My last phone was a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and mostly everything was what I wanted except 3 gripes that bothered me quite a bit
- Ads in Samsung apps I remember seeing ads every time I opened Samsung pay and some other apps that I don’t remember anymore. It just seemed bizarre that would be ads in their own apps.
- Poor standby time The phone would drain quite noticeably when it wasn’t snt in use and almost felt like the phone would last about the same time irregardless of whether I heavily used the phone or I left it alone.
- Camera shutter lag This was quite infuriating. There was a noticeable lag from the time I pressed the shutter button to the actual photo being captured leading to blurry images.
I was wondering if these things have been addressed in the newest generation of Samsung flagship phones. I’ve been considering switching to the S24 from an iPhone 13 Pro sometime next year.
I don’t use Samsung pay, so the only place I see ads is the Samsung Store. I just go straight to update apps bypassing the main screen and then I don’t see ads.
