Expensive Phone with Constantly Regressing Features

NoMoreSamsung . 22 days ago

This is my 5th Samsung phone in over a decade. The new features are never explained nor shown. Alarms are skipped constantly. I've had to set my iPad alarm to wake up and will watch my phone not sound. The vibration stopped working properly after 1 month. I'm at the point where I'm waiting to pay off the phone to get an iPhone and never look back. I'll keep it for the camera and that's all. The Watch6 and phone constantly diwconnect from each other. Samsung support like all support is dwindling. You just have to spend your money and take whatever nonsense is thrown at you. You can't get better service. Nothing will improve. They're only going to add more and more auto features and AI.

They are getting worse every year

Sammy . 1 month ago

I’ve owned galaxy devices since the S7 was launched. I currently own a 23 ultra and it’s unbearable to use. It has issues with cellular connectivity when traveling as if it refuses to connect to a new,closer tower. The usb port is super slow for data transfer even though these are advertised as having super fast storage. What good is fast storage on a phone with a terabyte of storage if when you plug in an external ssd it takes hours to transfer a couple gigs?? I had a note 20 ultra and it used to transfer large files over usb lightning fast. Not sure I can continue to support this kind of degradation in quality.

I bought this phone almost 2 years ago and keep it on for 23 hours daily. I use a diabetic CGM and Insulin pump with this phone. I've had no issues using this phone the whole time. I had the battery checked out roughly a month ago and I brought it in to have the battery checked and they told me there is no need its in perfect shape after 2 years.

When a piece of hardware like a Samsung phone hits the market it takes a year before the software comes out for that piece of hardware like a Samsung S23 Ultra. So, I'm swinging with style and the incredible things this phone was really built for is happening as we speak!!!
