So i was planning to get the normal S22 but after hearing all about how the battery sucks i'm now looking at this one
Anyone who's used this phone for a while, how is the battery? The battery is perhaps the most important part of a phone atleast for me. I spent most of time out where i can't charge my phone and i don't want it dying on me too fast

Anonymous, 03 Aug 2022I think its about the fuse that gets burned once rooted/boo... moreYes, for the burned fuse. This fuse is here to check if the system was tampered. Some Samsung apps (especially those related to security) would check this fuse, and refuse to work if it is burned. Most apps won't. I've already flashed an old A70, in order to put a more recent version of Android. It works fine.

If you are a custom firmware heavy user, better avoid Samsung as this is a permanent irreversible burned fuse.

Anonymous, 02 Aug 2022Is it safe to root or unlock bootloader now without trippin... moreUnsure what you mean. Basically if you root/flash a rom, it means that you renounce once for all, to use Knox, and all services that depends on it, in particular Samsung pay. And this can't be reverted.
More details on this here:
https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-platform-for-enterprise/faqs/faq-115013719548.htm
If you don't care of this Knox thing, just do what you want. It might affect warranty.

Therere's just a security hook at system launch, that allows you to install knox stuff if you wish. They could remove the knox branding at start, and you wouldn't notice.

If not for the useless Knox, rooting & debloating would be no problem but it trips it & is unreversable. Not gonna buy another Samsung unless they atleast remove that useless Knox.

A bit disappointed too, but fortunately there's fast charging. I can end the day, if I don't use too much the phone.
> anytime I hold the phone in one hand, my pinky sits naturally right over the mic hole
Happens to me too, but easy to avoid by holding phone on the long sides rather than bottom.
> cameras are glitchy often
Not for me. I have a bigger problem with the excessive processing that looks like some water paintings.
> The samsung UI still sucks
Try to install an other launcher.
> the phone overheats much too easily
I noticed this problem at begin, but it disappeared.

Got this phone for work, first impression is that the battery life sucks, even with all the downgrades samsung did to improve it. The front mic is literally in the worst spot, anytime I hold the phone in one hand, my pinky sits naturally right over the mic hole. The build quality feels plastic, if i compare to my old pixel 3 it feels like a budget phone in comparison. The cameras are glitchy often, they don't work in most apps, I often have to take a pic on the camera app and then upload that instead of taking the pic directly in app using the camera API. The samsung UI still sucks compared to google, especially the app drawer, why is samsung still using pages for this? I have so many apps and scrolling through is so tedious compared to just sling-shotting to the bottom of the list in alphabetical order.
the phone overheats much too easily, even just a single video call gets it up to what feels like a boiling point. To top it off, as others have mentioned, Samsung actually made the specs worse than some previous gen phones, does not feel like a flagship phone at all.
I only wish I could return it. I wanted to try samsung again just to see because the pixel 7 isn't out yet. I should have waited for it.
absolute pile of steaming sh*t

It wouldn't be wise to load a 1440p screen with the new snapdragon 8gen 1 chipset that over heats over time , to think about it Samsung still holds the title of best Android screen . The s8 of years ago was probably about high end hardware . The higher the hardware the better the performance but Samsung has switched over , they're starting to look more like iPhone each passing year . There is absolutely nothing wrong about reduced screen resolution as long as the software can process images perfectly.
