As a Samsung user of 6 years, mainly due to job phone policy, I say they deserve it.

Great screens, but gawddamn they aren't worth their price. No charger, no headphone jack, no expandable storage, fingerprint sensor that are iffy and damn OS taking up 30% of your storage, no matter which option you go for.

I like the camera and s-pen on my S22u but that's it. They need to lower price and make competent mid range phones again, like the A52s.

I love the spen, and never had trouble with the finger print scanner... But you nail the rest of the list.

Fingerprint issues were my biggest complaint on Note 20, coming from S9, that was a huge let down.

Huh, I guess I just got lucky, or have "typical" finger prints!

Try that with a screen protector on 20 series and you'll see what I mean. With other brands using optical sensor, you don't need to worry about it at all.

I have a screen protector on my s22u, without a problem.

As I said, maybe I'm just lucky. /Shrug.

Which kind? One that fully adhere to screen or the kind with glue on edges and circular area near sensor?
