I think I’m nearly reaching the end of my tether now with this phone. It’s been nothing but niggly bugs since day one.
I have just been on holiday, and on the way there, my phone decided to refuse to connect to my bluetooth headphones for the first time ever, while about to embark on a flight. This, as you can imagine, was probably the worst time it could possibly decide to do this. I eventually got it working by rebooting and re-pairing the phones, but I shouldn’t have to do this.
I have noticed a bit of lag creeping in these days. It seems completely random. Most of the time its really quick but now and again it just seems to slow down to a crawl, which it can either recover from or requires a reboot.
And now, I’ve just got back, forgot to plug my phone in overnight, but its really low on juice. I’ve had it plugged in for 20 minutes now, and despite “charging rapidly” its managed to get from 7% to 9% and quotes 9 hours to charge. Absolutely pathetic. Surely one of the main selling points of fast charging is the fact that you can get a good bit of juice into your phone in a short amount of time. So now I have to go out and my phone will probably go dead while I’m out.
When it works, this is one of the most enjoyable phones to use I’ve had, but overall, I have to say, it’s been one of the worst I’ve ever owned, and in combination with the sub-par screen along with the all the bugs, I’ve totally gone off the phone now. I had fully intended to keep it years but now I just don’t know how much more I can stand. I just want a device that works. I’ll probably end up on an iDevice or another Samsung - I had far less issues with my S7 Edge than I had with this. To add insult to injury, the depreciation is utterly horrific!
