Thank you for calling this out. I and others have done so via the Samsung Members forums as well. I was excited to get OneUI 8 only to boot into DeX and find:* Lost ability to snap windows to quadrants/corners (two-app split-screen only now). * The UI scaling is all over the place (although this seems to be a theme with OneUI 8 in general - everything feels like it's overly padded and scaled up for a senior citizen). Example: The Finder in DeX has a hilariously large UI compared to anything else. * The new "start menu" app drawer is a cluttered mess and it no longer mirrors how I've set up my app drawer on my phone. * App windows have lost their persistent sizing. In OneUI 7 I could resize a window, close it, then re-open the app and the window would be located where I closed it and the same size. In OneUI 8 I have to resize and relocate the window every time I re-open the app. This is super annoying. * The ridiculous home screen padding on the top, bottom, left and right sides - why do I need to codense all of my desktop icons into the middle of the screen now? * Lost the ability to drag and select multiple items on the home screen. Google's desktop mode is still buried in Developer Options for a reason. Nearly 10 years of Samsung DeX, and Google still hasn't properly launched the native desktop mode. Samsung should not have kneecapped DeX just to align the base when it comes with significant steps backwards.

Apple and Samsung (and others for that matter) have taken design inspiration from each other for years. This is not unique to just the phone industry but has been true in the AV, automotive, food, etc industries for ever. Remember the old adage "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". If it wasn't so divisive, it would almost be comical watching the childishness trash talking from both sides. I am not a fan of Apple's ecosystem at all but so e love it and I wish Apple all the success as I wish all the other manufacturers all the success. I have been a Samsung/Android fan for years now and will remain so until their is a compelling reason to move to another platform. I do think Samsung needs to be more aggressive with their product features or they risk getting left behind in the Android space. I just hope we learn to respect others opinions and stop the name calling and shaming. Most Apple people will always be Apple people and the same for Android people.

I'm currently a wireless vision employee, a T-Mobile third party. Everything in this article is true. Only thing missing is that if we don't meet our T-Life adoption metric or use the app to do upgrades, add a lines, etc. we as employees lose a majority of our monthly commission check. If people don't pay their bill, we lose our commission check. If someone gets us to trade in or warranty exchange a even slightly damaged phone, we lose our commission check. My manager hasn't seen a dollar in commission in months because of the bulls**t that T-Mobiles doing to our pay structures. Hell, I f**kin work for them and don't even make enough to pay my own T-Mobile phone bill. I'm supposed to be providing for 2 adults and three kids but T-Mobile makes it f**kin impossible to make any money. If someone comes into my store asking for an upgrade or add a line. I straight up tell them if they want to get it done today, they'll need to do it in cash or it f**ks me over. I don't even bother lying to them. I won't work a sales job and be a lier. Something has to give.

Ultimately you have to give T-Mobile credit as they made things right, even more than right, in the end. With all the negativity people project, sometimes we forget to consider the positive.

I have the 13 and use a OnePlus brick and cable and still get this notification randomly. It is a software bug. So many words to literally say nothing here. Most likely you got the difference in standby draining because you recalibrated the charging estimates by letting it drop to 1%, and then fully charging it (which is ok when done occasionally)

Maybe Samsung will remove the unfolding "feature" like they did with the S pen, since obviously they dont believe users unfold it that much since clearly a unit that has been unfolded "a lot" cant handle the unfolding....morons.
