Phone owned for less than 3 months

This is the second worst phone I have ever had, and by far the worst phone that I have ever seen Samsung make. The UI is ok, nothing impressive, build quality is certainly on the cheaper end, it feels like there is a lot of plastic in the phone and it feels cheap. Reception is average, as well as call quality

What I like

Literally none

What I don't like

Poorly done UI and software causes the phone to run slowly and Lag more than it should
Huge issues with the charging port that causes the phone to be unable to charge, this is frequently caused by just the sweat on your hands from everyday use. This makes the phone worthless,
This phone only comes in a 6gb model in terms of RAM and they do not offer an 8gb model at all
No extra features, very limited in terms of the novelty features that many phones have, and the few that this phone has such as the high refresh rate on the screen doesn't even work
