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
