Most of the time, the fingerprint sensor on my Galaxy S25 Ultra does not work. It only functions properly after restarting the phone, which is extremely frustrating. I expected a premium experience from a flagship device, but this issue makes me seriously question that.

In addition, Samsung Wallet frequently fails when making payments. This has embarrassed me multiple times, especially at restaurants, while my friends using Apple devices face no such issues. It’s disappointing and unacceptable from a brand I have trusted for years.

I upgraded to the S25 Ultra because of my confidence in SAMSUNG, but these ongoing issues are making me reconsider that trust. Please address these problems through a software update as soon as possible. If you continue, I may have no choice but to consider switching to another brand.

Dear Samsung ; please focus on perfecting the core features of your devices instead of trying to follow trends. Reliability and user experience should always come first.

Thank you.

Remove the protection and try the fingerprint Some screens are not compatible with the fingerprint sensors

Then make sure you re-enter your fingerprint in the settings.
