My girlfriend has an A52 and her dad had an A23 (or whatever 3rd gen low-tier but not the cheapest).
Both of them regularly, from day 1 have lost cellular signal or 4G/5G signal, and my girlfriend even had to get a new sum card because the A52 simply refused to use it and she was “stuck” in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no map and no cellular to call someone because of her Samsung phone.
They both barely worked as a phone for a long time. My xperia 5ii had a problem of losing 4G every once in a while until I turned airplane mode on and off again.
My point is that most phones, regardless of manufacturer, have shit signal or intermittent cellular problems, that vary from device to device. n=1 anecdotes are a pretty bad metric of saying whether a phone is good or not. Manufacturers should be required to publish standardized volume testing.

Not to mention that all new Samsung’s come with forced Israeli spyware that you can’t uninstall.
