Have others noticed random Animation jankiness (stutter) through the interface?? Such as going back to the home screen, opening up the recent apps, launching an app from the home screen, etc... . US note 10+ unlocked running the latest beta 3.
At some points it's as fluid as an iPhone but then randomly I will see frame drops when doing the same thing. Could be any app. If this is just a beta issue then I'm fine, but if it behaves the same way when the final comes out, I might just get another phone.
Isn't this a common thing with Samsung phones? I have this issue randomly on my Note 10+ as well, running Android Pie. Same on my S10+. I'm very sensitive to this type of stuff so I definitely notice it.
No, it is not common, I understand your concern, I see these stutters in some other devices, (old ones
that I keep as secondary o emergency ) but this typically happens due to low ram
yeah i still get some stutters, but its gotten better each beta release. oneui 2 is still leagues better than every other samsung phone in terms of animation smoothness though. Samsung lag is pretty much gone, but there has always been some stutter when going to recent apps or going home... but i think samsung is working hard on this, just so that the s11's 120hz screen won't have this issue.
I'm surprised you didn't get a new phone to begin with. samsung phones are known for the features/bloat. if you want smooth, get a pixel or oneplus or iphone.
I have the official Android 10 (One UI 2.0) on my S10+ and it is definitely not smooth as one would expect. Many instances of choppy animations, dropped frames, microstutter, and lag. I factory reset the phone as well to remove any variables and the same issues persist. My Note 10+ running Android Pie is noticeably more smooth than the S10+ on the newest firmware. Here is hoping the official release for the Note 10+ will be a bit better.
Yes that's the same for me,
Also, between LockScreen and Always On display, the animation it's just terrible, it lags very very often.
I've tried to install other launchers, and the opening and closing animation is MUCH more fluid instead of the default one.
I've tried with my Note10+, and the stable version of Android 10 for Note
This is a shame indeed, I was really hoping that Samsung would work hard to fix this issue ugh. Let's hope the final one UI 2 release fixes this issue. One ui , 1 or 2, was supposed to address the old touchwiz lag issues but apparently not. I did hey a chance to play with the new pixel devices and they were smooth as butter. I was so tempted to get them but the battery issues reported stopped me from doing that. I'm definitely getting the s11 plus so hopefully that will be a better device but we will see I guess.

lag hasn't really existed for years. animation stutter is a separate thing imo. But yeah if you want the smoothest of animations, get a pixel/oneplus or iphone. I can't imagine s11 being perfect even with 120hz screen... but maybe oneui 2.1 solves all the problems.
I had my Galaxy note 10+ updated to Android 10 with one ui 2.0 and the recent apps animation is really bad, has anyone found a solution, it's almost unbearable switching apps.
Thanks in advance,
try enabling performance mode. it sure helps a lot. by default the "optimised" option is on and it only runs with 70% of the cpu power. Also dark mode "hides the stutter" much better. . dark apps open and close with better transitions. Its not the best but it helps a lot in my opinion

Disable accessability services, that should help.
People tends to say the same thing every year, every update.
“Disable this, disable and solve the situations”.
I have a OnePlus 7 pro, no lag even with all enabled. Same for iPhone 11.
Disabling things won’t make animation or lags less frequent, will only improve ram and cpu usage a little.
I definitely see issues with the animation when returning to home screen, but it's not a performance issue per se. It's almost like there is a double animation, first the normal one, but then it snaps back to showing the current app before showing the home screen. It looks super fugly.
I made a quick video to demonstrate what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/UQ37LMqo7jM

Looks like you are using custom launcher and your animation is known issue on Android 10 with custom launchers.
I have resolved this problem
I enable developer mode then I turned off all animations for the transactions and all these stuff and it works with me very fine
I got the official Android 10 update for my Note 10+ on Verizon a couple days ago and it's quite laggy. My OnePlus6T runs way smoother. This phone has been pretty laggy since I bought it last September. I hadn't tried a Samsung in 3 years until the Note 10+ but I guess they still haven't learned how to make a phone run smoothly (I should have known better than to believe flossy carter). I'm quite disappointed in this phone tbh. I had high hopes and talked myself into keeping it, but in hindsight, I should have returned it.
I might do a factory reset soon to see if that helps. Pretty sad a device that cost $1100 doesn't run any better than a midrange device. I've also noticed more battery drain. The battery was epic on Android 9, and though it's still ok on 10, it has noticeably got worse.

That $1000 phone have 1000 features, compare to 6T which is almost barebone stock Android. OnePlus UI base came from Cyanogen, very light system. OneUI is young UI in second version, future is bright

The only accessibility service I have turned in is dashlane. Everything else is off.
For me, up to 4-5 apps there's no stutter in the animations, but after starting having more than 5 apps in the recent apps menu the lag starts and it gets worst with the increase of apps in recent apps menu.
Only Samsung to have this kind of thing in a flagship.

Actually, the issue is exactly with Dashlane. After you stop it I guarantee you that the issue will be resolved.
Apps like Dashlane and Keepass, when enabled with accessibility option, are always working on the background and checking every screen for possible data breach. Once you disable it, you will be reborn and the phone will be smooth as butter.

If the 120hz screen is confirmed, then the stutters will be more noticeable. I don't really have them since i keep my phone pristine from bloat and take care of it as a baby, but I guess the random Samsung jaggyness can one day come back

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The Note 7 has the same amount of lag as every Samsung device. It'll never go away. We learn to deal with it, even though it still disappoints me year after year.

Agreed. Not nearly as smooth as my year old Nexus 6P.
You guys are complaining about the qualcomm version.
Over here with an SM-N930F (Exynos) and can't complain. Very smooth scrolling performance.
Deliberately opened a long thread from here on xda using Samsung browser (NOT CHROME) and it scrolls perfect even with music playing in the background while downloading a file.

I can confirm the choppiness not only with the browser but also the transition when switching between apps. I swear my iphone5s feels better than this brand new flagship from Samsung. I've tried to turn off all the animations and to no avail.

I've got a Tmobile Note 7. Mine seems to often not detect that I've tapped on something, and takes another tap or two to finally register. Other times, it'll be sluggish with scrolling, pulling down the notification shade, opening recent apps, and general on screen animations. The Samsung keyboard is especially bad.
The phone goes through almost no battery when asleep, so it doesn't seem like it would be something keeping the CPU active. This feels like either some sort of over-aggressive governor or some kind of conflict with data transferred to the new phone over Samsung Smart Switch.
I've rebooted multiple times, cleared app cache partition, changed animation scale to 0.5, disabled numerous Samsung bloat apps, nothing has helped. The issue started about a minute after I left the store, so it wasn't caused by any of this troubleshooting. Add this to the heat-up issues and unimpressive battery life when in use, and I am one frustrated dude. My S6 edge+ was leaps and bounds ahead of this thing.

yikes dude, your phone seems to have other problems other than the standard Samsung bs! tbh I haven't noticed stuttering while I've been using mine. Only problems I've had were with my back key, it took some time getting used to the placement and the capacitive touch buttons since I was coming from a phone with on-screen buttons. The only time I feel my phone gets hot is when I'm watching 1080p or higher videos while the phone is charging. You should try backing up important stuff to Google and then doing a full software reset and not use the smart switch stuff. I'll agree that the Samsung keyboard is not great I went back to SwiftKey but the screen size is something I'm still getting used to. I love that you can adjust the long press time to make it shorter on SwiftKey lol. Also Samsung browser is my default now just to test it out and I'm loving the fingerprint sign in thing for accounts and the ad block extension. Only good stuff so far
Exynos Note 7 reporting in - It's plenty fast and smooth so far.
Seems like the Exynos version is smooth while the SD820 is not as smooth.
Yup. Another exynos owner here - this is smoother than my 6P by far.

Said the same thing.
But one way to improve it -
disable as many bloat apps as possible.
Use a different launcher - sense launcher beta has made it much faster.
Use google chrome
My battery life has improved and things are marginally faster. But it is a crying shame that the nexus 6p, the htc 10, the moto z, and even samsung last devices (galaxy s6) are faster than the note 7 in the day to day.
It's ... unnerving

I found playing with the S7 ( still do not own a Note 7, will arrive next week, but S7 has the same processor) that is not responsive as I would have imagined. ( Exynos, european version).
My question is how much I can improve in percentage point the performance of my telephone installing a lighter than touchwiz new launcher?
As I am not rooting the phone, will Touchwiz continue to take a consistent amount of RAM and processor power for background services?:laugh:
Nothing wrong with touchwiz now phones snappy as it should be
Try turning off animations in developer options.
If you have s7 then why don't you try various other launchers and do your own research instead of being lazy!!!!

It is not mine the S7( also I should be quite rich to update from S7 to note7 ), I just played a bit. AFAIK in the video Samsung did a great job this year with Touchwiz, no doubt about that. Still I am curious to know which improvement I can have running a benchmark test with or without a light launcher.Possibly somebody did it.

I use nova launcher prime at the moment and intend on installing it on my note 7 when it arrives. It runs nice and quickly on my Xperia z3 so I imagined the note 7 will run very nicely with all the horsepower it offers!
Nova launcher can also be customised heavily allowing me to get my phone looking and operating just how I want it to.
nova is a very good launcher, I have used it since 5 phones ago, the best in my opinion
Nova launcher works great on N7 so far. First thing I download when I get a new phone
I like the Google Now launcher. But if you use it, beware not to turn on its listen-via-BT setting, as described at the end of this thread:

You're either blind or a liar.
Every Samsung phone still lags and drops frames. My Nexus 6P from last year, and every other flagship phone I've had this year, are basically lag and stutter free. Samsung packs too much crap onto their phones and gets away with it every year just like the article here on XDA pointed out. Turning off animations is not a good solution, if any solution at all. The lag is still going to be there, you just won't see it as easily.
If you want your phone to be faster, ditch the Samsung launcher for starters. I too highly recommend Nova. Also, buy one of the Package Disabler apps and turn off the junk you don't use. I still have a fairly feature rich Note7, but turned off crap I'll never use like the Edge screen, Samsung's launcher, and some built-in Samsung apps. The phone is pretty quick, especially since the last update, but there are still times where it stutters. Welcome to the world of Samsung. The only reason I accept it and deal with it is because they have the best camera, display, build, and features of all the flagships this year. But I prefer the software experience of my Nexus all day, every day.
I use htc sense beta. Perfectly fine for me actually

I fully agree that samsung are amazing pieces of hardware, and furthermore they do not take Coltan from Congo mines:laugh:
On the other side i hate bloatware, but would like to have an easy feature to back up all the disabled packages from package disabler
( i am guessing you mean this ), because i need to run developer tests, and I am wondering how to update to the new android version if I have the bloatware deactivated!
my questions in order of importance for you and others are
1) Do package disabler support a backup?TIf so takes time to back up to the original settings, as it is a function I could do quite often. Also could be that is not tested for Samsung Note 7.(EDIT: I saw it supports backup from the video)
2) Nova will disable also the following cool functions? the security folder, the edge function and smaller screen to use with one hand? If so I prefer touchwiz, differently by you I am an edge fan
There are a couple general rules that apply across android with any launcher...
Get enough stuff running in the background and it will hurt your phones performance. The saying with PCs way back was, "If you don't use it, lose it". It still applies today and is applicable to phones and tablets as well. An application you don't use running in the background is at best dead weight and at worst could be costing you resources. Get rid of whatever constitutes bloat for you.
Lots of screens populated with lots of widgets is going to cost you on any launcher.
Beware of applications and widgets which are just plain using too many resources in and of themselves and those which were working fine by themselves but conflict with others when used together.
IMO Nova is a good choice for a lot of people, I use AL3 which is a bit different and works better with the way I like to lay out my phone. You can also try one of the contextual launchers and see if you like those, they don't work well for me because my schedule is too random and I travel for work but those I tried seemed to be light on resource usage.
Like an I the only one noticing the animations and app drawer and just the UI feels less smooth and kind of blocky and laggy at times I have my animations at .5x but on 8.0 everything ran smoothly with .5x animation speed
Also the Facebook app is super laggy I can barley scroll down my feed without it lagging at every story that passes by what the hell did Google do to this phone?
Yes I've noticed exactly the same. Had to reboot a couple times because it got so bad. Also things seem to occasionally get stuck and not work - for instance voice recognition in assistant will stop recognizing my voice and get "stuck" in listening mode until I reboot.
Strange, mine seems smoother and battery life has been better than even when I got the phone about a year ago
I may bite the bullet and factory reset, I'm sure that will fix it
Well if I didn't have the exact same thoughts about 8.1 I would probably say OP was trolling given his post count and all.
8.1 is an unpolished release, period. 8.0 was fantastic overall, I don't know how Google messed up, or what they messed up! Clean flash with wipe by the way.
Really disappointed.
They're using the strategy of crapple to make the device slower so ppl ugrade to the pixel 2
I think 8.1 is garbage imo. Tbh I think 8.0 as a whole is worse than 7.1.2 I get much better performance/battery life on Nougat than 8.x

Nah 8.0 last release was the best firmware I've used on my phone. Fantastic performance. Incredible stability. My phone was up for over 3 weeks before this 8.1 crap was released and I was so excited to flash it, did even full wipe thinking it's a major platform upgrade so lets do it.
**** all effort. Should have stayed on 8.0. That was bloody prefect.

Wouldn't that make you NOT want another product from the same company since the phone only lasts a year? For instance, if Honda made cars only last 4 years so you can buy another one, wouldn't people stray away from buying from an unreliable company?
8.1 on my device has been absolutely fantastic. Best battery life and super stable
Apparently there lovers for:
7.12, 8.0, and 8.1.....guess you really cant please everyone
Yep, it's a lagfest.
Mentioned the same on Google's forum, request others to chime in those who are having the same problem.
https://productforums.google.com/fo...y3BGrIPkQ;context-place=forum/phone-by-google
Mine is smoother than ever on 8.1.
You can't say with apps that are not updated. And Facebook was and will always be one of the badest coded app around
Well I just got off the phone with Google support and they're trying to tell me it's the apps not being optimized for the update (API 27) idk what it is to be honest but there's a lot more lagging than the apps I feel like we aren't going to get this fixed anytime soonthe first Developer preview was great and ran smoothly then I opted out of the Beta with the second preview because it was terrible and this build feels exactly the same as the preview 2 it's like they just rebranded it as a official build I wonder if any of the other Pixel devices (Pixel non XL, Pixel 2/2XL) on the update are having issues or if it's just our phone
And at times the device will just lock up and be unresponsive to touch for a couple seconds then come back minor but still very annoying and it can't even keep things in the current running app in memory, icons or assets on the app have to be reloaded every single time you scroll passed them which just didn't happen on 8.0 I'm not getting the random reboots but this is definitely something wrong with the OS and memory management
Super laggy for me the Beta 1 was better.Feels like 4 years old phone now.
Pixel 1 user here getting the same stuff everyone is taking about. My screen will just go dark but the system is still live in the background. I press the power button then use the fingerprint, I feel the phone vibrate but the screen didn't come on. I feel like it might have something to do with heat, it seems worse when I have the case on or am charging.
Honestly I'm about to just downgrade to 7.1.2 then jump to oct-os
Only reason I'm asking is because I am curious after watching MKBHD complain about the phone slowing down. In my opinion, I don't feel like there has been any problems. ?

We are flashers, so will not keep phone without wiping for more than couple of months.. may be long term users might have slow down issues...
A few points:
1. Everything is relative.
Maybe the One Plus 6 is just so fast that the Pixel 2 XL feels slow?
I doubt it, but I also carry an Iphone 7 and that seems extremely slow compared to my Pixel 2 XL.
2. Software mods
MKHBD doesn't do much modding afaik, so he is also limited to the default software most of the time leaving often much to be desired.
One Plus uses a lot of time on software optimization also.
All said and done, I still think to say Pixel 2 XL is laggy or slow is borderline ridiculous at the moment.
I think he means it stutters alot more than the OnePlus 6, which makes sense. The OnePlus has a more powerful chip and much more ram.
I've only noticed dropped frames when I was using the Android p beta 2 , I could see the slowdowns, but with the latest update it has been nothing but butter.
There is some slow down.
Well to be honest my pixel 2xl hasn't slowed down completely but i do see stutters and lags while opening up camera and while switching between apps while multitasking. Im on stock 8.1 oreo and the only reason I'm not rooting it yet is coz I'm one of the unfortunate people who are stuck with bootloader locked Verizon pixel 2xls. And from my past experiences custom roms are more snappier than the stock ones.
I have a hard time believing that the P2XL stutters and drops more frames than the OP6. Looking at XDA's op6 performance and gaming review, it is clear that it has more jank and frame drops compared to the pixel. One thing that the oneplus 6 does outclass the pixel in is animation speed and all around snappiness. The way I have always seen it is oneplus devices are faster, but the pixel and pixel 2 are smoother. Imo, I'd prefer to have the smoothest phone than the fastest phone. That being said, the one slow down that I see on a daily basis is a delay between after I tap the home button and before the app close animation begins. Essentially there is a delay when closing apps. This does not happen in every app, usually apps that are either poorly optimized (snapchat) or apps that have a lot going on (chrome). Chrome and snapchat are the main apps that have this problem of taking longer than usual to close.
I thought some of the issues with Android Phone DP4 were that it introduced stutters and lag. At least, that's how it's been with mine. Another thing, though I don't think it's exclusive to the Pixel 2 is that whenever I put it to charge, or take it off Airplane Mode, for a minute or so, the phone becomes extremely laggy and unresponsive.
Mine is running great, smoother than my s9 plus
mine is speedy
only other phone rival it is when i put aosp on my s9+
I feel like there has been hiccups more often the first few months with the phone but I am on DP5. I plan on doing a factory restore when Android P stable gets released which is currently rumored to be August 20th. I usually do it at my one year with a phone anyway.

Well it's less than a year old and costs a lot of money so I don't expect it to slow down just yet. ??
Overall I don't feel my phone slowed down, but I agree with MKDHD that apps are reload frequently.

I didn't expect it either. Came from Samsung, and this was quite a surprise to me too!
But then again, Apple does it... and now they're a company worth 1 Trillion US Dollars.
It's not that hard to guess where the others will look for inspiration now.
I just feel oneplus bought mkbhd out.. it honestly sounded like a sponsored rant. With oneplus now tweeting about that video and mkbhd 'verifying' it. Just seems too staged
Honestly if he had only mentioned about the app reload which everyone will agree who uses more apps then definitely no doubt there is a difference between 4gb and 6gb ram, but he was using android P beta so you cannot be judging it but when he said in another device it got slow running oreo then i really can't belive it and the thing he was complaining about animation lol OP animations are different and the speed as well
This would be the same case with IPhone x getting slow because of the animation
The first ever video of Mkbhd i disliked
Sent from my Google Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
haven't experienced any slowdown tbh
Camera app definitely stutters more!!
Hi. I've had the phone for a bit more than two weeks now, and especially the past week this phone has been unbearably laggy. At times, video playback will lag behind audio (not on bluetooth or anything), app transitions are extremely sluggish, and anything to do with camera cannot even come close to sustaining 60fps. I'm not even playing games or doing anything intensive on this phone, just social media and taking pictures here and there. I haven't used any ADB debloating tool due to the fear that it'll break functionality, but if that helps i'll take a go at it. Has anyone been experiencing similar performance issues with the Exynos model? I am seriously regretting "upgrading" from my broken OnePlus 6T, at 3 years old it was so much more performant than my S22. How would I even go about diagnosing this? Thanks in advance.
During set-up of the phone,did you use Smart Sitch to restore a back-up of any data ?

No, I've set up everything from scratch. I've tried increasing RAM+ to 8GB from the default 4, but it hasn't helped.

I'm pretty sure increasing the RAM+ value, which essentially represents the swap memory, your phone slows down because you're using more of your phone's storage for things the RAM memory should take care of. 8GB is plenty enough for daily usage. There's no need for what Samsung did.
Try turning the feature off altogether with "adb shell settings put global ram_expand_size_list 0"

I've read this somewhere else as well (with how much bloat there is in OneUI I thought maybe they put the RAM+ feature there for a reason), I'll try to run it with 0 for a while and report back. Still, could this actually be the cause for this much stuttering?

Sorry! 0 actually sets it to default, which is 4gb. Set it to 2 from the settings, reboot and see how that goes.
Try reading this thing. It should give you an idea of what Ram+ is. While you're at it, got to the first page and have a look there. It's a very detailed thread on what you need to do to either get rid of the bloatware, tweak your phone and so on, without root.

Okay, good to know. I'll go through the thread (the message you sent was also helpful, I assumed it'd do the swapping once the memory is full) and debloat this as much as I could. But I still have to ask, is this the performance that I was supposed to expect from an 800€ phone?

I cancelled my preorder of the Exynos S22 because it took too long. I then ordered it from a store that brings international variants of all sorts of phones. My current S22 is from Hong Kong (TGY). What did I notice while using the phone? The battery life is TERRIBLE. I come from an iPhone 13 Pro which I used for almost 4 months but got rid of because of iOS. That thing was insanely good. I had absolutely no worries about the battery wherever I went and no matter what I was doing on it, because it was that good. Before that I used a Pixel 5, which was also the first phone which changed the way I charged my phone. Based on my usage, a full charge lasted me about 85-90% of what the iPhone lasted, so it was pretty close. This thing, TERRIBLE. I rooted it and cut the frequencies of all 3 core clusters almost in half to get half an hour more and get a little over 4h SOT.
So to answer your question, no it's definitely not worth it. I paid for this piece of rubbish 920€. Based on the experience I had so far, I wouldn't pay more than 600€ on it. I even wanted to return it and was looking to go back to a Pixel 5 which I regret selling in the first place, but after taking it out of the original white bumper case, in which I put it the second I unboxed the damn thing, I noticed small scratches all around the aluminium frame, which is supposed to be able to withstand a nuclear blast, based on Samsung's marketing BS. So the store tagged it as non-returnable because it's not "as new" anymore.
In conclusion, this is a terrible phone just because the battery is too small and the chipset is too inefficient for it, incompatible. And you are even "luckier" with your Exynos variant. FYI, Samsung sold SD variants of the S22 lienup in Koreea this time. Probably they didn't want to dissapoint their own people with their experimental chipset.

Hi,
It's true, there are reports everywhere of this problem. Every media app will stutter the image for a milisecond (twitch, instagram, youtube, etc) and the sound gets out of sync. A reboot works only for a couple of hours. Changing the ram will not solve this.
There are a lot of reports of this issue on the members app and they are aware of it. They say a patch will come but a lot has passed and the phone is almost unsuable for me. If I could, I would have return it.
I suggest you also report this on your members app.

Damn, I went through a billion reviews before getting this thing, none of them mentioned this. It's been almost a month since I got the phone so I probably can't return it. And even if I could, I really don't have the time to switch phones, with banking apps and backups and crap it takes too much time for me to just constantly jump between ROMs or phones. Was the S21 this bad as well? How is everyone even recommending Samsung phones to people?
There was an update relased today. I installed it and checked the performace right away.
It's still there! every video starts with a micro stutter. What the hell Samsung...

I just got the update as well. I'll try to install it but from your comments doesn't seem hopeful to actually help the issue. Still nice that they're this fast with updates though.
Side question, does video quality suck for you guys? Especially with the ultrawide, I get 2013-quality videos with a ton of artifacts, and its not even 60fps? (shows up at 41fps on file details).
Galaxy S22 has audio-video sync issues that need to be fixed
Samsung's latest Galaxy S22 flagship series is pretty darn good, but it is not perfect. Some lingering performance and stability ...
www.sammobile.com
Being fan and satisfied with Xiaomi for 6 years, I returned to Samsung (S22, exynos) 2 weeks ago to realize the biggest mistake I did! It charges slow, battery drain fast, multitasking gets slow, camera is disappointing at night and sticky in fast hand motions. Generally you can't count on it!
900€ trash 🫣. I can't even sell it .
Never, NEVER again Samsung.
Agree with everything that's been said here. I returned the s22 exynos and got my money back. I'm back to the s10e snapdragon version that works flawlessly with no lag, stable 60fps at games. The s22 is just a beautiful device but it doesn't work well at all, games suck hard playing on it at like 35-40 fps with lots of frame drops, and I dont think the updates are going to make any miracles with all this experimental hardware. A lot of stupid marketing on useless 4nanometres cpu that overheats and suffers from throttling. Are you kidding me?
I'm very happy with this s10e hongkong version, 3 years, updated to 4.0 and soon 4.1. After trying the s22 I found out that's not for what l had Samsung in mind due to my previous good user experience.
By the way: I debloated it as I know what to delete and what to keep not to lose any functionality. Battery wasn't as bad as other users, I was getting about 5-6h sot in 12-15h usage, but the phone lags bad in games and some menus. It has unforgivable issues as the desynchronized sound/video in youtube n other stuff for such a high price. Samsung ain't getting my money this time. Let's wait for pixel7- s22 Fe - Nothing Phone (1)
edit
ps: I believe it's a bad year regarding CPU. The 888 and 8gen1 are known for heating and eating more battery. So far the s21 series are better than the current s22, the pixel 6 series got some issues as well and yet another experimental CPU. One of the best choices is still the oneplus 8T? Come on. Wake up android market, some oldschool users are migrating to apple, which isn't on my plans personally.
Not that it's gonna change anything, but here's an update: the lag's worse than ever, audio playback will cut out randomly, media playback on the notification panel barely works. I still can't believe nobody outside this thread is talking about how despicable this phone is.
After the latest avda update with tons of debloating, the phone is running almost like a midrange phone.
I will keep it due to the size factor and cameras. But this is really unacceptable for the money asked.

Same here. Way too late to return it, nor do I have the time to go through the whole find a phone set up a phone process anyway. I'm gonna try to keep it as pristine as possible until the S23 and/or the Pixel 7 is out and see if I can trade-in for a reasonable price.
for me, it might be the iphone 14 pro
I'm missing tons of notifications and alarms now. This phone just keeps getting worse.
