Some samsung phones are this bad and sometimes even worse (A53, M55).
I’m guessing its a samsung optimization issue alongside using cheap parts. Chinese OEMs in the same price range use faster chips and Vapor cooling chamber for improved performance.
Haven’t they had major issues with the OneUI 7 rollout on other devices? I don’t think this has anything to do with OneUI being “bloated” as others are saying, like you my family has many mid-range Samsungs and none of them ever had performance issues. Last year’s weren’t anywhere near this bad, either. To me it sounds like something is seriously fucked up with OneUI 7, which these new phones are launching with, and that is the major reason why it the weaker chipsets are suddenly struggling.
Very well could be. No one in my has a phone with OneUI 7, and I am only happy out phones will be getting it once it’s been beta tested by someone else. 😀
I’ve been using mid-tier phones for the past ~10 years (including Samsung A series in the last 5) and I’ve never experienced a mid-tier smartphone working this bad on release.
Don’t get me wrong, I got a work issued Galaxy Note 3 in 2014 and I swore off Samsung for 6 years. I liked the phone itself, but software experience was just so bad. It felt like a completely different device after Installed Lineage OS.
But then tried the A50 (after reading several in-depth reviews) and I’ve been buying mid-tier Samsung device for myself and the family sense then.
I am surprised the performance was this bad at release. It almost sounds there could something else going on.

Well, it’s a lower mid-tier phone. It exists to make you want to upgrade to a higher tier.

I’ll take your word for it, and believe you. I always buy the last, or next to last generation.
But never Samsung.
