Samsung fixes bugs on Galaxy Z Flip5's cover display, improves memory usage

28 August 2023
The so-called Flex Window is a key part of Z Flip5's appeal, but since it is so different from the Z Flip4 display, it needs some polish.

As a smartphone collector with over 30 phones, I'd like to humbly disagree with that statement.

    Oh of course, naturally. But in this case it does mean that. Apple is close too, or maybe they have even more, I'd say about equal. It's just the simple that simple thing called, experience. I have Infinix phones, you know, not exactly famous for giving a lot of software updates, my Zero Ultra got 1 security patch in almost 1 year and I have no issues, like bugs or anything that would need to be fixed.

    The Z Flip 5 has only been out for about 2 months and it already needs bug fixes. lol

        I bet you also don't know what a hypotheses is. Or is it that you suck this much at logic?

        Here, let me show you: having the most amount of bug fixes, in any case, wouldn't outrightly mean having the most amount of bugs. This shouldn't take much brain power to understand. But wait! I'll break it down further using an analogy: if Mr. X bathes more than Mr. Y, it won't automatically mean that Mr. X has more dirts on his body than Mr. Y. It might be that Mr. X has more access to water, or saner, or is more willing to bathe. Or all three!

        Did you get that or should I break it down further? Reduce hate, mate, it is known to impair thinking. Ciao!

                Not sure what you want me to tell you tho, other than the thing that I have a lot of phones, some are getting updates and some aren't, but I'm not just sitting around at home waiting for finally getting "that one bug" fixed on any of them, because they don't need any updates, yet we hear about Samsung phones getting bug fixes all the time, and.. well that's because they need those updates.

                I'd rather not need any updates and thus not get any, then having to constantly update my phone just so it works well. Ridiculous.

                  But I understand: most of you love making claims, but abhor substantiating them. Guess what? Anyone can claim anything on the Internet.

                  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I loved Samsung, but what they are up to right now is disgusting in my eyes, and I'd rather use anything else than their phones, and in fact that's exactly what I'm doing.

                    Have a nice day!

                      Take all the time you need, I'll wait.

                      People come to gsmarena and be talking cr@p that stems from sheer ignorance. Not just that; they make it seem like it's the truth. Tueh!

                          Removing One UI and making it pure android experience is best way to improve memory usage.

                            DarlingYext, 29 Aug 2023Absolutely not true, well maybe updates wouldn't get r... moreIt's not only Samsung. It's literally everyone. As hardware and software get more and more complex, they can't put out MILLIONS of products all in PERFECT condition 100% of the time. What you're asking is impossible. Even old hardware and software had bugs. Thinking it's "simple" and "updates are not needed anymore if there are no bugs" is naivete. If you want absolutely 0 bugs, don't use technology. Even NASA written code can have small bugs in them from time to time. But they aren't massed produced nor do they add stuff to them yearly.

                                DarlingYext, 29 Aug 2023Exactly! And then there are Samsung phones... lolI'll admit to purchasing a Z Fold4 last year, but I returned it after 5 days. It tries to be a "tablet" but all the software does is blow up the application to the 7.6" display without truly utilizing the extra screen real estate. It was a funny experience. I even knew I shouldn't buy it before doing so, but I really wanted to try a foldable.

Even the slimmest bezel bothers me, as I'm paying a lot, I buy expensive phones and I'm a collector.

                                      As I'm a collector, I have many phones and not all of them are curved and I sometimes switch between them, and a flat display just immediately bothers me, like I'm missing something.

                                        DarlingYext, 29 Aug 2023Eh, dunno. I prefer curved displays and the S23 Ultra is bo... moreOut of curiosity - why curved displays? Adds nothing except accidental touches and light reflections that damage the experience of using the device, IMO.
