However, Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones still remain among the most preferred choices of buyers owing to the display, camera system, and One UI provided by the brand. Yet, like all other smartphones, Galaxy phones also have certain glitches that affect their performance. This paper provides a list of eight problems users may encounter using Galaxy models.

Fast Battery Drain

One of the most frequent troubles reported by the owners of the phones in question concerns the battery drain. This problem usually arises when there are background apps that are working or the Always On Display option is activated and high refresh rates settings are left on.

Overheating During Normal Use

Certain models of the device start heating up quickly even during regular usage (without games and charging). The main reasons for such a phenomenon include the background apps and bugs that appeared after the recent update.

Touchscreen Lag Or Ghost Touch

The problem under discussion may arise due to the use of specific types of screen protectors. Even some original protectors may lead to this issue.

Storage Getting Full Quickly

Due to some cached files, duplicates of photos, and leftovers of apps, storage of the Galaxy phone starts filling up unexpectedly.

One UI Bloat And Bixby Clutter

There are many useful features in One UI; however, it is accompanied by such bloatware as Bixby operating in the background and Samsung Daily taking place on the home screen.

Wi-Fi And Connectivity Drops

This problem usually occurs in the form of random disconnects from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The main reasons for this issue are power-saving settings and outdated firmware.

Camera App Issues

Problems such as the camera not opening, blurry photos and black screens usually appear after updating the software and concern several Galaxy generations.

Screen Flickering On Newer Models

Some recent flagships of Samsung also experience some problems with the screen. For instance, there might be screen flickering and scrolling lags that appear quickly after the purchase.

All the above issues are not unique for Galaxy phones. However, considering their frequency, it would be reasonable for the Galaxy users to deal with them before they appear.
