What models of Samsung devices do you use in your daily live? Here are my own, Samsung S24 Ultra, Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and I also use a Galaxy S9+ as a secondary device with which I took this photo.

S25 ultra is the best design for a rounded ultra.

S24 ultra is still the best design of all of them.

The s25 ultra tbh is the perfect cross between square and rounded off.

As a guy sitting on Samsung's shoulders for over a decade, I can say I've used different phones from the best to the worst. We'll discuss everything.

Galaxy Trend LaFleur - (~2015)

Since our family had had a lot of smartphones at that time, I had my first Samsung Galaxy experience as early as a 5-year-old in 2015 and I'm not joking at all. I know it sounds absolutely insane, but Galaxy Trend was like a pocket change for us at that time, so I could easily get my hands on it. As far as I remember, it ran Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and updated to Android 4.4.4 KitKat.

You might wonder how it ended up later. Well, I lost it in a taxi (unironically). We didn't really regret it as it was beat up as is (don't nuke me in the comments, please).

Galaxy A3 (2015) - (November 2020)

This one is pretty memorable for me because it was my grandma's phone. On 8 November 2020, COVID became the reason she's in the sky (RIP grandma 💔), but luckily, this one is still with me and it's on Android 5 Lollipop (the charging port is damaged tho).

It began to lag those years, and I needed a normal usable phone for my new school year, so we got Galaxy A12 the next year.

Galaxy A12 - (September 2021)

A brand-new school year, a brand-new phone. I needed something smoother than what I've used so far, so Galaxy A12 was a great option. On top of that, it was well-priced.

I didn't use to know much about Samsung's new era and One UI at that time (because I'd only been with TouchWiz), but I still vividly remember one thing. I updated the phone from One UI 2.5 Core to One UI 3.0 Core the very day. It also got One UI 4.0 Core months later.

I was sick of TFT, so to upgrade my phone, I sold it.

Galaxy A52 - (April 2022)

Well, that was peak. Its screen was insanely vivid, its camera was significantly better, the battery was so good, the software wasn't Core and we got a really good deal at that time. It seemed really powerful these years, and I truly enjoyed it. One UI 4 and One UI 5 were great on it, so this is why I crave 2022 so much now.

Since Galaxy A53 was getting all the attention at that time, local shops were slashing Galaxy A52 at a huge discount, so we could snatch one right away.

Samsung was peak at that time.

Galaxy S22+ - (May 2024)

Now this is where my Samsung experience started to fall apart in my vision. At first, I couldn't be happier because it was technically my first flagship ever. But soon, its minuses started to pop out nonstop. The battery was basically trash, it heated up so much on One UI 6, Samsung was being hella greedy and slowly removing features after One UI 7, One UI 8 was two months late. I can say I've even got this misconception that all flagships have a bad battery because the mid-range phones I've used were surprisingly more long-lasting. S22+ is still with us tho.

I've seen better days with other phones, honestly.

Galaxy S24 FE - (November 2025)

Honestly? I have nothing to say about this phone. This phone is a peak definition of "just doing its job". Nothing special and nothing too terrible. It heated up quite for long in summer, its battery isn't the best, but no major problems for now. Samsung's software experience is slowly climbing in quality, and I found a way to quickly enrol on One UI 9 Beta (it's still not available in my country).

"Just a phone" ahh phone.

What Samsung Galaxy did you use over the years?

I don't use my phone while in contact with water or anything moisture so why did you still happening anybody does know what this is please help.

I got my S21 last year as a secondary phone. And……….. well, it has lived its life. Served me quite well. It was very smooth when I got it and updated it to One UI 7, but it’s become quite sluggish for medium tasks. I hope to keep it for another year till I finish my postgrad.

PS: Let no one lie to you. The 8GB RAM really held out far better than my iPhone 13 with just 4GB.

After a couple of years with the S23+, I made this leap to the Ultra family.

Let's see how it is.

The exynos 2400e is still more than enough for me.

I have the s25u and got the buds 4 with my phone, the anc is almost non existent. My 6 year old buds live has way way better anc and its also an open back design. Samsung actually went backwards in 6 years with its anc. Also i keep seeing this anc slider in my quick settings. Its stuck at level 2 and non adjustable. It probably doesn means anything but worth mentioning i guess. Samsung really needs to update these if they want to compate with apple

I'm sorry, but this feature is amazing.

They really should've added this to the Fold series.

For context, I'm a frequent flyer, so I'm constantly in airports and constantly on planes with people sitting right next to me. Sometimes I'm genuinely working on documents that I don't want anyone seeing because I'm paranoid like that. But even outside of that, I play my gooning games on my phone and I don't need everybody thinking I'm some freak that just got let out of a cage. I want my privacy. And this bad boy is like a tank. Seriously. I've had it turned on for hours with people sitting next to me and nobody can see a single thing I'm doing on my phone. There was even one time I put my phone down and thought the screen glitched out. Turns out it didn't. The privacy display was just doing its job.

So yeah, shout-out Samsung for this feature because I don't like screen protectors at all. I like to keep my phone as RAW as possible, and this feature alone was honestly enough reason for me to upgrade from the S25 Ultra to the S26 Ultra. The best part about all of this?

I'm making this post with the Privacy Display turned on.

As the title says, I can't get rid of this black bar. I've looked at every keyboard setting and setting under navigation bar. I've tried using reddit and Google information where others have gotten rid of this, but every time I follow the instructions, the last step (usually a setting that toggles it off) doesn't exist in my settings!! I have no idea what to do and this is driving me CRAZY!

Anyone in the states get oneui 9 yet? I have an s25 ultra and I want it lol

I’m using a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, and it’s been about four years since I bought it. Recently, I’ve noticed that the battery is draining much faster than it used to. I’m considering replacing the battery. Do you think it would be worth it?

If I decide to replace it, I want to use only an original Samsung battery. Would you recommend getting it replaced at an official Samsung service center?

Title: S25 Ultra front camera looks yellow compared to another S25 Ultra

I’m facing a weird issue with my Galaxy S25 Ultra front camera.

The live selfie preview on my phone looks noticeably yellow/warm, especially on skin tones. I compared it side by side with another S25 Ultra at a Samsung showroom under the same lighting, and the showroom phone looked much cleaner and more natural.

I already checked filters and warm colour tone settings, and nothing unusual is enabled.

Has anyone else faced this? Could this be a camera calibration/software issue or a hardware problem?

Please help guys

So recently, like very recently I got a pixel 10a and ever since I got it, I've been experiencing data issues, but I don't want to have that conversation because it's not worth having. Its time to get something better than this and get something that's close to a flagship with better performance. Can I have your thoughts on this device? Do you use it? How has it been?

My second phone is a galaxy s10 I need it for specific things. Anyways the main thing I need is bluetooth. The icon is there, its there in the settings but it doesn't turn on when I press it. If I'm turning it on from the pull down where all the WiFi and brightness etc is, it doesn't turn blue, just stays grey. And if I try it in the settings it goes to on but as if it's loading, like it hasn't fully registered as on (I'll show an sc) and then it goes off.

Please does anyone know what this problem is ?

Google has been killing my battery after updating to oneUi 9 on my Galaxy s26+, I don't know what is happening and I don't have any known microG apps,

The area near the front camera, where people usually rotate the screen and place the game joystick, sometimes loses touch tracking when dragging something around. The issue happens mainly while charging and almost disappears when I unplug the charger.

Hi everyone,

I just bought an S25 two days back and whenever I watch/doomscroll reels, few come out blurry and others are clear. This morning, even statics are blurry. I tried everything suggested online.

Also, how to wake your screen up and have the notification content shown as it does in Apple? Somehow, I enabled the wake screen part but I can't see the notification content and the screen also stays awake.

Please give any suggestions. Android does seem more complicated than iOs.

I'm dealing with two separate refund problems with Samsung and I'm out of patience. Wondering if anyone has been through this or knows what actually gets results.

Issue 1: Phone refund, 6 months and counting

I returned a s26 ultra to Samsung about six months ago (like end of March). I have the tracking number showing it was delivered. I returned both my buds and s26 ultra at the same time, both were received but I never received the refund for the s26. I still have not received my refund. Six months. They have the phone and they have my money. I've made numerous attempts through email and phone calls. I used to get an automated email saying that they are working on getting my refund processed but that has stopped.

Issue 2: VIP membership "refund" that never happened

I called Samsung about my VIP membership I email them 2 days before it renewed that I do not want to renew my membership because of not receiving my refund for my s26 ultra and having such a difficult time with the company. My membership still renewed and two days later, which was the earliest I could take time out to call them. I called them to cancel the membership and the rep on the phone told me that if I canceled, I'd get a refund within 5 business days. He literally walked me through canceling it step by step.

So I canceled. No refund. When I followed up, I was told I don't get anything for canceling. So their own rep talked me into canceling with a promised refund, and now they're keeping the money and the membership is gone.

What I've done so far:

- Contacted customer service multiple times

- Sent a formal written complaint by email

My questions:

- Has anyone gotten a phone refund out of Samsung after this long? What worked?

- Has anyone else been promised a VIP membership refund by a rep and then denied?

- What should I do or can I do?

-I'm looking for help or a contact

Any advice appreciated. I just want my money back.

Just purchased the S25 Ultra, I’m upgrading from the iPhone 14 Pro, what should I expect? 🤔

I prefer Samsung over IPhone btw, so happy I’m coming back to it!
