    This phone is so slow. Everything is slow and it's voice to text feature is terrible. I bought this to replace my lost Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. A big mistake. Luckily, a few weeks later , I found my Galaxy 25. Sadly, too late to return this one.

    My old phone, after 5 1/2 years, was faster

    I got this after my Samsung Galaxy s10e died after 5 1/2 years. I figured anything I bought would be faster than a phone that old. Wrong! It's much slower- tapping the screen often doesn't register for 4-5 seconds. I'll think the tap must have not gone through, so I'll tap it again, only to then have both taps register, and go somewhere I didn't want to go. The fingerprint sensor is more annoying than anything else because it works maybe 40% of the time - the passcode has become less frustrating to use. Then there's the problem of unlocking it find 3 apps open, none of which I had opened. It will randomly change display settings, move icons around, and not pick up bluetooth devices - even when everyone in the room has a phone that picks it up. As for basic functions, it works.....if you can tolerate the annoyances.
