The most common complaints center around fuzzy text, a faint grain or sand-like texture across the UI, and a general softness that becomes obvious when reading rather than watching video. Interestingly, a lot of users noted the effect is present even with Privacy Display turned off

Though these new phones and most Samsung devices generally have high quality, durable, and reliable hardware, the devs are making pretty crappy choices about software changes and some hardware choices are just disappointing... This screen, the camera bumps, the old and outdated battery tech.

Samy is falling behind and mucking things up. They're only likely to stay relevant because of their long standing history.

I mean, I wanna like their tech, but mostly I don't right now, even though I used to love it.... I can see business pros continuing to use their devices, but I don't want an iPhone clone personally.

Seems like Samsung is only competitive in markets without competition from Chinese phones like the US.

In places like Singapore, Samsung have to undercut pretty much everyone else in price.
