I can't shake this feeling. I haven't stopped thinking about it. So much of me wishes that I stuck with the iPhone. At this point, the only thing stopping me is money. I'm so disappointed, unsatisfied and angry.
FIRSTLY, F OFF WITH THE GALAXY AI. They are treating it like a entirely new product vs the dull, lackluster feature that it is. Like Apple Intelligence and it's integration with siri, whereas we just piggyback of Google assistant because they gave up on Bixby.
Secondly, it is so *** hard to get some goddam compatibility between apps. For example, every photo is in my Google photos app and almost nothing on the native gallery. However, if I want to post something on Instagram, I have to individually download the photos to my gallery. In addition, Samsung relies on google so much that Samsung native apps, such as email, is terrible compared to Gmail. They just don't try. Everything is half assed on the software front, everything is so uncoordinated, and it is just a mess.
THIRDLY, it seems as though they are happy piggybacking on other company such as Google or Onedrive. There is no Samsung Cloud where you can save your device to a cloud (like icloud). Instead the partnered in the weirdest way with Onedrive and I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
SMH. Samsung shouldn't have the status that they do. When you really think about it, what is great about the Samsung phone? The hardware? SURE. The software? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
People talk about how the UI is great. I call bs because I bet you they are using third party apps and services like Google because Samsung's is nonexistent or useless. ANYONE USE SAMSING INTERNET? No, I doubt it.
So disappointed. Samsung is your reading this, pls trade my S24 + for a iPhone. I'm done, you lost me.
They designed the external SD card out of their devices and have some BS explanation as to why. They don't care about your or my complaints or suggestions, and it's all lip service here.
It's just a phone so if you're not happy with what they offer you, switch to something else. It's your hard earned money so you deserve to be happy with what you spend it on. No one should stop you or convince you otherwise. My S24 Ultra might also just be my last Samsung unless they really really impress me with the next one.
But I think people again complain about duplicate apps when Samsung has its own alternatives. People asking why Bixby when Google assistant is there, same with calendar, calculator, phone, message apps. A lot of people want to go with Google apps instead of Samsung. And that is the reason even Samsung stopped providing its message app on the latest phones.
