      These “small misses” certainly add up over time. Ergonomics and Practicality have gone out the window on modern samsung phones. Every Samsung phones I have owned past S10(including s10) have had defects which shouldnt of made it past QC. For example, dust in camera lens(doesnt effect the cameras but shouldnt be there), the frame not sitting flush with front and back glass. Aside from that. Take the Samsung Z Fold. The Front screen is so small and in such an unusual aspect ratio that it makes it almost unusable without opening up the big screen. Another example, S22 has a sharp edge on the camera lip thing which will take your finger by surprise. The S23 Ultra ergonomics being non existent, Flat Top and bottom is extremely uncomfortable to hold due to the edges on such a heavy phone, speaker placement being covered in landscape orientation. Samsung S9 series was the last good Samsung phone. Because it at least had the basics: Practicality and Ergonomics. It wasnt great then, but its even worse now. Samsung has made me switch to Google Pixel and Sony Xperia. And you have no idea how happy i was when Google dropped samsung for manufacturing tensor. Tensor will no longer suck in benchmarks!
