S20 is my last Samsung device
I'm done with Samsung if the bugs won't be fixed
1000 Bucks for a phone and Samsung is still not able to delivery nearly the quality as other manufacturers.
Phones are full of software flaws and it's becoming extremely annoying...

-Notification bar icons are not centered vertically and icons are way too small
(need to use the "waterfall cut out" workaround every time I reboot my device.... -.-
as mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/status-or-notification-bar-too-small-for-samsung-phone.4177863/)
Take a look at iPhones, One Plus and Pixel Phones - They are doing it correctly - Perfect sized Icons centered on the notification bar

-Fingerprint sensor is a nightmare
At least 30% of fingerprint scans are missed.

-USB-C to audio
It's pure luck to get a USB-C to audio converter that actually works...
Beside the original samsung converter (which is only available in white color and has bad quality - both audio and hardware) almost no converter out there works properly. I tried multiple different brands with and without DAC and only 1 converter has worked so far...!
But the real nightmare starts, when you try to use a external microphone. It's almost impossible to get a microphone working correctly.

-Apps are killed all the time
Why are you doing this Samsung???
Can't you just let the users decide if they wanna keep apps running or save battery life?
It's our device. So please stop patronizing us.
Even the launcher home ui is killed in the background.
(https://dontkillmyapp.com/ didn't help at all. You can't disable app killing completely on Samsung devices.
There is a reason why samsung devices have the worst ranking on https://dontkillmyapp.com/)

-Lags
There a lot of micro lags and stutters
But the most important one is the lag that occurs when you use the "open recents" or "back to home" swipe gesture.
The lag occurs when the opened app is "detached" from the viewport. Exactly in the moment when the vibration happens.
(No wonder, when the launcher process home ui is killed in the background and needs to be loaded again when the currently opened app gets minimized or closed. Check my point above: Apps are killed all the time)
Sorry, but lagging swipe gesture on a 1000 bucks phone is simply pathetic.
People with cheap Xiaomi phones are laughing, when they see the lag on my high-end Samsung device
Because even the cheapest Xiaomi phones don't lag when using gestures

-60 FPS mode is no real 60 FPS
If you compare the 60 FPS mode on samsung to another 60 FPS device you will see the micro stutters
I don't know what wrong here but the 60 FPS mode feels more like 50 FPS

-Border radius is wrong
Why do all the ui elements have a higher border radius than the device display it self?
Looks way too round. Especially noticeable on phones like S20 FE.
When you open an app preview from recents the border radius will adjust after the app is opened again.
The result is a weird border radius animation that happens after the app is opened.

-Live wallpapers are no "real" live wallpapers

-Gestures look and feel different if third party launcher is installed

-Clear view cover is basically useless
No instant lock, almost no configuration, music players covers are often not working

-Almost no AOD configuration

-No real smart charging
Samsung adaptive charging is not the same as real smart charging and not useful at all...
We want to configure smart charging on our own. Preconfigured adaptive charging is useless.
I need to use chargie from https://chargie.org/ because Samsung is not able to include a "real" smart charging mode

-Can't disable bixby completely


I got even more. Want me continue?

When it comes into having everything, samsung kinda takes the cup atleast in case of their latest flagships.

When it comes into perfection, iOS takes the cup. Every single small detail has perfection.

Animation is one example here

It looks like xiaomi and Samsung made their ui together that's why there are full of bugs

Oneui is still not optimised well. I too have those gesture lags in my M51 but works well with navigation bar.
Also send the same to error report/feedback section so that they fix this soon.
