Congrats you're the equivalent of the IPA drinking soy boys following the sheep.
Android is the superior product in every way, but people like you follow the marketing blindly.
OP, download GBoard.

I'm not gonna lie, Im snowed in and bored. I downloaded GBoard on a whim thanks to opening this thread, and as I type this post out with it............
....... It really is a lot better than the default Samsung keyboard. I mean.....ALOT. And I am neither old nor fat fingered. It definitely works more intuitively.
thanks

I have the same issue and it seems to be getting worse.

You know you can customize the keyboard. I have hardly any issues on my Samsung S25. If I do, usually it corrects it. I recommend using SwiftKey as your keyboard.

I have a Galaxy Z Fold 7. Might be the best phone on the market.

Don't touch the embed when scrolling and you should be good

Since there are a few Samsung guys in this thread I need to ask y'all a question. Have any of you experienced issues with chrome being very slow and laggy? I have had this problem on my galaxy phone, particular on TD when there's embedded video in the threads. I click on a thread with embedded video and the screen is stuck for 10-20 seconds before I can scroll and when I do eventually scrolI it's very jumpy and not smooth. It got so bad that I switched to the Samsung browser as my default and I really don't like the interface as much but at least it doesn't lag on tigerdroppings
Twitter embeds are messing with Chrome badly. It cant handle them on this website. Mine will lock up.

I’ve noticed the past week or so it locks up before you can even scroll past. It’s locking up for a longer period now as well.

Ok, I will play your game.
Flagship Samsung vs flagship apple.
Hardware wise:
Raw performance, android will have more ram, making things like multitasking, split screen, background apps, DeX use.
Higher screen resolution, and wider band of refresh rate (better battery performance). Also better brightness.
Camera isn't even in the same class, 200 mp vs 48mp
Faster charging on both wireless and wired. Also Samsung allows you to charge other devices using your phone.
Storage is equal, but apple does not facilitate storage access (file access), on android I can plug in a USB c flash drive and transfer files exactly as I would on a PC.
Software wise:
Android allows split screen, apple only does on iPad.
DeX desktop mode. Full user experience wireless or wired with android. Apple doesn't support.
Android offers more general flexibility, apps, side loading, etc.
I can keep going but I think you get my point. The only thing apple does well is ecosystem, as far as having a superior device, you do not. I think ecosystem is largely overstated as well, Google offers the same cohesion with their products.
A good analogy is you have a Chromebook and Android users have a real computer.

And this is how common in the real world?

Shows how little you understand about how digital cameras work, instead of just falling for the more is better hook line and sinker.

Firefox doesnt have the problem it seems.

I miss the slide out keyboards for the first 4 generations of Droids. That shite was awesome.
Posted on 1/25/26 at 9:12 am to MRTigerFan
It's the best way to go.

Lol. Did apple ever add a clipboard?

Yes there's a thread on the Help Board. I have to back out of the page and go back in and scroll fast past the embedded Tweet thats frozen.

I prefer the Samsung browser over Chrome. It seems more user friendly to me, and I havent had any of the issues you speak of. Ad blockers are your friend.
