Galaxy S10+ camera lag

[Alexpop]

My galaxy s10+ moves pretty good in all apps an interfaces but when it comes to the camera app it turns REALLY laggy and slow. For example, if I try to turn the camera from the main one to the selfie, it takes about 5 seconds and it's really annoying. Same if I try to switch modes, from camera to video or to night mode, it just takes forever. I tried everything, I deleted cache, data of the app, I reseted it, main storage is internal memory, I just can't solve it and it's a really big problem when I try to shoot a photo rapidly. In third party apps such as snapchat it doesn't take as long to switch cameras, I remember that some years ago it wasn't like this at all, and my low range galaxy A series is a lot faster in this domain, and it's from the same year.

Considering your phone is now over 5 years old, and hasn't had any Android updates since March of 2023, could that be your problem?

[Alexpop]

No, because I have an A series phone from the same year with the same version of Android and it doesn't have this problem. This phone some years ago didn't have this problem either  and i dont understand why it does now, why did it get worse with software updates? Also, the s10 it is a 5 year old phone but I is a top end phone and its processor is faster than most of today's middle range

Updates keep the phone optimized for peak performance. Again, since your phone has not been updated in nearly two years, it is no longer optimized for peak performance. I'm sure the current differences between your S10+ and your A series phone are due to the processors used which are completely different.

It doesn't make sense that with android 10 it was fast, and now, with android 12 it's slow, it should be more optimized after 2 android updates. Doesn't make sense that the updates made it slower.

The phone came out in 2019 it hasn't gotten updates since March of 2023 none of what you're saying matters what matters is the phone is not supported which means any optimization it had is gone because updates improve performance at optimization this thing has not been updated recently so it doesn't matter what you think the point is that phone is useless basically and a flagship phone from 2019 is going to be different than a budget phone from the same year

[Alexpop]

It's still not normal for a fast phone to take forever to switch cameras or to acces video mode. In everything else, this phone is pretty fast, faster than 2024 mid range phones. How is it different than a budget phone from 2019? The budget phone is worse, hasn't gotten any updates since 2021 and its still faster in the camera app, I get that they don't optimise it anymore, but it should not get worse than before once they stop updating it, it should stay the same, and some years ago I didn't have this problem

[yamialex]

For a phone that is 5 years old yes it is budget phones are designed an entirely different way than a flagship phone and if the phone doesn't get consistent optimization updates it's not going to be optimize properly so a 5-year-old phone lagging is pretty common

[Alexpop]

What you're saying doesn't make sense at all. A flagship is definitely engineered to last longer and perform better than a middle range. And again, it isn't normal for it to perform worse than before because it doesn't get MORE optimised than before, but it also doesn't get UNOPTIMISED or less optimised.

Also, it doesn't make sense because my 2015 Galaxy s6 still performs better in the camera app, an OLD FLAGSHIP, because it doesn't get less optimised 

[yamialex]

That's not always true a flagship does not always get engineered to last longer and perform better that's why they send software updates overtime the device cannot handle updates that's why they give you a time frame of when it's going to be supported once it's not supported all bets are off don't expect anything and it starts failing that's too bad which is what the phone is doing because it's 5 years old clearly you don't like what I'm saying but you don't have a choice you can either just ignore it or continue to try and argue when we're telling you it is a 5-year-old phone that is no longer supported by Samsung which means it's going to start failing you don't like it that's too bad it's a fact it's 5 years old fact it's no longer supported by the manufacturer fact those are things you can't deny
