Stupid Senseless Android OS Updates

Phone is nice, but hampered by stupid and useless Android OS updated. The latest, version 7, added multiple confirmations to delete a text message and add/edit a contact. Plus, everything is now just a little slower. Who vets this stuff? Software updates are supposed to correct problems and add value, not add time and complexity.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, stupid os updates
The new operating system (OS) upgrade in May 2017 solved the battery problems I had been having. It now charges faster and holds the charge much longer. All the features are great.
I own other Samsung products but this is the first Samsung phone I've had. I have to say I've enjoyed it for the past year and a half but it's time to move on, can't wait to get the S8+.
I use this phone mostly for business; therefore, MS Office and other apps are very important to me. They load flawlessly and also connect to clouds and dropbox effortlessly. I use Verizon, and my internet and wi-fi capabilities are dependable in the majority of the U.S.A. My son is an athlete and I use the camera/video feature with ease. A tremendous number of apps work on the Android platform, too. I am very pleased with this phone/computer and highly recommend it.
The battery needs to be charged at least once every 12 hours. If the camera feature is used the battery runs down in about 4 hours. Also, whenever there is an update the display goes back to the original lock screen. This last update also made sending pictures to an email impossible.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this phone but don't like the built-in battery. Lately I've been having an issue with the battery keeping charge. But overall, a great phone. Just wish I could easily swap the old battery for a new one.
