BigPipo, 30 Apr 2021This phone is a totaly s**t after less than 2 years the bat... moreI feel the same, as I wrote in separate comment, it does not hold anymore. There is no way one could change battery. At 3000 MAH if not less it barely stays a day. If battery is under 15%, outside it will run in colder weather instantly leaving you with no phone. Unless you are prepared. I need to take with me 10 000 MAH chargering case everywhere with me now. It just drops all the time, the battery. Less than 2 years. My next phone will be 5000 MAH battery at least. I think I could use my phone for under a year more, but with this battery I do not think over 24 months will be possible. I am not even using it that music, it just plays Spotify when I am out and casually look at timetables.

Using since summer 2020.
Battery is now only average, daily I am charging it even with little usage. The fast is everything for my needs. Do not lag at all. I think the battery is weak point. When at 15% and outside, it goes in seconds to zero. Go out only if battery is 100%, especially when cold outside, it will drain much faster, and may leave you with no phone for hours.
For price I paid, maybe will go another year at €169 with case, but hardly think it will be possible to go any longer because of weak point which is battery usage time.

Does anyone know why I'm not getting the Android 11 update? I am still stuck on Android 9 for some reason. Do I have to manually install the package via the boot menu or is the OTA package blocked in the UK? Any help is appreciated

In my experience it never had screen recorder in the quick menu and we have it for 2 years now.
I just accidentaly discovered it in the Game Booster app meaning I am uncertain if it can be used outside of games.

I have this phone for more than a year. Very good phone. In three words; Very very good screen and selfie camera, good performance and camera and average battery. And the screen is almost borderless and it has One UI 3.1 and android 11(unsure why this page has still not updated that).
Overall a very good phone with no problems. I recommend.

I am aware that this phone is in the low-mid range (bought it €250, which is an average monthly wage in my country) and i was happy with it untill the update two months ago but i decided to give it a go.Unfortunately this morning I missed my exam(10:00) and i came to work at 02:50 instead of 12:00 since my shitty phone decided to malfunction, the screen was dark and unresponsive and the calls and alarms were disabled..totally unreliable..has no battery to be removed so it can restart so i had to randomly click all the buttons for 15 min so it resrarted somehow, its not physicly damaged anyware althoe within the first few months of use it developed ulgy dots on the back but i placed it in a mask so i wasnt bothered by it.Wrote an e-mail regarding the buggy rushed android 12 two days after the update but nobody bothered to reply.All in all very bad experiance tho i had every S model between S1 and S6 edge, then used huawei and iphone for years since the stupid display fail on s6 edge and my return to this shit was dissapointing.DONT BUY SAMSUNG ITS AN UNRELIABLE RUSHED OVERPRICED BRAND

The phone works well, has dual sim and runs apps relatively fast. Battery life was initially good but within a year I would have to charge it every night and with several phone calls in a day, would have to be charged twice in a day. However, within a month my phone stopped charging when I plugged it in. Initially, I'd unplug and replug and that would fix the issue. Then after a year, it got to the point where I would have to hold the Samsung logo on the back of the phone to get it to charge. By 1.8 years even this method no longer worked so I sent it off to Samsung to repair as it is a known fault and my phone was still within the 2-year warranty. This is where it gets bad. Samsung damaged the phone in transit so the screen had cracks and therefore voided the warranty and tried to charge me £124 for a screen repair (battery repair is £59). I obviously disputed this but as my phone was my camera I had no photographic proof of this. 3 weeks later my phone is still in for repair, Samsung cannot contact the repair centre as they have no contact details for them and I have no phone.
Overall this phone has a known issue with the battery connection and Samsung will damage your screen voiding your warranty if you try and get it fixed. AVOID.
