1. The boxy design in Gallery App. It's just basic square tile now which looks worse than what was there earlier (rounded corners).

2. Settings. The whole brief pop-up settings and edge lightning is very confusing for me perhaps. I would like a separate menu for it, just like earlier. Also, I feel like many unnecessary changes were made overall.

3. Quick Panel. You can enable Button Grid for it thru goodlock app but the use it limited. There's no longer an option for a specific dimension like 3x4 or 4x4 for example. When swiping down in horizontal mode, the quick panel is limited to a part of screen and not the whole like earlier.

4. Group icons. No longer option for button grid on the groups on home screen. It's limited to 3 horizontal which i don't like and would like to customize but ig there's no longer an option for it.

5. Samsung Members App. Takes like literally 12 seconds to post a comment/like/post a forum.

General thoughts: Many unnecessary changes were made that limit the customization that was possible earlier. Many samsung app crashes remaib constant. Samsung please TEST TEST TEST before rolling out the updates. It hurts to be excited for the new updates and being returned with numerous errors.

Let me know if I have missed anything that you don't like in the new update as well.

i like the new look and subtle changes they've made, animations are smoother. If i could sum it up i would say the new update feels more polished in general. I also haven't encountered any issues so far.

to all 4 points. Samsung phones and applications in the past were very reliable and fun to use. I had pride of ownership and the envy of coworkers who had other models.
Note 8 I noticed the deterioration of application and software. I didn't buy until the Note20U5G. Now it's like I wonder if my phone will make it through the day without a glitch. Today there was no WiFi. Tried and tried. Called my service provider to confirm service then I rebooted the phone and WiFi was restored. The touch screen is touch and go...... it works, it doesn't work.
I'm thinking seriously of going back to my Note 8.

50 / 50 for me. There are like and dislike for Android11.

I like the new features, new look. But dislike icon space inside the folder. Also stability of the OS has issue.

My phone has factory reset and all apps downloaded freshly from playstore. I only restored phone history and SMS history. Everything new setup.

So far Camera app has been crashed 2 times and system crashed and rebooted once. I did send error report to Samsung using members app. Hopefully will fix some bugs in next update. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
