UI 7.0 update

Jodi22 . 8 months

This phone, which I've had for about 3 years, was absolutely fine until May of this year when Samsung decided to introduce the UI 7.0 update. Since that point, mine and many other people's batteries die at an expedited rate. I now have to charge my phone twice a day. Within a few hours, my battery is down to 65 percent. I have altered all of the settings to preserve battery, yet, there's been no resolution from Samsung. So many bad reviews are online about this update.......nothing has been done. I do not recommend this phone, and again, I am very hesitant to buy another Samsung phone.

Not Made to Last!

Laura . 9 months

I got this phone just at a year ago for my Mom and it has not lasted without issue. The battery gave out and the device does not charge past 8% and she can no longer make or receive calls. For the price, so not worth it! Horrible experience!

A flawed phone

Shar . 10 months

This phone has an extremely hard time connecting to the t mobile network. When trying to troubleshoot, t -mobile blames samsung, samsung blames t - mobile. I've worked with T-Mobile to refresh the network, clear the cache, go from a physical sim to the esim and I've worked with Samsung to bring it to there. Third party repair group, for them to tell me there's nothing wrong with the phone. In the meantime, for the last year and a half, I've been dealing with dropped calls, calls not connecting, my voice dropping while, I'm still connected and people telling me they can't hear me, voice text interpretation that is ridiculous, not to mention me giving up hours and hours of my time either on the phone with Samsung or standing in a t mobile store, all resulting in me stuck with this phone with samsung, not willing to simply exchange it. The current status is Samsung. Expects me to go back to the third party provider, have them confirm that it's broken and then send it to Samsung so they can look at it and confirm that it's broken, all the while I'm without a device, which they admitted could take potentially two weeks. In this day and age, who can be without a device for that amount of time? Samsung needs to step up. And simply send me a new device and allow me to send this one back after I receive the new one. I told the clerk on the phone. I am happy to pay for the device and have them credit me back when they receive mine. She would not do that. A major problem is that these frontline clerks have no power to really give the customer service that is truly necessary. Whether it's Samsung, T-Mobile, the cable company or anything else, these people are trained to be robots and just repeat a script.

Find a better phone.

Ronw . 1 year

Where do I start. T This phone has no battery life. It comes with more useless apps than any other phone I have gotten. It is very slow operating system. Bothing about this phone was an upgrade to a S10. My old phone held service better and was able to send text constantly. This is the worst phone I've had with Verizon in 30 years!!
