Do we have a master list of issues that we need Samsung to look into urgently?
Apologies if we do but i just jotted the following down quickly.
- Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner - this has been fooled by a 3d print of a photo of a fingerprint taken froma a glass, we need a response from Samsung on this ASAP. Why is this "security" weaker than that of every previous biometric secured phone they have offered? Are they looking into this and testing this? Can they offer any reassurances? Can they do anything to address this?
- Camera - seriously below par performance, imaages are trashed by noise and compression. This is not a hardware issue, it is software. Google camera removes most if not all of this noise when used (can only be done on Snapdragon devices) so please, sort out the camera app
- Camera - night mode, please do something Samsung as the competition are laying waste to your camera in this regard, you *used* to be the market leader, what happened?
- Camera - unable to turn off HDR - tried and tested multiple times/ways. HDR is still being applied whether this is turned on or off
- Camera - we need to be able to change the resolution and not just the aspect ratio, this even works on my wifes S9 with android pie
- Camera - pro mode for video - please reinstate this, why was this even removed?
- Notifications - this is huge - please, pelase, PLEASE can Samsung please enhance the GUI or AOD to utilise the camera cutout to act as a notification light. We all know there is no LED anymore to tell us if we have missed calls/messages/emails etc but this is absilutely huge in 2019 to have a phone that does not let the user know if they have items that they need to attend to on their phone, especially when it is seemingly a stupidly easy fix for Samsung to implement. Just look at what has been done by (granted, horrible) 3rd parties in the app store. PLEASE!
- Notifications - please also use this as a charging light. Basically, just replicate the functionality of the LED on every single previous Samsung phone but use the camera cutout instead, i mean, these are low power OLED after all
- General OS - it seems quite apparent that this was very rushed and there are aspects of the skin/os that reflect that. This needs sorted
Feel free to add to this list.
Above all, we need some transparency and communication from Samsung about all of the above as they are making a mockery of their 2019 flagships.
Head in the sand is not going to cut it right now guys.
Are any of the ambassadors in communication with Samsung and if not, how do we feed this back to them?
