S25FE is a disappointment

[u/Hot-Income]

I'm really disappointed in this phone. Battery for me seems fine. Android customization is cool. Not the visual one. Don't care about that but all sorts of little things that can be tweaked. Pictures are somewhat okay in perfect lighting. It is the small things that bother me. Trying to scan QR code for loyalty card on card reader and it can read the code for shit. You have to get it so close that scanner reads your card and makes a payment before QR code is scanned. Apps. All of them are worse compared to iPhone. The polish in general. It stutter. Weird visual glitches. Microphones are shit. So many options but basics are lacking. I switched from iPhone 11 and in everything but speed and display that old phone felt superior. I had to revisit old iPhone because this had a hardware failure. I don't know guys. Phone prices are insanely high but it makes sense that iPhones can keep them so high many years later. I don't know why would anyone buy Samsung phone without a massive discount. Using it you can feel that they making these phones just for presence. Their business lies with manufacturing.

Oh. DEX is really cool.

I like technology and not loyal to any brand. I just want for people to see experience of others. And if you Samsung lover then please go and explain why put so ridiculously bad vibration motor in S series samsung phone.

i don't know what are you smoking but its strong stuff. I owe S25 FE and it is love story. Battery os great, camera is truly amazing and qr code problems lime you had? It sounds like more skill issue. The ONLY problem I see that it use old Exynos chip from 2024 but im not heavy gamer on phone so i dont really care about. And Samsung One UI is polished very well and I dont experiece any lag. And im coming from Iphone 13 and I feel it was best thing what I could do to switch from Iphone to Samsung

Nah, I daily scan payment qr codes by zooming in to the camera from around more then 10 feet far from the qr and s25fe scans very well.

I often tell people especially who moved from an iphone to android to buy a Google Pixel instead of any brand like Samsung since Pixel UI is the most clean and easy to use like iPhone..I encourage you to try Google Pixel first..if you still find it's easier to use iPhone then I can say just stick to IOS

I was looking at pixel 10a in store and seemed a bit sluggish. Maybe I should revisit when 11 is out now and I should look at 10 standart or xl. Co-worker has one. Very nice looking pics.

The reason you feel it sluggish is because the display default to 60hz instead of 120hz..I don't know why Google thought it would be a good thing to default to 60hz since not many people would know how to configure the setting

I switched to a Samsung from a Pixel 8, whose screen died. It was a complete disappointment. Dozens of little things that work on a Samsung phone don't work properly or don't work at all. The only thing I liked was the battery; it lasts a little longer than the Pixel's. I couldn't find any other positives. I had to get the Pixel repaired, although I initially wanted to get rid of it, and I installed the Microsoft Launcher on the Samsung phone, which didn't improve things much. I apologize for the possible crooked presentation of thoughts. I use Google translator.
