Opinion
Samsung mid range smartphones are slow and laggy! Do you think?
Samsung has already remained the undoubted king in the budget smartphone market worldwide as it offers the premium-ness that is truly packed with features. But presently the best value for money phones are falling behind the competition from Apple and Google in terms of performance.
At present conditions, the mid-range Samsung smartphone gets laggy during normal usage. Galaxy A53 users from popular online blogs have started reporting the slowdown and shutters about the Samsung Galaxy A53 (1280 Exynos Processor), when under heavy usage.

The device lagging includes the animation lags, when scrolling through the user interface, opening the camera, and taking a photo. I am sadly writing this as it is excitingly surprising to me and to the Samsung lovers. Because now the chock-full features of One UI 4.1 are straight away compared with the stock Android 12 on the Pixel smartphones.
This should be a valid concern for Samsung, and it should manage to maintain the iron out the A53’s performance patch-ups via software updates. This could be unknown to you but it is not impossible as well.
It is not at all worth throwing the additional 2MP macro camera along with a 2MP depth camera sensor, just for some dollars. In my opinion, it’s not the display nor its refresh rate that the phone of Samsung offers, but all together with the processor capabilities it does all.
I am a budget segment phone buyer who would love to buy phones always in a mid-range and aspire to have longevity and power-packed performance. While buying the phone I only consider some of the necessary features that are necessary for me to increase my productivity. Providing 5G capabilities will not impress the buyer.
Nowadays people keep their phones for longer, as they want to utilize every single penny they have invested. The companies do limit and underrate the performance of the processor according to the phone class or segment to put a price cap and earn profits in each segment individually but I think the smartphone companies should take care of these things and it is better not to optimize and limit them each and every single time. Presently I am dreaming about when would the latest One UI 5 is going to come.

In July 2024, Samsung launched One UI 6.1.1 based on Android 14 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. This major update includes a range of new AI features and enhancements to improve user experience.
By early September 2024, Samsung began rolling out One UI 6.1.1 for older flagship devices, with the Galaxy S24 series being the first to receive it. This rollout started after a gap of approximately two months following the debut of One UI 6.1.1.
Currently, One UI 6.1.1 update is available for several devices, including the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S23 series (including the Galaxy S23 FE), Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Fold 3. Samsung is actively working to ensure that this major update reaches all compatible devices across various regions.
However, questions arise regarding non-flagship devices. Unfortunately, non-flagship devices including those in the Galaxy A, M, and F series are not set to receive One UI 6.1.1. Instead, these devices might get some features of the One UI 6.1.1 in the upcoming One UI 7 update.
It is expected that recently launched models like the Galaxy A55, Galaxy A25, Galaxy M55, and more will include some One UI 6.1.1 features with the One UI 7 update.
However, there is no official confirmation regarding the availability of One UI 6.1.1 for non-flagship devices. Users of the Samsung Galaxy A, M, and F series are disappointed due to the lack of access to One UI 6.1.1.
While One UI 6.1.1 is limited to flagship devices, One UI 7 should bring some of those features to non-flagship models. If you have a Galaxy A, M, or F series phone, we’d like to hear your thoughts. You can share your opinions in the comments on our social media platforms.

Samsung’s relationship with Google is rock solid. Both companies collaborate on different products to benefit their consumer base. Is it the right time for Samsung to develop a Galaxy-dedicated OS or at least Android for Galaxy?
Google worked with Samsung to optimize Android for foldables and tablets. The company had even launched Android 12L, a version dedicated to large-screen devices. Now, Samsung should work with Google to optimize Android for Galaxy devices.
Samsung flagships are equipped with pro-grade hardware specifications. The company manages to optimize the One UI software accordingly. Meanwhile, there are still a lot of areas, that require significant improvements.
Benefits of Android for Galaxy
Samsung fine-tunes Android for Galaxy products. Meanwhile, Android for Galaxy will make things a lot better, eventually benefitting end users. It shouldn’t be the Tizen approach, but a collaborative progress.
Android optimized for Galaxy devices should allow users to enjoy the power and personalization of the OS. Its optimization level for Galaxy devices will offer faster app launches, performance improvements, and longer battery life.
Samsung owns Exynos, Galaxy AI, Good Lock, and a lot of stunning services. A combined approach can significantly uplevel the user experience. Functional capabilities would also be boosted, taking Galaxy’s experience to a whole new level.
Difficulties
Android’s presence is vast. It’s available across different brands including Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, and so on. Samsung is unquestionably the biggest Android vendor but Google could find it difficult to optimize Android for all Galaxies.
The Korean tech giant itself tests and deploys security updates on Galaxy devices. Various applications are already available with better features than Google services such as the Internet. Even Google takes inspiration from Galaxies to develop features for Pixel phones.
Samsung not only has flagship phones, but also brings budget, mid-range, and premium mid-range phones. These products use different hardware such as camera and processor, requiring a need for unified software. Just a collective approach is required to end all kinds of difficulties.
"Android for Galaxy" ❤️

Google’s Pixel 9 series is official with pretty new AI stuff. The most notable thing that changed with this year’s Pixel phones is the Android installation. I guess, Google took a sip of poison to push Samsung Galaxy’s Android OS superiority further.
Pixel 9 series comes with Android 14, rather than the latest OS. Pixel 8 series and later devices are supported by seven years of OS updates. However, the Pixel 9 will get one less Android upgrade than that it deserves to have.
Google’s decision puts the Pixel 9 together with last year’s Pixel 8 series. Both lineups will end their major upgrade life at Android 21. Well, Pixel phones are neither durable nor Google provides satisfactory support, so don’t expect more than 1 year of service.
The decision, however, aligns with Samsung’s superiority, let’s decode.
The Galaxy S25 series will be the first (imp) to come with Android 15 pre-installed. You can guess how things have been decided by downgrading the Pixel 9 lineup. As a Samsung fan, I always wanted H2 Galaxy products to come with the latest OS.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 also come with Android 14. The OS was released in October last year and is still arriving pre-installed. Google ultimately filled the OS gap between Galaxy foldables and Pixel phones at a cost of Pixel downgrade.
Android 15 might be released on the official channel in October as last year. Eligible Pixel phones will start getting the major firmware update. Samsung is also expected to begin the One UI 7 update rollout for Galaxy models by the end of October.
In the first phase, Samsung’s Android 15 will arrive on flagship phones. However, the Korean tech giant won’t make other users wait much. The One UI 7 update rollout may begin for all eligible Galaxy models before 2024 ends.
