Im using one myself on android 12 and its been fine so far but if you feel safer doing so then you can always leave it until last minute to update but id say what happened was most likely a manufacturing issue of some kind that bugged out.
Im no expert tho but hey, at least they replaced it for you, thats always a plus!

If its not turning on then get that to samsung support asap, you can get them to come to your door for it aswell.
If its freezing it could be something user fixable.

WhiteDragem, 09 Feb 2022I suppose I have a different opinion regarding this… (altho... moreu right i hope that's true, but about exynos let's be honest, they are seeling a processor without finished, it's like s21 exynos variant was better after software updates, but must be you to decide qualcom or samsung, but i'm trying to say more important than 3.5 or sd card is the android need to change and i says cause i like it, and i'm sorry if i knew about thats problem in bluetooth, i hope no one be hurt and if that's is true i agree with you, but you think android need change?

Anonymous, 07 Feb 2022i feel u but i'm more sad than u if samsung listen to ... moreI suppose I have a different opinion regarding this… (although I could easily champion the belief you share as well).
I do believe that Samsung want to have top tier flagships.
Everyone does….
Flagships are what get reviewers generating ‘positive buzz’.
Sometimes, (historically speaking) some companies do not move enough hardware to be eligible for ‘highest tier parts’ for their builds (when the ‘tough glass’ war was at its peak, there wasn’t enough ‘tough glass’ to go around and the ‘not so big’ manufacturers had to scramble to be allocated stock).
Unlike many people, I am a fan of Exynos (or I was); on the simple basis that Samsung made the processor, had the same advantage that Apple have (regarding building the hardware AND the software) and could naturally leverage all the cores to make the front end GUI and Operating System software ‘run optimally’.
This is the disadvantage of competing against a manufacturer that has the best OS (regarding ‘no bloat’,(Apple)), and hardware (literally Apple have most of the worlds best ARM chip engineers).
The Apple processors are untouchable for ‘performance per watt’ (the battleground in portable parts).
Irrelevant about how end users feel about software features and ‘flexibility’, Apple have ‘very few hardware iterations to support and the code is highly optimised for the customised silicon.
When Samsung cannot run with Exynos (the market filled with whinging consumers who blindly buy into the ‘spec sheet marketing wars’; that show the Qualcomm parts benchmarking better etc), they cannot leverage their considerable Research and Development that went into utilising ‘their best bet effort in a highly competitive market’.
I used to always WANT the Exynos variants (mad I know!?) especially due to paired DAC chips that were actually ‘audio quality parts’.. the Qualcomm chips typically being nothing special by comparison.
Now, in fairness, any cheap DAP (Digital Audio Player; a ‘dedicated music device’) will typically blow away the best phones ever made, for sound quality.
Even as a transport passing digital sound over USB, I had to highly customise Android to turn off ALL sensors (and certainly NOT use the wifi/radios(eg bluetooth and cellular network), and flagship phones were ‘very average’ in the duty as a digital transport. (all android devices generally are, except for, say a FiiO DAP that has a customised Android variant - which can be removed by ‘hidden updates’ when connecting to Play Store,.. but thats’ “another article”)..
Flagship phones should be something special.
3.5mm jacks aren’t so bad.. (many people want them, and many people are ‘very uninformed that bluetooth multipoint in their ear canals is ‘bad for health’, (250 doctors approaching World Heath Organisation to get some protection in place :NO SUCCESS!)(and bluetooth wants to ‘up their range of use’ which will require more power in the new war for range and bandwidth (Hi Res audio))..
The lack of memory cards, too, is a nightmare for end users, but more of a nightmare if they give the slot,.. as Android will happily default to external storage and then the 4K HDR video record features will cause all sorts of issues… (many cheap SD cards not having fast enough write speeds).
To avoid the service channel hassles, most companies are removing features that need ‘servicing’ (such as explaining why a users’ budget SD card isn’t quick enough for 4K video recording).
Some things are ‘out of their control’, some things are done to save $, and then the dodgy anti consumer stuff is when they deprecate hardware..
If only one of these issues was the norm, we would mostly be alright with it..
But due to the way these things can quickly stack.. we as consumers never know what (difficulties) the next market cycle will bring.
Sometimes things ARE beyond their control.
The problem is- these devices are costly; for the average consumer the ‘big purchases in life were (maybe a house), Car, Fridge, Couch and TV (order depends on geek factor and whether you need a car, I suppose).
Nowadays a phone can be one of the biggest purchases that most of the world buys.
manufacturers figured out they could make this sale more frequently, and sadly, we now spend crazy money for a small toy, and then we do it all again, not so long after the last one we bought.
Some even do it for the fashion..
Our planet cannot afford the landfill, nor the loss of precious resources.
Unfortunately no company can break the cycle in a competitive market, or else be devoured by the companies willing put $ before people/planet.
To say something good about Samsung; they were pretty much the only manufacturer that switched to pushing the RF out the back of the phone only (for cell tower reception).
All the other players decided ‘if we do that’, ‘we would be acknowledging there MIGHT be (health) issues/danger that they are aware of’.
For twenty years, no one has followed suit, and to this day, Samsung phones typically have the lowest SAR levels for end users.
(Children should generally have a ‘well selected’ Samsung device’ as the SAR, being considerably lower, generally, than all other phones, means they might be able to be on their phone for 6-10 minutes to receive equal SAR as, say, a new iPhone would give them in ‘one minute’)
Childrens BloodBrainBarriers are not fully developed.. so need more protection than ‘standard’.
those old 3.5mm jacks allowed wired headsets that might negate the SAR issue (mostly), of course many headsets actually became ‘like an antenna’ and actually put the SAR in the ear canal (no bone to reflect the SAR from the brain).
Maybe this is the secret reason most companies wanted to remove the jack ;-)

Android need to learn from IOS and the most part of users don't see that, security and updates, but it isn't all battery and ram manger are terrible and they don't care about the quality of product cause they know they gonna make a piece of sh** and we wanna buy and we will say this is the best
