Samsung A31 after Feb 2023 Security Update

[ClayPH]

Could no longer watch Cignal Netflix Disney and Prime Video on my phone again since it keeps lagging after updating to the latest android security version. Just sad that instead of experiencing an upgrade, its performance seem to be going downhill all the more. I used to love Samsung but now I don't know what to feel, could no longer recommend your A series models to my family and friends. 😕
