One UI 7 Is Terrible

[membwr]

Samsung you've really messed up here

I'm a partially sighted person with several visual constraints

I have an s21 Ultra, wanting the big screen for visual beneficiary reasons

I used to use the font size & style & the screen zoom features which are pretty mediocre, given the expense of the phone.

However they were affectively increasing fonts on most apps

But not pulling through on the notification panel, telegram, camera settings (the icons)

I upgraded to One UI 7, because my phones features tend to brake when I don't update it like the force dark mode feature 

But the updates always cause function problems

This one has gone too far in defeating the purpose of a big screen

Along with terrible and complex lay outs, the update has heavily restricted visual enhancement, with my font & screen zoom maxed out its average at best.

The notification panel & lock screen notifications are also tiny

I've tried to find a work around, the only one being the maximum or minimum width dev option 

But it's restricted the width from being any less than 320, which is the largest display

You need to lower the number for a larger display but it won't let me

Samsung have really messed up hard here, I'm not someone who likes switching phones so often due to the complexity and hassle of set ups but this one has really crossed boundaries

Having a sight loss condition & not being able to amend my display accordingly makes this impact critical and very difficult to use my phone 

Sort it out & roll back these horrific updates 

Alert users of these restrictive changes to prevent situations like this

Honestly shocking the lack of warning and preparation going into these updates

What font size did you write this in? 78? Totally unreadable on my phone, I don't feel like scrolling, it's like you were writing a novel 😂

Have some respect for the community, not everyone is blind and we don't need that much zoom, I didn't even read anything because I don't feel like it

[Sonora]

If you need that size of letter,  think about a tablet, it's bigger than a smartphone, and can also be used as a phone.

I didn't read it either. 😂

You can chose Bold Font for your phone and increase the font size from Display Settings, Visual enhancements and Accebility on your phone. That will help with your visual impairment.

Just going to copy and paste in a font people can see

Ui7 isn't really set up for s21 ultra. And to be blunt. You could do with at least a s22 ultra or higher. I'm currently on a s23 ultra myself running ui7 beta. And to be honest, it's been fantastic. Downside cost
Upside you can get AI to read messages, books email and alot more that your s21 ultra can't do. Some due to how old it is. It's worth the cost for the better features and the upto date security. Be safe. Hope that helps.

It should be noted that the S21 Ultra received the latest software update and will receive 2, possibly 3 more security updates. And that's it. S21 series is already past.

[Yetski]

It's not, you need to update your phone as the software updates end for you phone. If you can, get s23 s24 or s25 you can get the better screen. Better and more fluid movies, music. And the latest security. And ui7 is made for these. Hope that helps.
Question: what are you using you device for.. thanks

OP has no intention of answering, he wrote his own 😂
