1. Over processed images and video not only on camera but whilst surfing the web. Everything looks super airbrushed and forget about enhancing the image with Gemini as low grade images and even some higher grade images come out linear looking and cartoonish.

2. Far less ability to take quality pictures in dark settings. Lots of detail is lost in the dark.

3. Insane battery drain even when phone is idle or unplugging after 100% looking at a photo and seeing it drop into the 90s.

4. No longer being able to seamlessly call an individual in my contact list by using the hey Google command. Sometimes it will ask me who I want to call and other times it will give me a list of locations on the internet. Other times still it will call the wrong number. Randomly, it will seamlessly call one of my contacts as it used to before the update but this is rare.

5. Editing photos via detail with automatic filters are terrible. The auto function turns images incredibly saturated and Incredibly dark.

6. No longer seamlessly able to press the share button whilst sharing a video or photo directly to a person in my contact list. It just goes directly to my recent calls. The only way around this is to Click Share, copy the address or image and then step two is to click on the messages icon and then step three is to select the person from the contact list. Even if I am sending multiple text to that individual I still have to repeat these extra steps it doesn't automatically recognize like it used to before the update. Actually, this might even be considered a four-step process as when I am step 3 I have to scroll through all of my contacts to select the person I want to send a shared item with through Messenger. If I'm sending multiple items through multiple texts that individual does not go at the top of my contact list meaning every single time I have to scroll through my entire contacts to find the person I am sending photos or images to.

7. Display looks terrible part of this is because of the hypersaturated pictures so even my ambient wallpaper has super high contrast on it the default lighting is very bright and if I lower it to Midway like I used to before the update everything looks even more terrible. The widgets added to my lock screen such as time and date moon phase Etc are larger. Folder icon images and app image placeholders do not look professional but rather childish. Very unappealing. Everything is too big.

8. Wifi Constantly dropping or lagging causing slow performance when watching videos.

9. Receiving voicemails or texts without notification on occasion

10. Even after voice retraining and clearing my cache partition in safe mode, and continue to have issues with hey Google and also with speech to text. I know that there are two different keyboards that you can choose from the Samsung keyboard or the Google before the update and I believe that still the case but I remember giving up on the Samsung keyboard because when I tried to speak punctuation like Dot it would come out like. See what it just did there? Same thing with....period. 

11. Again as I've already mentioned all images are over processed and look AI rather than human or animal, I am also finding whilst using hey Google that the AI Gemini often answers completely different things than what I'm asking. Other times hey Google will ask me to unlock my phone first before it can answer me. Basically every single useful feature of this phone that set it apart from so many other phones have been removed and denigrated. It's akin to going back in time with video game consoles like Nintendo and Mario Brothers with the latest quasi realistic gaming.

I've already found the work around thanks to this forum on how to stop that awful split screen but the S Series is supposed to be known for cameras that far exceed iPhones I adamantly agree. My Samsung 24 used to be an incredible phone now everything just looks cartoonish unrealistic and I can't take quality photos and I can't really use the phone throughout the day without charging it more than once. I am located in Canada and I just had my update rollout last month. Very disappointed. Just wondering how many other people are having these issues and what have you done to get around it?

Are you talking about the photo ambiant lock screen? Mine didn't work at first either. I can't remember if I downloaded a different weather app or I changed the city to the specific part of the city. When it started working it kept defaulting itself back to the wrong area so I was getting the wrong weather data raining on my image when it shouldn't have been raining and it was sunny outside and so I went in and chose to make my specific suburb the primary. If you have a weather widget on your phone you could try deleting it and then placing it back and make sure the city or suburb is correct.
