Hello, I’m a manager of a Samsung experience store, and we have a repair center at the back of the experience center, with the new S22 series Samsung removed all the incompatibility errors with repairs. We even tested the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner in many ways and didn’t found any problems. I own a Ultra variant for a couple weeks and before the announcement we had to use a special case to hide its exterior, we can confirm that with the ultra series you won’t find any problems also :) If you get some errors nonetheless in terms of inaccurate fingerprint scanning the experience stores should calibrate the sensor for a small fee since you replaced the screen out of warranty. We tested in many ways and didn’t found a single problem with any function of the S22 series including the ultra so we expect not to have that many customers coming in for calibrations or other situations. But since it’s tech we still offer the option.

Literally everyone on twitter and youtube reviews bitched about the S21 being a "cheap" plastic back phone for the price. iPhone users complained about Samsung releasing a "plastic phone" in 2021 and calling it a cheap scam (I've seen the argument "at least my iPhone is not a plastic phone" being thrown around too often). Now that Samsung, to please its costumers, got back to full glass on the whole S22 lineup to make it as premium as possible even the smaller S22, people are complaining that glass breaks and the plastic was awesome. Come on. We will always have something to complain about don't we. At least yes glass is more premium and transfers temperature better than plastic (which is almost a thermal insulator) so by being glass the S22 will cool itself passively better. So yea, plastic sometimes is awesome for durability, but I think it's just better to be glass to stop people complaining about it and help it cool

Is that possible? I know it happened to me where I stupidly one late night pushed it too far...it had some resistance and then fully went in. That's how I knew I had punctured it. Now when I very carefully insert the ejector tool again to check it, it provides no resistance.

I massively dislike Apple products purely because I want to pick and choose, I don't want to be told what I have to buy/use, which is why I prefer the wider Android range. However, while Apple is on one extreme end, modular phones would be on the other extreme, having FULL choice.

@@sabersz the average consumer won't be spending hours of their lifetime opening up and screwing up their devices just because they want to upgrade a part if a modular phone was of the same proportions as current smartphones. Ease of replacing parts is what makes the modular phone bulky. Project Ara was just a render, the main idea was based on Dave Hakken's "Phone blocks" which was a bulky device. Trade-in for parts might seem like a good idea but that's actually not good from a business standpoint as most Android phones are sourcing parts from third party manufacturers. You clearly haven't seen the cost of replacement displays and SoCs, have you? Cost is why phones go to eWaste because people simply buy a new one instead of spending hundreds to repair their existing one. Modular phones won't make it any better because OLED displays which are the norm now cost more to manufacture and in the end have a high selling price.
