Things that have been removed and/or worsened in the A/M/F series and FE/Lite series on tablets in the latest updates
*This is the last time I'm saying this. I'm posting here because the One UI subreddit won't let me or they delete my post (the moderators there are ridiculous, they treat everything like it's a real-life issue😡).
As most non-S series users know, Samsung is employing a dirty strategy with our devices through updates, removing more and more features that have been present in all previous versions and have always worked well. And no, don't tell me we get what we pay for. Because that's not the case. I don't mind missing some features that the S series has, since some of them haven't always been there. But what does bother me is that we have several years of software updates, which are supposed to be for the better, but instead, for non-S series devices, it's the opposite. One UI 7.0 was basically the last version of One UI that treated non-S series devices well, with only minor and insignificant differences. Here's the list of things they've started removing since One UI 8.0, that Samsung "coincidentally" chose the ones that are used on a daily basis.:
One UI 8.0:
•The app opening speed, both in gesture mode and buttons, became too fast.
One UI 8.5:
•They removed the animations from the Quick Panel toggle icons when activating/deactivating them.
•The static blur of the Quick Panel was nerfed, making it excessively blurry, so the outline of what's behind it is barely visible and it looks like a gradient.
*And as a positive point of One UI 8.5, they at least included the expansion animation when you press and hold toggles like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Rotation, an animation that was previously only available on S-series devices in One UI 7/8.0.
What do you think of this strategy from Samsung? Do you agree with them removing features that have always been there, or do you think it's wrong of them when we pay for their devices with so many years of promised updates? Let's see what awaits us in One UI 9.0...🫡
